4. Improve Collections and Reduce Bad Debt

Patient out-of-pocket obligations are at all-time highs and the patient financial responsibility is a growing percentage of every healthcare provider's accounts receivable. The cost to collect these funds continues to grow. To address these dynamics, healthcare organizations need to implement proactive patient financial estimates to capture payments as early in the process as possible. Research shows that patients want to understand their financial responsibility upfront so they can better budget for their rising healthcare costs. This increases collections for the hospital, thus reducing the amount needed to write off as bad debt.

Patients have many concerns about their health and the services they require. Help them to set their expectations and to understand what their financial obligations will be. By informing them of their cost prior to the service, you allow them to make an educated decision on when they want to receive care. In many cases, providing an upfront estimate not only reduces your bad debt, but it can also help them reduce their out-of-pocket costs.
