Self-pay
Improve your cash flow and your patient relationships
For many patients, the world of medical billing is confusing and complex. To navigate it successfully, they need information that is simple, timely, and clear. For too long, approaches to self-pay challenges have ignored these realities. That is why we put patient service – not collections – at the heart of our self-pay solutions.
Are you confident your staff has the skills, time, and tools to handle the technical and personal nuances of self-pay receivables while reducing or even eliminating surprise billing? Our solutions can help you successfully liquidate your portfolio of self-pay receivables while maintaining positive patient relationships.
