Telling Your Patients About Online Payments (Balance Collect)

Before patients can begin making online payments, they need to know about their new payment option. Many patients embrace online payments right away, while some have follow-up questions. We recommend proactively communicating with your patients to introduce online payments and to provide answers to commonly asked questions.

Flyers at the front desk and/or checkout station or an email announcement are all effective ways to inform patients. The language can be simple–use the example intro below to get started and include either all or some of the FAQs.
