About

Patient Options was founded by attorneys, doctors and insurance compliance specialists to address the increasing legal issues facing health care providers who help the uninsured or under-insured. It’s no secret that today, patients have to absorb more out-of-pocket expenses related to their health care. Certain state laws, federal laws and provider contracts prohibit many common practices among providers, specifically these laws and contracts prohibit offering discounted (different) prices for “cash paying” patients or other inducements to patients seeking care. This has been called a dual fee schedule and insurance companies construe this as a type of false claims act  both of which can get you into legal trouble.    Patient Options is here to help. In this highly regulated health care marketplace, our mission is to help patients and doctors alike.  We offer solutions for patients in need, and also help providers keep compliant and out of trouble. Patient Options gives providers an opportunity to legally offer discounts to patients.
