Patient Deals started in 2007 to target America’s uninsured adults and children who pay cash for health care, as well as the estimated 16 million Americans with high deductible or catastrophic insurance plans. By utilizing Patient Deals, health care providers will be able to fill vacant appointment spaces with cash paying patients while offering these patients discounts to reflect the cost savings from billing and collection services.
Several online resources are provided so patients can better understand their own medical needs. There are 47 million uninsured Americans, 16 million Health Savings Account holders, and the number is growing daily. Health insurance premiums for small businesses are skyrocketing, which is causing more and more small businesses to offer no health insurance or to switch over to Health Savings Accounts. With the hassles of medical billing, more and more doctors are going into cash-pay practices where they accept payment at the time of service – so this community driven website is a solution to provide the connection that they need to attract more of these cash-paying patients.
