Phone Call Billing Reminders
Research shows medical bills are much more likely to turn into patient payments when they are just a few days old versus 45, 60 or 90+ days old. It is important for medical offices to make contact with their patients on outstanding bills sooner rather later. This is why an automated phone call billing reminder is one of the fastest and easiest methods for medical facilities.
The automated bill reminder service with 1-800 Notify alerts patients of the unpaid bill shortly after the patient s invoice is sent which ensures better collections and improves patient rapport.
Autopay by Phone (We Call Patient or Patient Calls Us)
Convenience is critical for healthcare payment solutions. This is why phone calls receive a much higher response rate than paper statements when it comes to clearing an outstanding balance.
What is even more beneficial in getting a patient to pay is to offer an automatic pay-by-phone system. By giving patients the option to use credit cards to settle unpaid bills, you are much more likely to receive payments immediately! This eliminates staff having to take the time for collections and provides your patients with the convenience of paying off their accounts in less than a minute.
You can also accept calls in from patients 24 x 7 using a new dedicated 800 number (e.g. 1-888-555-1111, supplied by 1-800 Notify solely for your practice use). Print your new autopay by phone number on all your statements, post it in your office and publicize it via your staff.
