PMRNC:
Let this be a lesson learned if charging a %.

But.. unlike other responses, I'd not let it go. You can do a number of things to get paid.
--credit report
--small claims
---attorney collections.

NO physician likes negative marks on their credit report so that usually works. 
If you have a good contract..you can collect, I disagree with the other responses here.

Michele:
I agree with Linda.  I would not let it go.  She gave some other possibilities for you to try.

I should have been more clear.  On the few that we have let go it was only when the amount do was not worth the effort to collect.  But you said she owes quite a bit so I would definitely pursue it.

JMHO - Don't let this go, give your provider fair warning, but at the very least, turn this provider over to a collection firm. Start thinking like business owner, if you don't pay your bills, your creditors will turn you over to their legal or collections dept., you need to do the same if you've not been paid.  Just remember, you're running a business not a charitable organization. As The Godfather once said: "It's not personal...it's strictly business"  ;)

THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME NOT ONCE BUT TWICE SO I HAD TO SEEK AN ATTORNEY FOR MY MONEY ON BOTH OCCASSIONS WE NEVER MADE IT TO COURT BOTH TIMES MY ATTORNEY ONLY SENT A LETTER AND THE CLIENT PAID ME AFTER MY ATTORNEY FEE'S OF A $1,000 JUST FOR A LETTER BUT IT WAS WELL WORTH IT IN THE END BECUASE I GOT MY MONEY PAID IN FULL.
