Healthcare costs in the United States have been a major topic for decades now. According to a recent survey, 18% of the American population cannot afford to pay for medical services. This excludes those that do not have health insurance. With inflation affecting the economy, paying for medical services is becoming more difficult. These payment challenges may affect your medical practice.
Money should not create obstacles for your patients to receive the care and treatment they need and want. Now, medical professionals can offer patient financing solutions. You can provide your patients with access to quality, compassionate care they can afford. While many medical professionals such as dentists already offer financing, they usually only work with one financing provider. This can become an issue too. As a medical professional you need to understand that not all finance companies offer the same terms, the same rates or approve or deny applications the same way. Having two to three financing providers will help you obtain higher approval rates and the best terms for your patients.
Today, these are some of the medical practices that are benefiting from patient financing:
LASIK centers
Hearing aid businesses
Medical mobility and equipment
MedSpa and Elective Medical Procedures
Dental offices
A lack of cash on hand or a credit card should not prevent individuals from seeking out and receiving medical care from you. New financing solutions can provide care to your patients who otherwise might not have the resources to pay their bills upfront.
