Cash patients

<< < (2/2)

RichardP:
Assume Patient A pays his entire bill at the time of service.  Assume Patient B has a payment plan that stretches out over 24 months.  Assume Patient C pays half at the time of service and asks to be billed for the rest.

Q1:  Do you refer to Patients A-C as cash patients?

Q2:  Do you use any other label(s) to distinguish Patient A from B, and B from C?

Q3:  What do you do when you have not received any payment from Patients B or C after 30-45 days?  That is, do you have any problems with cash patients not paying until/unless they receive a statement?

PMRNC:
I'm pretty sure she meant those with $0 Balance ;)     

I use payment codes. The more detailed your payment/adjustment codes are the better reports. I can run a report right now and see WHAT patients have not made their "partial" payment.   For my cash patients there are a few codes I use to distinguish what kind of cash pay they are.

Thanks.  Your interpretation of the original question is different from my interpretation.  If you are correct (and you probably are), that gives the original question a whole different meaning to me, and makes the questions I asked irrelevant.
