  • Publication number: 20110202477
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for outsourcing healthcare patient billing, thereby significantly reducing the billing and collections burden for healthcare providers, and simplifying the payment process for patients. Patients subscribe to a healthcare funding club, and establish one or more funding sources, such as an unsecured loan, a credit card, a pre-funded escrow account, a tax preferred funding account, and/or direct checking account withdrawal. Healthcare providers are paid at least a patient-responsible portion by the club, and the club obtains reimbursement from the funding source(s). The insurance portion of an insurance-covered service can be obtained by the healthcare provider, the healthcare club, or the patient. Branding can be included that is uniform across healthcare providers, and/or specific to each healthcare provider. A healthcare club card can be provided to the patient and used to pay for healthcare services, and consolidated, periodic healthcare expense statements can be provided to patients.
