Main Takeaways:

A balance past 31 days is overdue. Address it ASAP!
Be proactive. The older the balance, it’s harder to collect.
Have a strong financial policy so patients know what to expect.
You can't fix what you don't measure. Be sure to know your numbers.
Document a system and create a plan. Otherwise, you're being reactive.
Work the plan you created. If you don't implement them, they're sure to fail.
