Playing Hardball
The Worst, Meanest Things Some Try To Do To
Collect, & Which Ones Are Effective and Legal!
Review of Other eBooks In This Series
Getting paid often comes down to a set of certain
psychology triggers.
Simple Psychology
The Rosenthal Effect
You tend to get paid what you expect to get paid.
Getting paid is more about respect than money.
People have money, they just arent paying you.
The Revenue Funnel Leakage
If youll think of your practice as a revenue funnel,
then you have leakage in both your front & back
of鍖ce. Heres how to 鍖x them.
Mind Games: Wagging, Barking & Biting
It is mainly wagging and barking, not biting that
gets people to pay.
If you could bite - what would that be exactly?
But lets just ask the question
What is the worst thing you can do
to a patient if they dont pay their
bill on timelegally?
Biting Options:
You cant yell, cuss, threaten, insult (FDCPA*)
You cant show up at their house or work (FDCPA)
You cant put them in Debtors Prison (sorry)
* The FDCPA, Fair Debt Collection Practices Act,
wont allow you to do these things (as fun or stress-
relieving as they might be).
Stop service (if you can)
Ding their credit
Take them to court
So What CAN You Do?
- Its time consuming,
- No your agency doesnt do this for you,
- If the patient ever does pay you, its excruciatingly hard to reverse,
- But the *real* kicker is that
Recovery rates go DOWN when you ding their credit.
- Its time consuming,
- No your agency doesnt do this for you unless the balance is huge,
- You will easily win the case, but all you will get from your trouble is a
piece of paper (a judgement),
- So the *real* kicker is that
Hardly any money is ever collected from court cases with patients.
Conclusion:
It might feel good to penalize people who dont pay
you (aka steal from you), but its not cost-effective.
Another Option:
What if you did nothing at all to change your
patient collection strategies?
How long could you survive the current
healthcare environment?
Want to learn how to re-train your patient
base to actually pay you?
We have apps for that!
To see them in action, just set a demo!
Do it now!
