How to collect your Healthcare Receivables

An estimated 85 percent of all medical services are paid for through credit arrangements.

This makes you a credit grantor, much like department stores, oil companies, utilities and others.  You differ, however, from most other credit grantors in at least two ways:

• In most cases, your "customer" would rather not have to use your service.  And, in some instances, patients do not have a choice of products, services, or brand names, nor can they make price comparisons.

• Although you may have treated an injury or illness and made the patient feel better, there usually isn't anything tangible, such as a car or television set, to be a reminder of your care.

When it comes time for your patients to pay their various bills, yours is often on the bottom of the pile.  You find that you are competing with other credit grantors that supply a more tangible product and your collection problem is therefore more difficult.

When you turn your delinquent accounts over to Goldstein & Dun Associates Collection Agency, you can be assured that our office, as a member of the American Collectors Association, Inc., will give you the finest possible collection service.
