Overall, we have been less than completely impressed with Waystar. Although it's easier than our previous software, it gets very cumbersome when looking for a particular claim and its actual outcome. You can pull up a claim number, and it shows it went to the payer, but it never got there per the payer, resulting in timely filing denials. So now, we just can't rely on what's on the Waystar portal.

Pros

Waystar is much easier to use than our previous clearinghouse. We receive timely notifications via email when enrollments are due, which makes keeping up with all of the insurance companies easier.

Cons

Waystar falls short in terms of customer service support. It just seems like the customer service representatives just want to close the case, not actually fix the problem. It's infuriating when they just decide to close a case without even checking to see if the problem has been resolved.

Switched from

[Availity](https://www.capterra.com/p/68854/Availity/)

We made the switch when we moved to eClinical Works, thinking it would be a seamless integration with bidirectional speak, but that was not the case.

Alternatives considered

[eClinicalWorks](https://www.capterra.com/p/120360/eClinicalWorks/)

Reasons for choosing Waystar

TRIZETTO WAS NOT AN OPTION - I don't recall, but eClinical Works, our EHR advised that both products were about the same. Evidently, we made the wrong decision

I love Waystar. We have the option to use another software, but I still prefer to use Waystar.

Pros

I love the ease of use and how quickly I receive results. It shows us when names are wrong, or when an insurance number has been entered incorrectly.

Cons

There are times when the system doesn't work but that rarely happens.

I love how convenient the software is to monitor payment plan declines and how easy it is to edit a payment plan.

Pros

I use the software multiple times a day. I love how convenient it is to take credit card payments and setup payment plans

Cons

Too many fields to fill out when the system recognizes the account number

I think overall I like Waystar and would recommend it to a facility that needs it. I think that it is nice to have the option to take payment easy for patients and be able to show them even the break down of a payment plan so easy.

Pros

The convivence of being able to take a patient's payment, it is super easy to set up patient payment plans, collect balances and even useful if needing to do over the phone. It allows me to attach to every visit which is super helpful and if a patient comes in more than once we can see that they are already on a payment plan and it helps a lot.

Cons

That it doesn't flow into Practice Management very well. I wish that if a payment was collected prior to the visit that it would flow into PM to make it more efficient.

Waystar traps medical providers into multi-year contracts with unfair terms, sneaky price hikes, and no ethical way to exit. If you sign up, be prepared for hidden fees, forced renewals, increased pricing, and an uphill battle if you ever try to leave. If you’re a practice owner, read the fine print carefully before signing with Waystar. There are better clearinghouse services out there that are more capable, affordable with seamless EHR integration that don’t rely on deception to keep customers. We originally signed a contract in 2015 with Navicure, which later became Waystar. The contract contained a 24-month auto-renewal clause, meaning if we didn’t cancel at least 90 days before renewal, we were locked in for another 2 years because they use a "go live date" instead of the signed contract date and considered us passed the 90 day window to cancel before auto renewal. In January 2025, we received only 60 days’ notice (not the required 90) that our prices would increase. The price increased from $115.43 to $365.43 per month—a greater than 200% increase, when the contract explicitly states that annual increases cannot exceed 5% unless justified by CPU-H inflation rates. They refused to allow early termination unless we paid out the full term upfront for services we wouldn’t even be able to use.

Pros

We had been customers for 10 years, back when it used to be Navicure. I can't believe this is how they treat long term customers.

Cons

🚨 Predatory Auto-Renewals: The contract renews for two years at a time, and they do not send proper reminders before you’re locked in again. 🚨 Unlawful Price Increases: They increased our rates without contractually required notice and far beyond what was allowed (over 200%) 🚨 No Way to Leave: They refuse to let clinics exit the contract early unless you pay the entire balance upfront—even if you’re not using the service. 🚨 Data Access Held Hostage: If you terminate, you instantly lose access to all claims and financial data unless you pay additional fees to reactivate.

After numerous attempts trying to get implemented, Waystar stopped responding when they finally did respond, they stated that what was discussed doesn’t really work in their software. The contract would need to be terminated and they would refund everything. Some times went by and they placed our company in collection. Customer service in non-existent with them as well.

Pros

They lied about their product, and didn’t deliver

Cons

Platform is not user friendly. They don’t deliver on their promise

I would pock waystar over some other verification sites as the ease of it.

Pros

I liked everything being easily accessible and able to be viewed and had most insurances

Cons

The thing i didnt like is you arent able to see if a patient has any active insurances without knowing what theyvhave
