Patient Billing and Collections FAQs
How can a medical practice improve patient collections?
Check insurance and estimate the patient’s share before the visit, collect copays and known balances at check-in, send clear statements quickly, make it easy to pay, offer payment plans and follow up on a regular schedule. Patients pay faster when their bill is clear and expected.
When should a practice send a patient balance to collections?
Many practices wait until a balance has had several statements and reminders over about 90 to 120 days and the patient has been offered a payment plan. Put the steps in your written financial policy, share it with patients and check payer contract and state rules first.
Why do patients get surprise medical bills?
Usually because their share was not explained up front: a deductible had not been met, a service was not covered, or the insurance on file was out of date. Checking eligibility and benefits before every visit prevents most surprises and most unpaid balances.
What is included in patient billing services?
Patient billing covers sending statements, answering patients’ billing questions, setting up payment plans that follow your policy, and following up on unpaid balances. Billing Care Assistant handles these calls with patience and care, so your front desk can focus on patients.
