Cutting Oncology Bad Debt by 70%: A Qualify Philanthropic Success Story

A large Mid-Atlantic community hospital with a high-volume oncology program partnered with Elevate Patient Financial Solutions® to address more than $1 million in annual bad debt driven by patients' inability to afford treatment. By implementing Qualify Philanthropic, the hospital used retroactive and real-time matching to connect patients with foundation assistance, copay support, manufacturer-sponsored programs, and free drug programs, while ElevatePFS managed the application process from submission to payment tracking.
