Get a comprehensive snapshot of a patients’ financial disposition without the risk and burden of FCRA data.
Wave HDC’s Financial Disposition Curator combines technology and strategy into what is becoming the next generation solution to eliminate FCRA tools that use credit inquiries. it gives healthcare providers the data they need to make informed decisions about presumptive charity care, financial assistance qualification, payment plan necessity and propensity-to-pay without the high risk, hassles and expense of using FCRA data.

Data holds the answer to financial assistance qualification challenges.
Healthcare organizations that provide financial assistance programs struggle to gather the necessary paperwork and attestation that is required to qualify patients that need assistance with their outstanding balances. That’s where Wave HDC’s Financial Disposition Curator plays an essential role. “Thin file” consumers create a gap with FCRA data and credit report derived data; our tool has no population gaps.
Our tool gives providers the necessary information about patients’ propensity and ability to pay so they can make an informed, non-discriminatory decision. Without the facts, providers risk harassing patients, wasting effort chasing uncollectible bills and a slough of FCRA-related risks.
Most financial disposition tools have major drawbacks.
FCRA tools—the most common source of patient data—have downsides that include expensive surcharges, the potential for triggering credit reports on patients and adverse actions requiring you to report back to the bureaus or field complaints from the OIG. Our solution helps you avoid all these.
