The Problem with Collecting Patient Payments Over the Phone

Patient Collections is notoriously difficult in healthcare revenue cycle management. The patient user experience is usually terrible, but so is the Billing Team's experience. When a patient calls the office and wants to simply give a Biller their credit card number, things get messy. Here are a few nagging questions:

  1. Does your billing team have access to a credit card terminal to record the transaction?
  2. Which POS is the biller using?
  3. Is that POS connected to your Billing Module?
  4. Does the POS or your Billing Module know how much the patient responsibility is?
  5. When you do record the patient payment, does it post to the claim?
  6. How much more work does your billing team have to do to post the patient payment to the claim.
  7. Will this show up in your reporting?
  8. Will the patient get a receipt?
  9. Can a payment plan be offered instantly?
