For Hospitals & Health Systems

Make your mission visible in the patient experience.

Help people find assistance through a guided, respectful experience. AffordPath is designed to support your financial-counseling team with consistent screening, documented review and clearer communication under your assistance policy.

For Providers

Better outcomes. Less burden.

Using your current patient financial assistance policies, AffordPath works alongside your existing revenue cycle workflows — a consumer-driven platform that efficiently determines financial assistance qualification, automates communications and documentation, and expedites patient account resolution by presenting a customized payment solution that your patient can likely afford to pay.

  • Increase charity care allocation
  • Reduce administrative workload
  • Improve receivables and cash flow
  • Enhance the patient experience

Reallocate bad debt to charity care without adding friction to staff and existing operations.

Patients who already qualify for assistance are identified before their balance becomes a write-off — so the dollars move from bad debt into documented community benefit, and your counselors do not absorb another manual step.

The Challenge

Consistent, compliant charity care is hard to operationalize

Manual screening is uneven, eligible patients slip through, and proving compliance consumes staff time. AffordPath makes the right outcome the default.

More of your charity care reaches the people it was meant for

Patients who already qualify are identified and documented instead of being written off as bad debt — so the assistance you have budgeted is actually allocated to eligible patients, and recorded where it counts.

Support for policy documentation

Designed to help document screening inputs, policy application and follow-up. The hospital remains responsible for its financial-assistance obligations.

Review against applicable requirements

Assistance requirements vary. The review should identify the applicable jurisdiction, policy version and income definition, with exceptions routed for further review.

Your brand, front and center

Fully white-labeled — your logo, colors, and voice across every screen, on your portal or a standalone link.

What You Get

Built for revenue cycle & financial counseling

  • Consistent, rules-based charity-care determinations across every entry point
  • Configurable assistance policy — set your own FPL bands and discount tiers
  • Built-in federal, state, and territory rule sets, applied automatically and kept current for you
  • Fewer eligible patients missed — guided screening catches those who would never finish a paper application
  • Audit-ready logging of inputs, rules, and outcomes for every patient
  • Integration-ready for your portal, EHR, and billing workflows (Phase 2)

"The right outcome should be the easy outcome."

AffordPath is designed so that screening every patient consistently — and proving it — takes less staff effort than the manual process it replaces.

Early-Adopter Programs

A pilot designed around your organization

Discuss a defined charity-care affordability workflow, implementation responsibilities and measures of success. Scope, timing, pricing and exposure limits are subject to written agreement and authorized approval; no pricing or outcome is guaranteed by this page.

Define the pilot

Agree on the workflow, responsibilities and readiness requirements before any patient data is exchanged. Implementation timing depends on the approved scope.

Agree on commercial terms

Pricing and any phased structure are established in an approved written proposal. This overview is not an offer of free services or a commitment to a specific fee model.

Document the review

Define the records needed to support your assistance policy and compliance review. The hospital or program retains responsibility for its decisions and obligations.

Built for the Rules You Answer To

Aligned with regulators & patient protections

Attorneys general, hospital-oversight bodies, and consumer-protection agencies are actively raising the bar on medical-debt and charity-care obligations. AffordPath is the infrastructure that helps you meet — and exceed — them, while making sure more patients get the assistance the law already entitles them to.

  • Operationalizes IRS 501(r) reasonable-efforts and AGB requirements automatically
  • Applies state- and territory-specific medical-debt protections where each patient is served
  • A neutral advocate for the patient — resolving balances through assistance, never by selling debt
  • Audit-ready record of inputs, rules, and outcomes for every determination

Affordability review, not debt purchasing.

AffordPath's proposed annual charity-care affordability review is designed to support people across the continuum of care. Program scope and commercial terms are agreed separately; the provider retains the assistance decision.
