Every day, hospitals provide care for patients who won’t be able to pay. Not because they’re unwilling — but because they’re uninsured, unaware of their options, or overwhelmed by the process.
Even with expanded coverage options under the ACA, millions of Americans remain uninsured. For hospitals, this doesn’t just mean lost revenue — it means missed opportunities to connect patients with affordable, often free, coverage they qualify for.
So why are so many patients still uninsured? And what can hospitals do about it?
🔍 The Problem: A Complex, Costly Coverage Gap
Here’s what’s happening:
- Many patients do qualify for Medicaid, ACA subsidies, or financial assistance programs — but they don’t know it.
- Others are willing to pay, but give up trying due to complex applications or lack of digital access.
- Hospitals often lack the tools to quickly engage and enroll patients before or during care.
- As a result, uninsured patients delay preventive care, use the ER as their primary access point, and accumulate medical debt they cannot pay.
“Uninsured patients aren’t given the dignity to afford their healthcare and are left vulnerable, unable to maintain a healthy life… while hospitals are often forced to write off potentially insurable claims.”
— RevOne MyCareCoverage Brochure, p. 2
💡 The Hidden Cost to Hospitals
When patients go without insurance, hospitals lose more than reimbursement:
- Bad debt and charity care climb — even when coverage might’ve been available
- Staff resources are drained trying to navigate manual or legacy enrollment processes
- Revenue cycle gaps widen, with preventable write-offs on the rise
And most importantly: patients miss the opportunity to access affordable coverage that could change their health — and their lives.
✅ The Opportunity: Digital, Patient-Friendly Coverage Tools
This is the gap MyCareCoverage (MCC) was built to close.
MCC is RevOne’s highest-performing platform because it bridges the disconnect between patients who need coverage and the systems that can deliver it. It allows hospitals to:
- Identify uninsured patients early
- Screen for Medicaid, ACA, Medicare, and financial assistance
- Help patients upload documents and enroll — right from their phone
- Recover previously lost revenue by turning uninsured bills into covered charges
- Give patients dignity, access, and financial peace of mind
“MyCareCoverage is a universal solution accessible by any device… offering a compassionate and streamlined process to secure affordable care.”
