How the fund’s claim is documented
IPC pledges its ownership interest in the medical receivables to the fund as security. A first-position lien is established through a Letter of Protection signed by the law firm handling the case and a UCC-1 filing, both completed before funds are released. Lien priority and enforceability remain subject to applicable state law and the facts of each case. The fund may approve a higher advance than 25% for a given case.
Insurer rating requirement
Ultimate payors must be rated AM Best A- or better or, if not rated by AM Best, S&P BBB- or Moody’s Baa1. No single medical procedure can be paid for over $350,000.
The 9-step process
- Your moneyYou invest in the fund alongside other accredited investors, starting at $50,000.
- Finding casesIPC sources cases through its own network of medical providers. Every bill comes from a clinic IPC already works with.
- Reviewing casesEach case is screened three times: the provider’s billing history, the legal case and attorney, and the lien. Weak cases are filtered out before any money moves.
- Funding and securing the claimThe fund advances IPC up to 25% of the bill’s value. IPC pays the provider and pledges the bill to the fund, documented through a Letter of Protection before funds are released.
- Managing the casesIPC stays in contact with the attorney and case manager on every case and keeps collections reconciled.
- Regular check-insEvery 90 days, IPC confirms where each case stands. That same information feeds your fund reporting.
- CollectionWhen a case resolves, the settlement is paid from the attorney’s trust account directly toward repaying the fund, not through the provider.
- Repayment and reinvestmentIPC repays principal and interest to the fund. Repaid money is reinvested in new loans until the fund ends, when principal is returned to investors.
- Your quarterly paymentPayments come from the performance of the whole portfolio, not any single case. After 12 months you can request up to half of your money (requests take up to 120 days), and the rest after 15 months.
