Dental And Medical Collection Legal Guidelines
Every medical and dental practice has to deal with patients who do not pay. If it doesn't deal with such patients, the costs will simply be passed on to other patients - the practice may simply suffer or fold.Yet the very real dental and medical collection laws issues mean you should think carefully before reminding your patients to pay up. In the end, you may very well be better off outsourcing your medical or dental accounts receivables to one of the new medical and dental collection agency/accounts payable processing centers.According to the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act (FDCPA), your medical or dental billing notices fall under essentially the same regulations as a mega-bank's car loan collections.Real-World Medical and Dental Debt Collection Law QuandariesAnne, a secretary at Westville
Orthopedic Associates, calls up a patient who just turned 18, to remind him of an outstanding copayment. The patient's mother answers the telephone. Should Anne: - Take the issue of the co-payment up with the patient's mother?
- Leave a message with the patient's mother to remind the patient of the outstanding co-payment?
- Leave a message for the patient to call the Westville Orthopedic Associates back?
- Say she will call back later and quickly hang up?
All but one of the four options above will be a violation of federal debt collections law. Can you guess which one? The correct course of action is option number 3. Why are the others illegal? Look at each of the options above: - It is illegal to disclose a debt to a third party.
- See number one
