Survey Regarding Collection Services
We are often asked by providers if we offer a collection agency service or can recommend a good collection agency.
To help providers collect more money due them, we are considering offering a collection letter service for our PremiumPlus and Platinum Service providers as follows and would like input from our clients to determine if our clients have any interest:
For patients with past due balances, we would send a series of up to 3 letters (a month apart).
The letters would be on your letterhead. Patients would contact you with any questions or requests for payment terms on their balances
We would indicate the balance and provide a link to pay online if you offer that option (for example, for TherapyNotes users where patients can pay in the TherapyNotes portal).
Your office could indicate that we should send to all patients with past due balances (generally more than 90 days past due) OR you could indicate that you would provide a list of patients to whom we would send letters.
If at the end of the 3 letters the patients still had not paid the balance you could then refer the patients to a collection agency if you want for full collection services or you could choose to write off the balance.
Fee--If we would offer this service, it would only be $19.95 per patient for the collection letter service (much less than what you would pay a collection agency that charges a percentage).
TO HELP US DETERMINE INTEREST IN THIS SERVICE, PLEASE SIMPLY SEND ME AN EMAIL TO steven@mbpros.com TO ADVISE if you would be interested or not.
Thanks,
Steve
