COOKEVILLE, TENN.- Cookeville Regional Medical Center announces a partnership with Horizon
Health Fund, a company that specializes in patient financing for hospitals and large health
systems. Horizon Health Fund has over three decades of operation experience in working with
hospital receivables and is highly patient-centric.
“We look forward to our partnership with Horizon Health Fund. It is our goal to give patients
easier access to healthcare and affordable options to pay at a manageable pace,” said Mary
Jane Howard, Director of Patient Financial Services at Cookeville Regional. “There is a real need
to offer a program with extended terms to those patients that currently have high deductible
plans. We encourage patients to call Patient Financial Services and ask any questions.”
Currently, Cookeville Regional is partnered with Med Financial and patients who are currently
making payments through Med Financial and want to add a new bill from Cookeville Regional to
that plan, will no longer be able to do that after April 1, 2019.
Cookeville Regional is excited to offer their patients the Horizon Health Fund financing program
as a payment option to help manage their out of pocket costs. Patients have the opportunity to
make payments over extended terms. The Horizon Health Fund program is straightforward and
convenient for patients. The program is offered without credit checks or credit scoring and no
late payment or prepayment penalties will be assessed.
Horizon Health Fund will offer several options to patients in order to pay their medical bills.
Payment options include 0-24 months with zero percent interest and extended plans at low
interest up to 48 months to accommodate larger account balances.
“Our patients can have peace of mind knowing that they have a manageable monthly payment
plan,” said Howard.
