Most provider payments are still a check and a phone call

Checks get lost, float sits with a vendor instead of earning for you, and the remittance travels separately from the money.

What Lemma runs for you

Four things a payer stops doing by hand.

Every rail, one API

Healthcare-compliant payments

Every payment carries a trace number and full addenda, and the 835 lands in the provider's portal, matched to the payment.

We onboard the providers

Lemma signs up providers, verifies bank details and W-9s, and moves check payees to EFT while checks are still in flight.

Frequently asked questions

Which rails do you support?

ACH, RTP, FedNow, printed and mailed checks, and virtual cards, all from one API or a file upload.

How does the 835 get to the provider?

Digitally, to the provider's HIPAA-compliant Lemma portal, matched by trace number. Or printed and mailed with the check.

Do we have to pre-fund?

No. Funds stay in your own Lemma account until each payment is sent, insured and earning interest.

Who collects provider bank details?

Lemma does. We invite providers, verify bank details, collect W-9s, and keep them current.

What happens to checks that never get cashed?

Lemma runs outreach, offers EFT enrollment, and reissues when needed. You see the status of every check.

Can we integrate this into our claims system?

Yes. Every rail and status is available through the Lemma API, with webhooks for state changes.

Replace the check run

Every provider, every rail, every 835, from your own account.
