Medical receivables are simply defined as payments owed to health care providers and manufacturing companies by insurance companies, Medicare, or Medicaid. Medical receivables factoring (also called accounts receivable financing) allows you, the payee, to receive immediate cash for billings to 3rd-party payers. These 3rd-party payers include insurance companies such as, Blue Cross/Blue Shield and PPO's, as well as government agencies like Medicare and Medicaid. 

Factoring helps you to maintain proper cash flow to keep up your high level of care, meet payroll, make mortgage or rent payments, expand your business, etc. This more stable cash flow helps you to deal with the uncertainty and delays that are frequently associated with receiving payments from insurance companies and government agencies. Seascape Capital will always facilitate your medical receivables factoring in a professional and courteous manner.

Basically, factoring involves us paying you within 48 hours of you sending out a batch of invoices. You would receive a certain amount of that invoice up front (typically 75-85%) and the remainder when the invoice is paid, less the fee that we have agreed upon. Factoring is available for almost any size of company but is typically most cost effective for those companies billing out at least $100,000 per month or, if smaller, in a high growth mode.

Whether you are a doctor or administrator of a hospital, small clinic, durable medical equipment (DME) supplier, or other medical-related facility, we can assist you. You're probably already aware that repayments to companies like yours in the medical industry can often take anywhere from 30-120 days.

The Process While the process will vary based on individual circumstances, a "typical" process after our initial discussion entails: 1) You submit an application, and we (the investor's underwriter, you, and us) then teleconference to review your situation, answer questions, etc. 2) We conduct our due diligence, which includes a review of your documentation and sometimes a visit to your office. This is the most time consuming part of the process and generally takes 3-4 weeks. 3) You receive an advance of, typically, 75-85% of the net value of your accounts receivable. 4) Your payers send their bill payments to a lockbox established just for this account. As payments are received, you are reimbursed the remaining amount less the agreed upon fees. You continue to receive advance cash on your receivables on a weekly or monthly basis.
