Copayment Collection Fast Course
Published on Sat Jun 01, 2002
You can improve your copayment and deductible collection rates without hounding patients by having office staff:
verify patients' insurance coverage when scheduling appointments
talk to patients before their appointments about their financial responsibility for copayments, deductibles and noncovered services
give patients an up-front estimate of what they will owe
ask for payment of copayments and deductibles when the patient registers for their appointment
offer flexible payment options, like credit cards or extended payment plans. $ $ $
