TempoPay, a flexible payment solution that helps bridge the affordability gap in health care, and Bellevue, Washington-based Healthcare Management Administrators (HMA), a leading third‑party administrator that designs and manages self-funded health plans, announced a partnership to offer TempoPay's core healthcare payments program to HMA's customers.

As healthcare costs continue to climb, higher out‑of‑pocket expenses are creating meaningful financial strain for individuals and families nationwide. As employers seek new ways to support employees while keeping costs manageable for the organization, the partnership between HMA and TempoPay provides a powerful solution.

TempoPay delivers a cost‑effective solution for employers while giving employees access to interest‑free funds and simplified payments, removing financial friction so they can say yes to care with confidence.

"At HMA, we are constantly seeking innovative solutions that strengthen the value we deliver to self-funded employers and their members," said Tina Stone, Director of Product and Marketing "Our partnership with TempoPay expands access to flexible healthcare financing options, helping members better manage out-of-pocket expenses while supporting employers' goals around affordability, engagement, and overall plan performance. This collaboration reflects HMA's commitment to delivering practical, forward-thinking solutions that improve both financial wellbeing and healthcare outcomes."

TempoPay provides employees with the ability to pay their healthcare bills over time without interest, fees, or credit checks. TempoPay's core healthcare financing program covers spending on medical, pharmacy, dental, and vision expenses. HMA's employer customers can configure the program design for their employees, including the option to add interest-free financing for pet care to offer a well-rounded approach to easing care costs for the whole family.

Other key features of the program include:

Simple to Launch: Employers can select their program and onboard their employees quickly, with most ready to launch within 2 weeks.
Simple to Use: Once live, employees can sign up anytime to receive a TempoPay Visa^® card to pay for care and set interest-free payment schedules that fit their budgets.
No credit or financial check, interest charges or fees to employees.

"Out-of-pocket costs prevent too many people from getting the care they need when they need it. That is exactly the problem we're here to solve," said Tom Policelli, CEO of HPS/PayMedix, the parent company of TempoPay. "Working with HMA expands access funds when they're needed and gives people a simple way to repay over time, so they can move forward with care without added financial strain."
