What Medfinancial does

Medfinancial, LLC is a Knoxville, Tennessee-based patient financing and revenue cycle management company that operates the We Care Patient Payment Program, a non-credit-based patient financing product that offers 100% applicant approval (no credit check) with 12-60 month repayment terms and 0% APR options for balances of $500-$15,000. The company serves healthcare providers — primarily hospitals and health systems — by purchasing their outstanding patient balances upfront, providing the providers immediate cash flow while Medfinancial assumes and manages ongoing patient repayment. Supporting offerings include Self-Pay Management and Early-Out Services for revenue cycle teams, alongside a digital billing portal (PersonaPay-based) and AutoPay enrollment that allow patients to self-serve payments.

The technical stack centers on a patient payment processing platform with state-of-the-art call center infrastructure (100% call recording) and integrated voice/internet applications, backed by FISMA/NIST, HIPAA, and PCI DSS compliant IT infrastructure that handles both protected health information and payment card data. ICheckGateway provides ACH/payment processing, while PersonaPay powers the patient-facing billing portal. As an affiliate of Edfinancial Services — a loan originator/servicer with 35+ years of experience and $22B in managed loans across providers, nonprofits, and the U.S. Department of Education — Medfinancial benefits from shared capital, regulatory, and servicing infrastructure.

Medfinancial operates a B2B2C distribution model: it does not sell directly to consumers but rather recruits healthcare providers as channel partners (typically through field sales and HFMA conference engagement) who then present the We Care program to patients at the point of service. The company monetizes via provider service fees on balance purchases plus ongoing servicing of the resulting patient loan portfolio, with reported collections exceeding 95% on payment arrangements and a 97% patient satisfaction rate. The customer footprint is U.S.-domestic, with active field presence across the Southeast evidenced by 2026 HFMA conference participation in NC, SC, GA, FL, and VA.

Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• Wellbe Financial: Healthcare-focused patient financing company offering installment plans for medical bills. Competes directly with Medfinancial's We Care program on affordability and no-credit-check positioning.
• Curae: Emerging patient financing and digital billing platform for healthcare providers. Targets the same self-pay pain point with a more digital-native UX; partial overlap and a credible challenger as it scales provider partnerships.

Direct peers

• AccessOne: Healthcare patient financing platform offering non-credit-based and credit-based payment plans to hospitals and health systems. Closely comparable business model (B2B2C, provider-funded receivables, 0% APR options) and a frequent head-to-head competitor in Medfinancial's hospital channel.
• PatientFi: Patient financing platform specializing in elective and specialty care with monthly payment plans. Comparable in offering installment financing through provider partnerships, although PatientFi skews more toward cosmetic/specialty procedures versus Medfinancial's hospital self-pay focus.
• CareCredit (Synchrony Financial): Synchrony's healthcare-focused patient financing brand and the largest dedicated medical POS financing platform in the US. Directly competes with Medfinancial's We Care program for hospital and health system wallet share, though CareCredit uses a credit-card model rather than non-credit underwriting.
• ClearBalance Healthcare: Patient balance financing and revenue cycle management provider serving hospitals and health systems with extended-term payment plans. Operates a near-identical value proposition (provider cash flow, patient affordability) and competes in the same RFPs.

Broad incumbents

• VisitPay (Waystar): Waystar's patient billing and financing module (formerly VisitPay) competes in the same provider revenue cycle space. A broader RCM incumbent whose patient financing capabilities overlap with Medfinancial's self-pay and early-out services.
• PayPal Credit: General-purpose consumer credit line used by some healthcare providers as a POS financing option. Not healthcare-specialized but competes for the same patient financing wallet, particularly where providers want a recognized consumer brand.
• Cedar: Healthcare patient billing, engagement, and payments platform used by large providers. Adjacent rather than identical; Cedar offers the digital billing/financial engagement layer that Medfinancial's PersonaPay portal competes with and that hospitals may pair with or instead of patient financing.
• Flywire: Public, vertically diversified payments platform with a healthcare arm serving providers, payers, and patients. Broader than Medfinancial but overlaps on patient payment plans and provider receivables workflows at large health systems.
