Account Receivable Factoring or Small Business Loan: Which is a Better Financing Option for Outsourced Medical Coding Companies?

Comparing and contrasting medical coding account receivable factoring to a loan from a bank sounds like a daunting task. To be honest, it’s hard to compare the two equally because one financing mechanism creates debt by lending money (i.e. bank loan), whereas the other one creates immediate cash flow by advancing cash on purchased invoices (i.e. factoring).

Thankfully, comparing the two medical coding funding options doesn’t have to be difficult. Here is a handy comparison chart outlining the key differences between medical coding account receivable factoring and bank financing:

As you can see from the above chart, medical coding account receivable factoring eliminates many of the difficult-to-meet criteria of a traditional bank loan. It’s an especially good financing option to consider now because it’s become increasingly more difficult to qualify for a traditional small business loan. Ultimately, outsourced medical coding business owners have to decide for themselves which is the best financing fit.
