Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Sometimes patient account balances remain unpaid, even following placement with a third party for collection (primary placement). Reassignment of the account for collection to another third party (secondary placement) offers the patient accounts manager another opportunity to gain the balance due, but there are several factors to consider when making the decision for secondary placement. |
