Although you increase the quality of your patient’s lives, and sometimes even save them, when it comes time for the patient to pay their bills, yours is often at the bottom of the pile. You are competing with other credit grantors that supplied a tangible product, or something they really enjoy like cable or their cell phone and therefore your medical collections problem is more difficult.

This is why it’s important to learn as much as possible about your patient and make your credit policy clear before the medical service is actually given. This will help you minimize future medical collections problems. This is when the patient is most likely to be cooperative.

The information you should obtain is as follows:

To aid medical collections, get the patient’s full name and birth date.
To aid medical collections, get the full name of the person financially responsible for the patient, full address, phone numbers for home, work, and a relative.
To aid medical collections, get the patient’s Social Security number.
To aid medical collections, get the patient’s present employer, job title, name of supervisor, address, & phone number.
To aid medical collections, get the name and address of the patient’s insurance company.
You should also verify insurance information at this time if possible to help with patient medical collections.

PREDICTING POTENTIAL MEDICAL COLLECTIONS PROBLEMS

Here are some things to look for that will help predict a potential medical collections problem:

Has the patient had several jobs in a short period of time?
Has the patient moved often?
Is the patient having personal problems?
Does the patient have a phone?
