"The best defense is a good
offense"
"An ounce of prevention is
worth a pound of cure"
"Retention of patients
starts before they become one"
"People pay exactly how you
educate them to pay"
What does all of this mean, it's simple.
By properly educating patients (your customers) early in the
relationship about how you conduct business when it comes to money
and billing you will save your practice thousands in lost revenues
and, most importantly you will not alienate your
patients.
We suggest that first of all you have a
professionally produced brochure that lets your patients know what
they can expect. Every docs waiting room is covered over with
information concerning care issues but few have anything for
the patient about the business side of the relationship.
If a practice has past due receivables it
is almost always because of how they granted credit in the first
place. Prevention always works!
Our firm will help you develop this
important policy and material for much less cost than one lost
patient. Along with policy ideas we will help you with the process
of building your practice with cutting edge marketing
tools.
