Description

Product Description:
Concern about paying healthcare bills can leave healthcare consumers and your finances hanging in the balance. Health systems use the consumer-friendly ClearBalance® patient financing program to ease patients’ fears about out-of-pocket medical costs by providing affordable payment options and reassurance before, during and after their care episode. Our unmatched 30 years’ worth of knowledge related to patient payment behavior and our track record for forecasting and providing funding strategies significantly improve critical revenue cycle metrics. ClearBalance patient financing positions your health system as the preferred choice the next time your patients or a family member needs care.
About ClearBalance:
ClearBalance is committed to helping people afford the care they need to lead healthy, happy lives. The healthcare industry will continue to evolve. So they must think, act and lead differently if they are to provide their clients and patients with loan programs that make sense. At all times they will act in an honest, fair and compassionate manner.
Product Description:

For hospitals, it is 4x harder to collect from patients than insurance payers. Patients now make up to 30% of hospital revenue but are 4x harder to collect from than insurance payers1 due to complexity, regulation and patient means.
