Pre-Registration and
Pre-Service Collections
Secure patient financial responsibility and payment details prior to appointments or services.
Overview
Managing pre-registration and pre-service collections effectively is crucial for providing a positive patient experience and avoiding frustration. However, the lack of transparency in pricing and variability in patient financial responsibility adds complexity to the process. With clear information about the cost of care prior to the time of service, patients can make more informed decisions, significantly improving the ability to collect proper payment in advance.
AGS Health streamlines patient registration by gathering essential information in advance to improve pre-service collections and obtain upfront financial payments. Effective communication and simplified procedures for reviewing patient financial responsibility help reduce claim denials and ensure timely payment for services.
