Urgent Care

Urgent Care Billing Cash Flow

A high volume of lower-dollar visits leaves a lot of cash tied up while UnitedHealthcare and Aetna take weeks to pay.

Built for urgent care volume

A high volume of small claims, funded as one batch.

Urgent care lives on lower-dollar claims at scale, so a lot of cash sits tied up across many visits at once. Copay purchases the whole eligible batch and pays the next business day.

Common questions

Urgent care billing, answered.

No. Copay is not a loan, not factoring, and not a merchant cash advance. Copay purchases your eligible urgent care claims outright and deposits funds the next business day, with no debt and no repayment schedule.

Urgent care runs on a high volume of lower-dollar claims, so a lot of cash sits tied up across many visits at once. Copay purchases your eligible claims in bulk and funds them the next business day, so the whole batch turns into capital instead of waiting weeks to adjudicate one by one.

Copay purchases eligible claims billed to the commercial plans urgent care centers see most, including UnitedHealthcare, Aetna, Cigna, and BlueCross, as well as Medicare and Medicaid managed care plans.

Yes. There is no fixed cap. When cold and flu season drives visit volume up, Copay purchases the additional eligible claims at the same next-business-day terms, so your capital scales with the surge instead of lagging behind it.

Non-recourse means a denied eligible claim is Copay's loss, not yours. If an eligible purchased urgent care claim is denied or downcoded after the fact, Copay absorbs the loss with no clawbacks against your center.
