I collect all funds due at the time of service, before the patient is seen. I don't have in office labs or imaging, which makes that easier (no charges added during visit). I would set up at payment plan if needed, but have never had to before. I also like that the patient knows fully what we are charging before they are responsible for the bill. I never have to send to collections. Do any of you folks collect at time of service like I do? And if you don't, why not?
