What Is Recourse vs. Non-Recourse Patient Financing?
Recourse Patient Financing
- Risk to Provider:
In a recourse model, the healthcare provider remains financially liable if the patient defaults on their loan. This can lead to increased financial risk and administrative burden. - Limited Patient Coverage:
Often excludes patients with low credit scores, leaving a significant portion of your patient population without access to financing options. - Delayed Cash Flow:
Payments depend on the patient’s repayment schedule, which can lead to inconsistent revenue.
Non-Recourse Patient Financing
- Zero Financial Risk:
With non-recourse financing, the lender assumes all the risk. Your health system is not liable if a patient defaults. - Broad Patient Accessibility:
Approves 95%+ of patients, including those with lower credit scores, ensuring more patients can afford care. - Faster Revenue Realization:
Patient account is liquidated within 48 hours of the patient choosing to pay their account balance through their Curae patient financing account.
