Patients Are Struggling to Pay Their Healthcare Expenses

As the average annual deductible rises ($3,655 in 2021), nearly 1 in 4 Americans are skipping medical care because of the cost. Many studies show the average American can’t afford a $300 medical expense.

Healthcare organizations are pivoting their financial engagement strategies to offer various affordability options to make healthcare payments less stressful for the average American.
