Consumerism in healthcare: An initiative of the HFMA patient friendly billing project

The Patient-Friendly Billing project has examined how retail concepts in consumerism affect hospitals, physicians, and patients, especially during the revenue cycle from the point of preregistration through patient account settlement. This includes the growing trends toward high-deductible health plans, health reimbursement arrangements, and health savings accounts. The project leaders sought to fill the gap in practical, in-depth, operational guidance available to providers trying to prepare for these developments.
