Collecting from Patients Can be a Nightmare

The average healthcare provider only collects 49% of what patients owe

Even the patients that DO pay are EXTREMELY SLOW!

Page 15: How we help doctors

How Do YOU Deal With Slow-Pays?

Collection Agency? Up to 50% of whatever they collect May damage patient/doctor rapport

In-house Financing? You become a banker! Payments trickle in over 60-120 days

Write it off? How much are you losing each year?

Page 16: How we help doctors

Ask Yourself...

What would it be worth for you to get the money that you have already earned ...on the same day of the month, every month… without having to send a single invoice?

Our clients will tell you… It’s worth thousands!
