Medical Electronic Payment Advance (MEPA) is a quick and easy way for medical and health professionals to secure short-term working capital without taking personal risk.
- Less expensive, less cumbersome and less restrictive than standard receivable financing alternatives.
- A working capital alternative to accounts receivable financing and traditional loans.
- Based on practice or facility’s historical monthly collections including co-pays, and insurance receivables.
- A lump sum payment option with an average collection period ranging from 4-12 months.
- A less expensive alternative to equipment leasing. (Good credit, collateral, and personal guarantees not required.)
MEPA is an upfront, lump-sum cash payment whose repayment is based on the collection of a fixed percentage of a practice or facility’s future electronic payments including co-pays and third party receivables including insurance.
- "Could your practice run more efficiently if it had $50,000-$100,000 of immediate working capital available to it?"
- "Have you ever considered a working capital line, loan or factor to help finance your practice’s current cash flow needs?"
- "Would you consider securing immediate financing for your business if it did not encumber your personal assets?"
If you’ve answered “yes” to any of these questions than MEPA may be a perfect solution for your business.
How does MEPA compare to Medical Accounts Receivable Financing?
Medical Factoring/Medical Receivables is a type of asset-based lending, when a company uses its customer receivables as collateral. A receivable is an invoice outstanding to customers who owe the business for payment for product/services the business delivered. Costs an average of 3-5% per MONTH of the amounts borrowed. (Also referred to as "factoring")
MEPA is a less-expensive alternative to factoring and is a perfect solution if your invoices are aged more than 90 days (which factors generally do not accept).
