Working Capital Loans for Healthcare

Working Capital Loans are powered by Optum Bank and informed by 2 decades of working directly with healthcare providers. Our deep understanding of your needs led us to build 2 solutions designed specifically for the business side of care:

• Capital Loan — Unlock fast access to stress-free working capital, helping your business grow and invest in the future.
• Cash Flow Loan — Smooth out cash flow with this innovative lending solution for providers. It delivers a lump sum amount on a monthly basis, providing predictable access to funds.

Working Capital Loans offer easy access to funds with a set fee that's transparent and affordable. There are no hidden fees, periodic interest charges or prepayment penalties. There's also no restriction on business use:

• Providers can use these loans to expand their organization, buy new equipment, plan for payroll/bonuses and level out seasonal spikes.
• Health systems use these loans to smooth out cash flow and cover gaps in receiving government reimbursements and state funding.

The amount of your Working Capital Loan is tailored to your organization and informed by claim payment activity. Repayments are stress-free since they’re automated.

Eligibility is reviewed regularly and informed by a variety of factors. At minimum, the following must be true for your organization to be considered for one or more of our loan products:
