Collectly vs TailorMed
Two products aimed at the same patient balance from opposite directions. Collectly works collections, applying communication and payment behaviour to recover what patients owe, which is where a growing share of provider revenue now sits. TailorMed works affordability, identifying financially at risk patients and matching them to assistance programmes so the balance shrinks before anyone chases it. Both are legitimate and an organisation can run both, but it should decide deliberately which patients go where, because the same person can enter either workflow and the order changes the outcome. Neither publishes performance across patient populations, which matters most here: outreach that works less well for some groups lands hardest on the people least able to pay.
- It works patient responsibility as a collections and communication problem, with the buyer being the provider and the outcome being cash recovered.
- Behaviour rather than eligibility is the target, which is the right framing for balances patients can technically pay but do not.
- For an organisation measuring itself on days in accounts receivable, this is aimed directly at that metric.
- It identifies financially at risk patients and matches them against a large network of assistance programmes, so the outcome is the patient being able to afford care.
- The incentive is aligned with the patient completing therapy affordably rather than with a balance being recovered from someone who cannot pay it.
- Financial navigation reaches across therapies and payers rather than following a single balance.

These look adjacent and point in different directions, which is the substance of the comparison: one recovers what a patient owes and the other reduces what they owe. An organisation running both should be clear about which patients are routed where, because the same patient can appear in both workflows and the sequence matters.
Neither vendor publishes a subgroup analysis, and in this area that gap is consequential: collections outreach that performs unevenly falls hardest on the patients least able to absorb a balance. Neither publishes pricing, and collections is often priced on recovered cash.
