The Healthcare Debt Challenge#

Healthcare businesses face unique financial pressures that other industries don't experience. Between expensive medical equipment, insurance reimbursement delays, regulatory compliance costs, and staffing challenges, medical practices often find themselves struggling with overwhelming debt.

The average healthcare business carries $275,000 in debt, with many practices juggling equipment financing, working capital loans, and emergency MCAs taken to cover cash flow gaps.

Common Healthcare Debt Issues#

Healthcare businesses typically struggle with these specific debt challenges.

  • Medical equipment financing for diagnostic and treatment equipment
  • Insurance reimbursement delays creating cash flow gaps
  • Staffing costs and recruitment expenses
  • Regulatory compliance and certification costs
  • Electronic health record (EHR) system financing
  • Practice acquisition or expansion debt
  • Emergency MCAs to cover payroll during slow periods

Healthcare-Specific Relief Strategies#

Medical practices need specialized debt relief approaches that account for their unique revenue cycles and regulatory requirements.

Insurance-aligned payment restructuring matches debt payments to reimbursement schedules. Equipment refinancing reduces monthly obligations on medical equipment. Staffing cost optimization without compromising patient care. MCA settlement eliminates high-cost emergency financing. Revenue cycle management improvement to accelerate collections.

Case Study: Dental Practice#

A dental practice in Arizona came to us with $385,000 in debt including equipment financing of $165,000, two MCAs totaling $120,000, and working capital debt of $100,000. Insurance delays had created a severe cash flow crisis.

We restructured equipment financing to reduce payments by 30%, settled both MCAs for $42,000 total, and implemented revenue cycle improvements that accelerated insurance collections by 18 days. The practice is now profitable and expanding.
