ruthie72:
Do I still have to send a patient a bill showing paid each month when they are a cash patient?

DMK:
No.  That is a waste of time, money (postage, your time), and paper.  You can print a super statement at the end of treatment or the end of the year if the patient requests it for their taxes.  The beauty of cash pay is that it eliminates the paper billing (both to insurance company and the patient).  There is still data entry though and, as a billing service, be sure you're billing paid for your TIME!   :D

PMRNC:
I agree, generally no, however I have a client that wants even his cash pay patients to receive a statement every quarter. I usually run those in their own batches.

Billergirlnyc:
I have clients that want the same too, Linda. I also have clients with patients who have healthcare spending accounts/flexible spending accounts/medical spending/savings accounts etc that reimburse them quarterly. I have a few who nitpick and want it immediately after the services are rendered and we oblige (they usually claim they can submit any time of the year for reimbursement). It's gotten to the point that if I sign a client who works closer to Wall Street or the UN (just a trend I've seen) I already know how much work we'll be doing with monthly (sometimes weekly) statements. I price accordingly.

PMRNC:
I have one of those health savings accounts myself and we can submit throughout year as well, I usually have my doctor just print me out something quarterly or bi-annually.
