Many of you have heard me rant about the futility of sending an endless round of statements to your patients in an attempt to collect past due balances. While the alternative of sending everyone to a collections agency is not exactly a viable solution either, we’ve been “beta-testing” a solution for the past several years that has proven to be a winner.
It is a “statement of delinquency” form that was developed to get slow paying patients to pay. I will admit that I was initially suspicious of its simplicity. But thousands of “beta-testing” trials later have proven one fact: simple works! In fact, several chiropractic clients using them has found that they work particularly well even in stalled economies such as the one we are in now.
The Delinquency Statements are very simple and inexpensive to produce. Here’s the
“recipe” if you’d like to make your own: include a big fat heading reading “Statement of Delinquency” that catches anyone’s attention. Then include the name of the responsible party, services rendered and, of course, the amount due. Finally, be sure to add a couple lines that mention what you will do if the balance is not paid and how the delinquency will be cancelled if payment is received in 10 days.
