CarePayment Adds New Partners Across the United States

330,000 new patients have enrolled in the company’s no-interest payment programs in the first half of 2018

NASHVILLE, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- CarePayment, a leading patient financial engagement company that offers affordable payment programs to patients who need help paying medical expenses, is expanding its reach throughout the U.S. by partnering with several new health systems in states including Washington, Alabama, Michigan, New York and Ohio. Through these partnerships and others, CarePayment is expecting a more than 130% increase in new patients served in 2018.

“In addition to providing patients with the highest quality of care, our partners are committed to supporting their patients’ financial health by offering payment plans to reduce the burden of rising out-of-pocket costs,” said Craig Hodges, chief executive officer of CarePayment. “An estimated one-third of patients delay needed medical care due to costs, risking their health and likely higher bills down the road. We are proud to offer an easy-to-understand solution that allows patients to seek the care they need, when they need it.”

CarePayment’s newest partners include one of the nation’s largest and most comprehensive academic integrated healthcare systems, one of the nation’s most well respected biomedical research centers, and several regional systems known for their innovation and integrated care models. With these additions, CarePayment now offers the CarePayment program through provider partners in 31 states.

CarePayment partners with healthcare providers throughout the U.S. to provide no-interest payment programs to patients with no risk to their credit. Participation in its programs is voluntary, and can be offered to patients at any time before, during or after clinical care to ensure any patient who needs help paying their bills has the option to use CarePayment. Once enrolled in a payment program, the patient receives affordable payment terms and new balances can be added as needed. Patients receive easy-to-understand, co-branded communication and materials and can pay their bills securely online, by phone or by mail and may also choose to enroll in automatic payments.
