This program focuses on delinquency prevention by enabling the practice to blemish credit ratings at the three main credit bureaus. Patients who can afford to pay but don’t are responsive to this.

Delinquent payments are made directly to the clinic without collections fees.

The company provides means for speeding insurance reimbursements and other useful guidelines for a range of collections issues.

The service is $49.95 per month per clinic. The setup charge ($499) is waived for members, and the first two monthly payments are refundable if not satisfied.
