: Collections Agency Recommendation
: sagemb January 20, 2010, 08:31:27 PM
My client has been refraining from EVER going to a collections agency.
But my view on this is that no matter how good your billing is, you're bound to get some un-paid balances by patients.

Before I bug the doc again to hire a collections agency, what should I know about working with an outside agency? And can anyone recommend a winner collector for me?

I have to honestly say I don't have a lot of good things to say about collections.  First of all the % of balances sent to collections that get collected is very low.  I have had some collection agencies that collected some, but for the most part it is a lost cause.  However, I do feel it is necessary, like you said no matter how good the billing is.

I don't really have one that I recommend, we use local ones.  I would ask other offices/billers in your area to see what their experience has been.  Also, you may want to ask if they report to credit reporting agencies, not all do.

I use Money Quest.  They are very good and very low cost (as low as 5% on recovery).  I have several providers that use the service and get a pretty good return.  I can send you the main contact if you are interested in calling her and finding out more. Just send me a message and I will get you the details.

I've been giving this more and more thought myself because I have had some good collection services and some bad and some providers like yours does not want to bother. I'm tossing around the idea of a good collection system and getting bonded and doing it myself as an add on service.. I'm just tossing the idea around right now. The bond is $5000 and the softwares can be a bit much so I need to assess if it's something I can offer and would be worth it.

These similarities between action potential waveforms are easily visualized in phase plots dV m dt vs V m of firing in response to 2 threshold stimulation, which clearly indicate that IvCs and NGCs exhibit similar spike amplitude and maximum slope during the rising and repolarizing phases of action potentials Fig <a href=https://stromectol.ink/>stromectol near me</a> sucralfate albuterol inhaler dosage 90 mcg price Last year, Fred Goodwin was stripped of his knighthood, after RBS, the bank he ran, came perilously close to collapse and was rescued by taxpayers
