Is Our Patient Financing Plan Right for You?
Mr. H., an ASC owner in South Florida, had a problem:
Low cash fl ow. Many of the patients treated at his facility had
insuffi cient or no insurance at all, resulting in an increase in:
• Letters of Protection (LOPs) and Medical Liens cases
• Contested No-Fault Insurance Receivables
In some cases, he was waiting years to receive reimbursement.
"These cases were literally killing my business's cash fl ow,"
so he decided to partner with Echelon Medical Capital,
among the largest medical receivable funding companies in
the country. Echelon assigns value to each case, immediately
funds the medical provider, and gets paid back when the case
settles or the claim is paid. Echelon advanced cash to the
center for its out of network insurance claims as well. The cash
fl ow needs of Mr. H were solved for good.
