Patient balances are an integral part of a practice’s revenue cycle. Taking inventory of the current processes in place to collect patient balances can help you maximize your resources. Time-of-service collections continue to provide the most success. However, the key to increasing collections is directly connected to improving daily processes and implementing protocols for your staff to follow.
