3 Ways DME Patient Pay Services Increase Collections
DME patient pay services can increase collections, and thereby profitability, from three main areas: patient pay calls, collection times, and consistent, intelligent reporting.
#1 Managing Patient Pay Calls
Patient pay calls are a time-consuming task for businesses. Often, the patient’s inability to understand their financial responsibility can lead to long calls and unhappy patients, resulting in potential negative reviews and referrals.
Medbill, a trusted DME billing team, uses their expertise and empathy to navigate patient calls successfully. The Medbill team uses a proven patient pay call system that results in positive and efficient patient calls.
Some of the system steps include:
- Collecting payments during the phone call
- Providing patients with FSA/HSA reimbursement documents
- Following a Do’s and Don’ts Procedure, i.e.
- Do be kind, courteous, helpful
- Don’t assume, insinuate, inflame, and ignore patients
- Performing effective strategies for requesting pre-pay options at the time of service
The Results
Improved patient pay calls with better customer service result in positive referrals, reviews, and repeat customer orders.
#2 Faster Collection Times
Without a consistent, organized collection system in place, patient payments can be delayed and result in slow collection times.
The Medbill teams use a multiple-step approach that maximizes their reach and results in faster collection times.
Some of the steps include:
- Patient Statements vs. Patient Invoicing Processes
- Live outgoing calls combined with mailings
- Follow-ups in all areas
- Patient deductibles
- Updating insurance
- Making sure the correct insurance gets billed
The Results
Faster collection times will increase the business’s cash flow.
#3 Detailed Reporting and Tracking
Without a comprehensive monthly report on the patient call data, you can’t make accurate business decisions.
The Medbill team uses reporting and tracking systems to ensure timely patient balances and find areas of improvement.
The monthly reports are:
- Accurate – The data is 100% correct and reliable
- Comprehensive – Addresses every aspect of the business
- Consistent – Receive the report every month
- Intelligent – Educates your staff on significant data trends
The Results
Access to the most accurate and essential data provides you stress-free information so you can focus your attention on other areas of the business.
