Abstract
A method and system for providing a healthcare expense donation network whereby a third party provided healthcare management system, such as a computing system or on-line implemented healthcare expense tacking and/or payment system provides a service through which a healthcare consumer can create a verified patient need profile indicating a need for help in paying their healthcare expenses and requesting donations to this end. At least part of the healthcare consumer's patient need profile data is verified, as well as any other financial and/or personal data associated with the submitted patient need profile that a potential donor, the patient, and/or the provider of the process for providing a healthcare expense donation network desires to be verified. Once the healthcare patient need profile data is verified, the verified patient need profile is made available to potential donors and the potential donors are provided the ability to securely make donations to the patient's healthcare expenses directly.
