Provider Profile

Central Ohio
257 Physicians
222 Beds
$210M Net Patient Revenue

Challenges

More patients with higher co-pays and deductibles opted for payment arrangements
Staff spent an inordinate amount of time, 20 hours/month, following up on those accounts, which made up 43% of total self-pay A/R
Maintaining internal payment arrangements was no longer cost effective

Solutions

The hospital brainstormed with HELP and its EBO to formulate a solution that would benefit its patient population
HELP proposed a new process that involved funding and monitoring existing accounts
New patients can choose between a plan with 0% interest for one year or a longer plan with 8% interest

Results

By granting more than 900 loans, within four months, HELP reduced the hospital's A/R by $724,719
HELP generated $630,506 in additional revenue for the hospital in the first four months of the new program
The hospital has been able to reduce the amount of time staff spend on payment arrangements from 120 to 45 hours per month

2 Hospitals
26 Physician Clinics
$970M Net Patient Revenue

Challenges

19% of the hospital A/R was self-pay, and 30% of self-pay was older than six months
Patients were given six months to pay in full with minimum payments of $100 per month
The provider did not have a patient financing provider to recommend to self-pay customers, so they were forced to find a loan or face collections

Solutions

The provider offered 18 months of interest-fee payments, followed by a trailing interest rate of 8%
With HELP Financial's services, patients' loan application process was simplified

Results

Rate of self-pay hospital A/R dropped by 8%, and self-pay greater than six months decreased by 10%
To date, HELP has funded upfront $14.2 million in new accounts with a 4.1% recourse rate
