Bert - I have the same issue - I have the same issue. I have practiced in the same small town for 13 years and have many patients who have run up hundreds of dollars in charges and virtually never pay any of the amounts their insurances do not pay. Unfortunately we as physicians are poor at telling people who do not pay to go away.....if you find a solution let me know and until then I will do what most of us do is continue seeing them and being a bit annoyed that they don't pay. It is why we solo physicians are a bit of a dying breed. I guess it would be better if I got a paycheck and I never knew how money got collected.
