Our Process
Patient Statement
Process
Patient statements are first sent when a balance
becomes patient responsibility. If all goes
well, the patient pays the balance and that is
the end of the process. If not, then the patient
continues to receive a statement every 30 days.
Patients with balances over 60 days old are
contacted by telephone until the balance is
resolved.
At 90 days without payment or other activity,
the patient account is considered delinquent and
enters pre-collection status. Pre-collection
accounts continue to receive telephone calls and
also receive a delinquency notice.
Patients not responding to our pre-collection
efforts are placed on a list and presented to
our clients. At this point we can forward the
account to the collection agency (if desired) or
waive the balance if preferred.
