Process
Patient responsibility calculated and posted after insurance pays, and a statement is generated immediately.
Patient receives a clear statement by mail or email within 3 to 5 days of balance being posted.
Friendly balance call made within 30 days if no payment is received, to explain the balance and take payment.
Payment taken by phone or online, or payment plan established and documented.
Why It Matters
With high-deductible health plans now covering over 50% of commercially insured patients, patients owe 30 to 40% of the total bill. Yet most practices collect less than 50 cents on every patient-owed dollar, and most billing companies only chase insurance, completely ignoring patient balances.
