Company Description

About Patient Funding Alternatives (PFA)

At Patient Funding Alternatives (PFA), we remove the barriers that keep Medicaid-eligible and medically underserved people from getting the care they deserve. We partner with hospitals and health systems across the country to help patients secure coverage through employer-sponsored insurance, which simplifies the process for the patient, protects them financially, and improves outcomes for the hospital.

We are the only organization in the U.S. offering a full Premium Assistance Enrollment service supported by dedicated Patient Advocates working on-site inside partner hospitals.

PFA is growing quickly nationwide, and that growth rests on people who care about the patients in front of them. We believe our employees are our most valuable resource, and we work hard to protect a real work/life balance inside a culture built on empathy, teamwork, and respect.
