Commercial Study Will Measure Impact of Increasing Access and Affordability of Aesthetic Procedures

PatientFi, LLC, a leading financial technology company that partners with medical practices to offer patients accessible financing plans for elective procedures, is pleased to announce its partnership with Allergan plc on a year-long market research study to examine the impact of financing plans on patients’ accessibility to aesthetic procedures.

PatientFi has designed a new patient financing program that aligns practice staff to help more patients finance procedures such as breast augmentation, mommy makeovers, and surgical facial rejuvenation. As such, PatientFi is uniquely situated to study patient decision-making factors, including perceived value and affordability.

“PatientFi is excited to partner with Allergan, a world leader in medical aesthetics, and together help gain an understanding of the growth potential of this market by identifying the key financial barriers patients face when considering aesthetic procedures,” says Dr. Louis Bucky, Chairman, PatientFi, LLC. “The rate of innovation in patient financing has not kept pace with the clinical developments of medical aesthetics. We look forward to the results of this market research study.”

Founded by healthcare industry veterans Scott Jorgensen and Todd Watts, PatientFi is solving a number of problems with the patient financing industry today by reducing expensive merchant processing fees and offering patient-friendly financing options delivered via a proprietary, instantaneous credit application and decision process that provides personalized payment plans tailored to each aesthetic patient’s profile and budget.

Allergan commissioned this patient study through PatientFi’s platform because of its innovative approach to increasing access and affordability for patients across the broadest offering of aesthetic procedures. Allergan and PatientFi plan to present their findings in Spring 2020.
