Electronic Fund Transfer

Improve Patient Billing with EFT

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