About This Automation

Patient payment collection involves reviewing overdue balances, confirming what is truly owed, and following up until payment is received. Handled manually, it consumes significant staff time and often delays payment for weeks.

The automated version reviews balances daily, sends timely reminders, and matches payments to invoices without manual entry. This shortens the time to payment and frees billing staff for other work.

Key features
Scans accounts receivable daily to identify overdue patient balances automatically
Confirms true balances after insurance and copay adjustments post
Sends personalized email and text reminders without manual drafting
Logs every reminder and payment touchpoint in one shared record
Flags unresolved balances for a follow up call
Matches incoming payments to open invoices automatically

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Invoice Overduetrigger

An invoice crosses its due date unpaid, starting the collection sequence automatically.

2. Aging Report Flags Account

The automation pulls the current aging data and confirms the balance is owed after insurance and copay adjustments.

3. Send Reminder Email

A personalized reminder with the balance and payment link is sent from the practice's account.

4. Send SMS Reminder

A short text reminder goes out if the balance is still open after the email.

5. Payment Reconciliation Checks

The automation checks for a matching payment and prepares the reconciliation entry.

6. Call Patient For Unpaid Balance

If no payment lands within 7 days, the billing coordinator makes a personal call to resolve the balance.

7. Update Payment Record

The confirmed payment is matched to the open invoice and the balance is closed out.
