DOTmed’s article, Open enrollment ended. The coverage crisis didn’t feature Matthew Fisher, Vice President of Operations at Curae, and highlights a growing issue for health systems: the affordability crisis does not end when open enrollment closes. Patients may still have coverage, but many remain financially exposed due to high deductibles, rising premiums, and higher out-of-pocket costs.
Matthew points to a broader market shift toward affordability risk through underinsurance, especially as more patients move into high-deductible plans. That creates pressure on both patients and providers, with delayed care, weaker collections, and increased risk of uncompensated care.
This is where Curae delivers value. Through insurance discovery, enrollment support, patient sponsorship, and broader patient financial access solutions, Curae helps health systems preserve coverage, reduce financial friction, improve patient access, and strengthen financial performance.
