Rural Hospital Gold Partner

Strengthening Rural Hospital Sustainability Through Automated Copay Assistance

Vector Health helps rural hospitals recover unpaid patient balances by connecting patients to more than 2,000 nonprofit copay and medical assistance programs. Through automated matching and low-lift EHR integration, hospitals recover revenue they otherwise lose — while patients receive help affording essential care close to home.

What We Do

Automated Copay Assistance for Rural Facilities

Vector Health screens patients with unpaid balances against thousands of nonprofit programs, completes documentation, and recovers payments directly for the hospital.
No new staff. No manual searches. No additional burden on business office teams.

Reduce Bad Debt + Improve Patient Affordability

Rural hospitals face rising charity-care costs and limited staff capacity. Vector Health automates more than 90% of the process traditionally required to secure patient assistance, helping hospitals recover real revenue while easing financial stress for patients.

Designed for Rural Workflows

  • Contingency-based model — hospitals only pay when funds are recovered
  • Seamless integration into existing EHR/RCM workflows
  • Low-volume, low-staff facilities supported without added overhead
  • Rural-specific reporting and monthly support meetings

Rural Challenges We Address

  • High levels of self-pay and underinsured patients
  • Limited revenue-cycle staffing capacity
  • Difficulty navigating thousands of nonprofit and manufacturer programs
  • Rising charity-care write-offs and shrinking operating margins

Vector Health fills the staffing and time gaps rural hospitals face daily.

  • Critical Access Hospitals typically recover $40K–$100K annually
  • Larger rural systems recover $250K–$500K annually
  • Hundreds of patients enrolled each year in copay, medication support, and free-drug programs

“The automation is a game changer. Our business office doesn’t lift a finger, and we see real dollars coming in every month.”
— Critical Access Hospital Administrator
