The entrepreneurial spirit is alive and well in American medical businesses. A good example of this can be found in how the healthcare industry is leveraging medical accounts receivable to create investment capital. No, we are not talking about a start-up per se; it’s more about redirecting cash flow temporarily so that facilities can get the resources they need despite benefit payment delays and budget cuts.

Whether that translates to a lump sum for doctors to go into private practice or a segmented pay-out to update equipment, it depends on the needs of the institution. The good news is, much like freight factoring, the resource is there when facilities need it most.

A Game of Budgetary Limbo

Due to the urgent nature of care in a medical environment, waiting for traditional financial approval is ill-advised. Professional wisdom tells you to have a plan on the back burner. Medical accounts receivable can be that contingency; your other smart investment in this situation is Advance Funds Network (AFN).

AFN can take the pressure off of key players in the medical field. There are a lot of different facets to medical budgetary management. You may not have time to organize, compare, arrange and execute this kind of funding agreement with a third party. AFN can act as your go-between from start to finish. We will free up the resources you need for medical equipment financing and medical receivable financing/factoring.

Utilizing this strategy can get you out of limbo and into action much faster. This infusion of cash can:

• Help a medical or dental office get off the ground
• Fund a durable medical equipment supplier
• Establish relationships with vendors and lenders
• Reveal networking possibilities in the medical community
• Equipment and other peripheral purchases

People often forget there’s more to medicine than just keeping the doors open and lights on. The right backing allows you to make a difference in your community through outreach and education. When this balance is struck, your investment starts to come back to you.

The Long Awaited Return

Medical facilities need revenue to run; that much is obvious. They also need support from the local community to stay viable.

By putting some of the available funds toward community planning and research, you become a resource that is needed, utilized, and vital. That combination establishes your clinical longevity. Add to that your willingness to access and invest in cutting-edge equipment, and you’ve found the formula for service-oriented profit.

All of this is possible through leveraging medical accounts receivable? In truth, all of this and more. It’s up to you how you want to structure the budget. Let some of that innovative spirit out to plan and dream. You never know where it might take you or what advances you might discover.
