Episode #88 What To Do About Patient Balances
Manage episode 406947384 series 2801557
Do you have a fair amount of outstanding patient balances and difficulties collecting?
Well, you’re not alone. It’s common, particularly in small practices, to struggle with collecting money from patients.
Most patients never blink an eye when asked for their co-pay, deductible, or other balances. They do everything they can to pay on time and in full.
But there seem to be a few who just don’t want to pay… ever.
It’s the 80/20 rule at work… 80% (or more) pay every time, but 20% of patients (or fewer) kick and scream when asked to tap their card or write a check.
So what's an NP to do?
