Richard,
The problem with that is if you send them a bill, they pay with a check.
Obviously one way around this is for the billing person to figure what each
patient's responsibility is and require payment up front - do you do that?

However nothing bad occurs if these patients are reported to a collection
agency nor if you get a judgement against them...unless you place a lien
against their home. Then you have to wait until they want to sell. A
negative credit report from a hospital or physician's office does not
negatively effect a credit rating.
We do not accept checks. Period. Cash, credit cards or money orders.
