Founded and led by CEO Brian Whorley, the company is based in Columbia, MO. It serves over 23 million members and partners with nearly 7,000 employers, insurers and providers.

Paytient offers Health Payment Accounts (HPAs), a sponsored benefit that gives members access to interest-free credit through a Paytient Visa card and an app to manage and organize healthcare spending. Members activate the card with no credit check; when used, Paytient pays providers in full and members set flexible, interest-free repayment plans funded by payroll deduction, a bank account, or HSA/FSA accounts. Card sponsors are not responsible for unpaid balances.
