The best way to force patients to pay there bill is to charge a monthly interest rate higher then credit card eg 2% per month and a late fee for any unpaid balance. As soon as the patient see this charge they will either pay there bill on time or not to come to your office and find some one else. I apply this policy to all patients with or without insurance. It worked will for me in the last 9 months since I started to adopt this policy.
