BILLING & PAYMENTS

Get paid in days, not months — smart claims and M-Pesa collection for African healthcare

Clinics in South Sudan face 12-18% claim denials, manual M-Pesa reconciliation, and months waiting for reimbursement. TamamHealth's billing engine cuts denials to under 5%, automates mobile money collection, and accelerates cash flow — with zero error-prone paperwork.

Before TamamHealth, we spent 3 days a month manually reconciling M-Pesa payments against patient bills. Now it's automatic. We've cut claim denials from 14% to 3%, collections went up 38%, and our Days Sales Outstanding dropped from 35 days to 12 days. The system basically paid for itself in the first month.
