Medical Accounts Receivable Financing

Providing Medical Financial Services Nationwide.

What is Medical Accounts Receivable Financing? Medical receivable financing is a means by which the healthcare provider is granted an asset based credit line that is based on the net realized value for his/her billings to third-party payors (i.e. commercial insurance companies, HMO’s, Blue Cross-Blue Shield, Medicare and Medicaid).

For medical providers that have accounts receivable with a net realized value (NRV) of $500,000 or less, we offer our medical factoring program which is a funding program that purchases your billings (net realized value) at a discount. Clients that exceed $500,000 in accounts receivable (NRV) and meet our criteria for financing will be proposed an asset based receivable financing program that is priced at a prime plus schedule.

1st Commercial Credit provides medical receivable funding for two types of medical provider clients. If you are a Medical staffing agency invoicing to a commercial account (i.e. Hospitals, Nursing Homes, etc.) please go to this web page " Medical Staffing Finance".

1st Commercial Credit realizes that a successful health care practice depends as much upon effective financial management as it does on quality care. For this reason, an increasing number of health care providers are looking for finance companies that can help them handle their cash flow requirements. 1st Commercial Credit can facilitate financial funding of medical receivables and has a well seasoned staff that was created specifically to handle this unique financial niche.

The long delay between the time you perform a medical service and the time you are ultimately paid, coupled with a bureaucratic and very cumbersome third-party billing structure has resulted in diminishing your business cash flow. Our mission is to provide capital to a nationwide network of healthcare providers including, but not limited to sole practice physicians, group practice physicians, nursing homes, hospitals, home healthcare companies, rehabilitation -physical therapy companies, durable medical equipment providers, MRI, radiology centers, ambulance service providers and laboratories. While many industries are very familiar with the use of accounts receivable financing to improve the consistency of their cash flow and increase their bottom line, the overwhelming majority of health care providers have never heard about this service, and do not realize what accounts receivable financing can do for them.

Mainstream Accounts Receivable

The "mainstream" types of accounts receivable that we will consider for funding are accounts receivable which are generated by a healthcare service company and are due from third party payors which include the following payor categories: Medicare, Medicaid, Commercial Insurance, Private Insurance, HMO/PPO, and Managed Care. The average time to collections for most of the Accounts Receivable that we fund range from 90 - 150 days (we will also consider receivables which collect in longer time periods).

Accounts Receivable Which Are Non-Mainstream, But Are Acceptable:

We will also consider funding accounts receivable whereby the payors are actually healthcare facilities themselves, such as a nursing home or a hospital, whereby the healthcare provider client is contracting to provide its services to the healthcare facility. Other types of accounts receivable that we will consider funding on a case by case basis may include the following: non-litigation worker's compensation. Request a proposal online

Accounts Receivable Which Are Not Acceptable:

We presently do not fund accounts receivable that are owed by patients directly (also known as self-pay). In addition, we do not fund certain types of longer turning worker's compensation, personal injury, or no-fault accounts receivable.

Nurse Registry (Medical) Temp Staffing Receivables Factoring:

We currently can establish factoring programs for temporary employment staffing agencies for as little as $5,000 to 10 million a month volume. Temp-Staffing businesses generate commercial receivables and fall under our commercial receivables program so long as the receivables are not owed by Medicare, Medicaid or individuals.

Hi,

Medical accounts receivable typically are the largest asset on their balance sheet. It typically takes 60 to 120 days or more to collect medical accounts receivable because of the long reimbursement process from third party payors, such as Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial insurance companies.
