Frequently Asked Questions
I’ve signed up for my HintOS account, what are the next steps?
A. Once the initial onboarding form has been completed, you will receive two emails: one to create your account login and a second one to schedule time with our Customer Success team to review your account configurations and go through training.
B. If you have an existing practice and need data migration, our Customer Success team will work with you to get your data migrated into your HintOS account free of charge.
C. If you or your staff need additional training or have any questions about your account, please feel free to contact support@hint.com.
Can I upgrade my account to a different HintOS plan after getting started?
Yes, you can contact support@hint.com to upgrade your account at any point.
Can HintOS support hybrid model practices?
Yes. Many hybrid practices use Hint to power the DPC side of their practice, but another solution will be needed to handle insurance claims.
Is there an app that can be downloaded for Hint?
HintOS is a cloud-based platform that can be accessed from an internet browser on any device with internet access; there is no mobile app.
Is there a patient portal?
There is not a patient portal as we want to ensure practices are aware of changes made to memberships and have the opportunity to discuss changes with the member.
Can a member update their information?
A member can update their payment information from the email notifications they receive. They can also make a payment on an invoice from the upcoming membership invoice or one-off invoice email notifications. If a member needs to update their personal information, they should reach out to your practice.
Where can I learn more about how integrations work?
When does billing for HintOS start?
For new practices, we offer a free pre-enroll period to allow you to configure your account and get members signed up prior to your launch. We will not start billing until your launch date.
For existing practices, billing will start once the account has been configured and any data migration has been completed.
Is there a merchant processor in the platform?
Stripe is integrated into the platform.
Can any other payment processors be integrated?
Not at this time, but we do plan to enable additional payment gateways in the future.
Does the patient's payment information get stored on file?
It depends on whether or not a patient is signing up for a membership or one time visit.
If a patient enrolls for a membership online, payment information will be collected and stored securely with Stripe during enrollment. Additionally, upon entering their payment information, they will see the following notice of authorization:
“By submitting your account information, you authorize
If a patient is not a member and is only signing up for a one-time visit through online enrollment, their payment will be collected upfront, but their payment information will not be stored. If this patient would like to keep payment information on file, they can be sent a request through the platform.
Is HintOS HIPAA-compliant?
Yes.
