Abstract
While insurance is the most common form of payment for healthcare services,
increasingly customers are paying for their own expenses. Pharmaceutical,
device and diagnostic companies, should recognize that a part of their
revenues are originating directly or indirectly from out of pocket
expenditures.
Health care costs are high and accelerating as a result of a confluence of
factors within the broader economy, as well as the health care marketplace.
Unique financial services have been created to facilitate non-insurance-paid
health care services, and more are expected to be created in the near term.
