Pre+Collect PLUS℠
Engaging patients who have missed their payment obligations can be a daunting task. Early delinquent AR intervention is a critical piece to your overall strategy. Timely follow-up will minimize your losses and prevent accounts from going to a debt collection agency, thus saving you money and your patient's future credit. Pre+Collect PLUS℠ is designed to take a fresh new approach to your delinquent accounts and minimize your bad-debt write-offs.

Pre+Collect PLUS℠
AR Delinquency Intervention
You already know that AR Billing Services excels in full service early-out programs. But did you know that we also offer pre-collect, debt-mitigation strategies designed to save your delinquencies before they reach a default status? We recognize that full service early-out is not always the right answer for every facility. Many of our clients have a strong early billing cycle in place but are frustrated with the amount of dollars that fall into a bad debt status.
Pre+Collect PLUS℠ is designed to reduce your bad debt write-offs while saving your patients the stigma of being placed with a debt collection agency. This is obviously good for your patient, and even better for you: you get a balance resolved at a cost nearly half of what a collection agency is likely to charge and more importantly, you save a valuable customer relationship! For accounts that do reach a default status, we can either return the account to you or manage placement to a collection agency of your choice.
• 60-90 day programs designed to mitigate bad debt write-off and preserve patient relationship
• Automated voicemail delivery, outgoing call campaigns
• Email and TEXT messaging services
• Debt Collection placement and management available for defaults (your choice of agency)
AR Billing Services is not a debt collection agency. We do not credit report, nor do we litigate. We specialize in non-default, medical self-pay receivables by offering professional account resolution management with our friendly call center technicians. We give your patient every means to remit, including online and IVR payment options, and we are fully compliant with HIPAA and 501(r).
