• Electronic payment options, such as online
  patient portals or mobile apps, should be
  provided to enhance financial viability. Billing
  statements should mention the patients financial
  responsibility and insurance payments to avoid
  misunderstandings and improve payment collection.
• Verify Patient Information
• Before providing care, verify patient
  information, including insurance coverage.
  Implementing a billing system that offers
  automated real-time eligibility checks can reduce
  manual verification efforts and minimize errors.

  havent paid their bills. Automated payment
  reminders via email or text can prompt timely
  payments. Contact information on statements
  ensures patients can easily reach out with
