Assort Health Launches Digital Intake and Payments for Patients

Assort Health announced Tuesday the addition of digital intake and payments capabilities to its patient journey platform, timed to coincide with the opening of athenahealth's THRIVE Summit 2026 in San Francisco. The new features are designed to extend the contextual information Assort's AI agents carry throughout a patient's full care experience.

The expansion connects each stage of a patient encounter — from initial contact and intake through the clinical visit and final billing — into a single continuous workflow. By folding intake forms and payment processing into the same platform, the company aims to reduce friction at two of the most administratively burdensome points in the patient experience.

The timing of the launch at athenahealth's annual THRIVE Summit signals Assort Health's intent to align closely with the athenahealth ecosystem, potentially reaching the large base of healthcare providers that use athenahealth's practice management and electronic health record software.
