Tactics to Speed Patient Payments in an Unhealthy Economy
A January 28, 2009 webinar will provide practical strategies, techniques and tools to improve patient collections without alienating patients.
January 9, 2009
MANASQUAN, NJ, USA — Many hospitals, physician practices and other provider organizations are watching their bad debt increase due to the current financial crisis and the tendency of employers to shift more healthcare costs to consumers. As high-deductible and consumer-driven health plans proliferate, even insured patients are paying healthcare bills more slowly, if at all. The processes and technologies that providers need to revitalize revenue cycles will be presented during a January 28, 2009 webinar, "Improving Patient Collections in an Unhealthy Economy: Technologies and Processes to Speed Payments."
The 90-minute webinar, scheduled for 1:30 p.m. Eastern on January 28, 2009, is sponsored by the Healthcare Intelligence Network.
