Why This Role Exists At Phreesia, we're transforming the healthcare experience through intelligent technology that helps patients connect with care more easily and helps providers operate more efficiently.  For over 20 years, we’ve built solutions that make healthcare simpler for patients and organizations from scheduling and registration to payments and patient management.

Through our AccessOne financing platform we help patients manage medical expenses through access to affordable payment plans with zero or low-interest rates that don’t harm their credit. Regardless of credit history, we want all patients to qualify for our program and have access to the same non-discriminatory payment terms.
