Introduction

The increased cost of providing medical care has prompted many health plans and their members to adopt plan designs which increase the financial burden on the member. The U.S. government predicts that consumer out-of-pocket health care expenses will reach an average of $3,301 a year for each household by 2014 from $2,500 in 2009.

Health Payment Advocates (HPA) is a financial advocacy company dedicated to resolving problems and confusion surrounding the “patient portion” of medical bills.   HPA services can help a member reduce their out-of-pocket medical expenses either through a discount on their medical bill or the implementation of a payment plan.

 

“A greater confidence that my insurance company is doing its best for the patient; is aware of and respectful of how high costs can be; that sometimes unnecessary things do get done and need to be reviewed; respects the drain that medical costs can have on people.”
