You send them one statement, and that payment is always immediately paid. Distracted / Undisciplined Its not that this type of payer cant pay you; its that this type of payer wants to be reminded to pay you - before theyre going to pay you. Unfortunately, a lot of businesses have to spend a lot of money following up and reminding these types of payers to pay. Disrespectful When its not a matter of whether or not this type of payer knows they owe you money, its that this disrespectful payer needs a real consequence before theyre going to pay you. Disrespectful payers usually have received multiple contacts. Professional Debtor Professional debtors unfortunately know the industry, they know how to work the system, they usually bounce around from doctor to doctor, to whichever doctor is less proactive in their follow up on self pay responsibility. The reality is that there is still some money to be collected from these payers, its just going to take a much more professional conversation before youre ever going to get paid.
