Objective
With patients responsible for an increasing amount of their healthcare costs, self-pay accounts are now the top contributor to bad debt for hospitals and health systems—accounting for more than $55 billion annually. A predictive model that could successfully support a propensity to pay strategy. The propensity to pay machine learning model uses artificial intelligence to predict the probability that the patient will pay their bill during the month
Outcome
The propensity to pay machine learning predictive model, in conjunction with propensity to pay strategy, allows the finance team to focus its collection efforts on patients who are more likely to pay. Resources are not allocated to collecting from patients that will either pay their balances without intervention or not pay their bills regardless of interventions
Business Value
