Identifying Opportunities to Reduce Medical Debt for Communities
Helping cities, hospitals, and community partners evaluate the benefits inherent in improved hospital practices.
Led by a former hospital attorney and hospital revenue cycle specialist with more than 30 years of industry experience.
Hospitals already offer financial assistance, but the reach of these programs varies widely. In many instances, adjustments to seemingly standard practices can significantly enhance affordability and reduce levels of medical debt.
We understand hospital pricing, and the impact of specific practices on affordability and medical debt. In addition, we have reviewed the measures in place at roughly 3,000 hospitals across the nation in order to determine utilization levels and the effectiveness of various practices. With that experience, we work with community leaders in pursuing pricing and charity care approaches that promote affordability and healthier local economies.
