The waiting room is overflowing with patients, but so is your overdue receivable. More than 30 percent of Americans don't have health insurance. Those that do, still often pay 20 percent. Many don't collect 50 percent of the monies owed them. Indeed, one client said 69 percent of his receivables were more than 90 days past due. Many often carry tens of thousands of dollars on their books, knowing there's a good chance they'll never see this money. |
