In a recent press release, Aquina Health announced the launch of Curae to provide non-recourse-based financing for patients.
Arising out of an industry that has seen patient responsibility costs continue to rise significantly each year, Curae provides immediate funding to patients, with payment made to the healthcare provider within 48 hours. While aimed directly at the patient, the service is tailored to the provider, with customizable options to co-brand with specific partners.
“The patient portion of healthcare costs have risen significantly faster than the growth rate of medical expenses,” says Mark Starr, Executive Vice President of Curae. “As this burden lays squarely at the bedside of the patient, Curae’s finance solutions help patients get the care they deserve at the time they most need it.”
Unlike other healthcare finance offerings, Curae’s solutions are also available to patients with less than optimal credit scores, who may be most vulnerable to rising patient responsibility costs. This full spectrum approach offers providers a one-stop financing partner to provide funding to their entire patient base, allowing them to focus on delivering exceptional healthcare services.
