Medical collections can hurt your business in a number of ways. First, they can damage your reputation. When patients see that you have a lot of unpaid medical bills, they may be less likely to trust you or to do business with you in the future. Second, medical collections can hurt your finances. If you have a lot of unpaid medical bills, you may have to borrow money to pay them off, which can add to your debt burden. Third, medical collections can hurt your ability to get loans. If you have a lot of unpaid medical bills, lenders may be less likely to approve you for loans, which can make it difficult to expand your business or to purchase new equipment.

Medical Collections are a Liability

If possible, you should aim to avoid having a large sum of medical collections on your A/R balance.

First, make sure you have clear, well-written, and concise payment terms that your clients affirmatively agree to – and make sure they initially and frequently provide you with valid contact information.

Then, make sure that you have a good billing system in place. This will help you to collect payments from patients as soon as possible.

Finally, if payments start to slip just a bit, work with your patients to make sure that they understand their financial obligations. If a patient is struggling to pay a bill, work with them to find a solution.
