Sphere, the leading provider of end-to-end integrated payments and security, welcomes new partner Dr. Leonardo Interactive Web Services.

Through this strategic partnership, Dr. Leonardo will offer healthcare providers websites for their practices that can integrate with Sphere’s online payment functionality. This allows patients to pay outstanding medical bills, such as deductibles and copays, in a secure and convenient way.

Pew Internet Research studies indicate that 81% of Americans search for individual healthcare providers online, with many of them seeking to make payment for outstanding medical bills using their credit cards. Dr. Leonardo’s eHealth Internet Presence platform allows doctors to create a personal PROVIDER-Site™ with appointment scheduling, patient portal access, education materials and now, online bill payment using Sphere’s secure technology.
