Read MoreWe Help Hospitals Empower Their Policies & Patients
Breez Works In Partnership With Hospitals Focused On Providing Financial Relief For Patients And Families Who Need It The Most.
We understand the importance of reducing and eliminating financial disparities that prohibit communities from gaining access to critical care, and provide financial assistance solutions that make it easier and more effective for non-profit hospitals to do so.
The inability to pay for care and lack of access to financial assistance programs causes negative effects for both the patient and hospital. Current financial assistance processes can be cumbersome and inefficient, costing both hospitals and patients time and money. At Breez, we work with non-profit hospitals to assess their current financial assistance program to ensure they avoid some of the most common pitfalls, such as:
- Applications are difficult to find
- Qualification language and process is unclear
- Application process is complex and manual
- Cost and administrative burden weighs on hospital staff
- Overall patient experience needs improvement
What Our Clients Are Saying


New Opportunities For Growth
We are experts and well versed in regulatory requirements when it comes to helping hospitals maintain their tax-exempt status. We work to help organizations avoid compliance issues and the risk of losing tax-exempt status, and provide a path to greater efficiency and patient satisfaction. Breez empowers its clients to lead the industry in Charity Care as a percentage of net patient revenue, and promote health equity and positive patient outcomes.
Managing the patient application process can cost time and money. From review, to documentation verification, eligibility calculation, review and ongoing management, Breez simplifies and streamlines the entire process for both patients and hospitals.
As a result, we are also able to help our clients uncover new revenue opportunities by increasing and accelerating Federal Uncompensated Care Reimbursement (UCC), and reducing the cost of program administration.
