The likelihood your patients will pay you what they owe SIGNIFICANTLY DECREASES once they walk out your door. So, it makes sense that your front desk should be your first line of defense against uncollectable accounts receivable.

Getting patients to pay what they owe sounds easy enough, right? Just ask them to pay before they leave. Well, it’s just not that simple. There are a million reasons why your patients won’t pay before they leave. The good news is, there is something you can do to improve your patient collections …

On Thursday, May 14th at 1pm ET, Tracy will present a 60-minute, must-attend online training session that will help you maximize your patient collections at your front desk. This training will help you reduce your liability, as patient out-of-pocket deductibles soar.
