Receivables financing continues to evolve.
It's not known how many hospitals are selling their receivables for cash, but the potential market is enormous. Providers will charge more than $800 billion for healthcare services this year. At any one time, the nation's hospitals are awaiting payment on $14 billion in receivables. Many say hospitals would be better off attempting to improve their own billing and collection systems; others are more than sold on the programs.
