A Case Study: Can a Patient Financing Program Have a Positive Impact for Rural Healthcare Providers?

Wednesday, Nov 16, 2:00 – 3:00 pm CST

In an era of high-deductible health plans, even insured patients may have a hard time meeting their financial obligations. Both traditional self-pay patients and insured patients with large out-of-pocket balances risk going into bad debt if they do not have patient-friendly options for paying their medical bills. Healthcare providers have had success by engaging with a partner to offer flexible low or no-interest payment plans that give patients options that meet their current needs and help reduce the financial stress that medical expenses often create. Join this session and hear how Tahoe Forest Hospital District and Cameron Memorial Community Hospital successfully leveraged services.
