Early Out Self-Pay Collections Early Out Insurance Follow Up
As healthcare costs continue to increase, so do patients' self-pay balances. With the
implementation of the Affordable Care Act, higher deductibles and co-pays have been seen
across the board. The burden of collecting these higher balances is placed directly on your
facility. Compared to co-pays, deductibles can take more than four times longer to collect.
Some medical entities ultimately write off close to 18% of deductibles to bad debt.
Our Early Out process is designed and priced so that you can easily and efficiently outsource
your self-pay collections to us. We work as an extension of your office and adapt to your
policies and procedures. We can place calls and send notices in your name, or in the name of
our subsidiary Ocmulgee Billing Solutions. We align our people, process and technology to
increase collections and ensure a quality patient experience. Increased collections mean less dollars placed with a third party collection agency.
