Working patient pay accounts

Written by Reed Tinsley | July 23, 2009

 

As a practice administrator, you should make a point every 4 months or so to work patient balance accounts.  This allows you a chance to speak personally with patients and find out certain things that happen in your processes that might help your collection efforts in the future.  It’s also a good checks and balances on your collectors. I know you have better things to do, but you should find this exercise very informative.
