Common Configurations

eXtended Care Program (XCP)

Reduce Bad Debt placements while engaging patients that have become unresponsive to your internal collection efforts. Our alternative strategy allows hospitals to screen for presumptive charity eligibility, send notifications of adjusted balances on qualified accounts, and escalate to agency engagement on non-qualifying accounts. The results: earlier payments without the high cost of bad debt and the associated damage to the patient-provider relationship.
