There’s no such thing as a ‘one-size-fits-all’ patient engagement strategy. Healthcare executives should beware—using conventional scoring tools to predict how patients will engage with and pay their healthcare bills is not an effective strategy.

More patients are displaying consumer behaviors in how they seek, access, and pay for healthcare. However, paying for healthcare is fundamentally different than purchasing other high-ticket consumer goods.

In this white paper, we’ll explore how using a healthcare-based propensity scoring model can better predict how patients will engage with and pay their healthcare bills.

What's Inside:

  • Learn why conventional propensity-to-pay scoring is a poor fit for healthcare
  • Understand how to make the most of healthcare-based propensity scoring models
  • Gain insight into what healthcare providers should look for instead
  • Gain insights into other strategies healthcare providers can implement

Over the last few years, an estimated 48 million people1 in the U.S. (under the age of 65) have lost their jobs. This spike in unemployment caused many people to lose employer-provided health insurance as well.

About 20% were insured through their employer and more than 30% had coverage through Medicaid, CHIP, or another family member’s job.

While millions of these individuals and families are expected to remain uninsured, many will enroll in ACA, secure coverage through a new employer, or become eligible for Medicaid or other public programs.

Although the pandemic has prompted many healthcare organizations to acknowledge the essential role that their workforce has in providing high-quality and safe care, efforts to promote physician well-being are often still too inadequate.
