Health care reform sets new requirements for facilitating coverage for uninsured patients. Ensure your patients receive the care and financial assistance they need while reducing your costs and administrative burdens with RAMP powered by R&B Solutions. 

What is RAMP? 

RAMP, short for Rapid Applications for Medical Programs, is a customized web-based tool to screen for financial assistance programs in your state, counties and hospitals, including:

• Medi-Cal Programs for the Aged, Blind, and Disabled, as well as Family programs for Parents, Pregnant Women, Minor Children under 21, Breast and Cervical Cancer Treatment Program, etc.
• CMSP: County Medical Services Program Serving rural counties in California
• Crime Victim Compensation 
• Section 1011 program for undocumented aliens
• Hospital Financial Assistance/Charity Program

During the interview process, RAMP identifies the best potential program for your uninsured patient based on household and financial considerations. It then provides the appropriate application form for the program, auto-populating certain fields and allowing staff to include attachments like medical releases and charity documents. The system even facilitates income estimation, address verifications and the gathering of other financial information so your staff can save time, achieve greater accuracy—and faster reimbursements.
