Offering financial assistance to newly uninsured patients.

As businesses cut jobs and benefits including health insurance, patients may come to your practice with financial problems in addition to their medical ones. Assisting these patients without hurting your practice requires a little prevention and preplanning and some extra attention from your office staff. The good news is that the policies and procedures you put in place during these tough times will lay a foundation for the future that allows you to provide comprehensive services while protecting your practice’s finances and complying with billing regulations.
