Trusted by Organizations Nationwide
From rural critical-access hospitals to Fortune 500 corporations, organizations of every size rely on MSB to recover their outstanding receivables
Deep Industry Expertise Across Every Sector We Serve
With over 55 years of experience, MSB has developed specialized knowledge and tailored collection strategies for each industry we serve. Our teams understand the unique regulations, billing workflows, and debtor dynamics of your sector.
Healthcare & Medical Collections
Healthcare debt collection demands a careful balance between recovering revenue and maintaining patient relationships. MSB's healthcare division handles collections for hospitals, health systems, physician groups, ambulance services, and behavioral health providers. We maintain strict HIPAA compliance across every touchpoint and integrate directly with all major EHR platforms including Epic, Cerner, athenahealth, and MEDITECH. Our early-out programs intervene before accounts become delinquent, improving recovery rates while preserving patient satisfaction scores. We also navigate the complexities of the No Surprises Act, balance billing regulations, and state-specific patient protections to ensure every communication is fully compliant.
Commercial & B2B Collections
Business-to-business collections require a different approach than consumer debt recovery. MSB's commercial division specializes in recovering unpaid invoices, trade credit balances, and contract disputes for manufacturers, distributors, professional service firms, and technology companies. We understand that preserving business relationships is often as important as recovering the debt itself. Our commercial collectors are trained in negotiation techniques that prioritize resolution and maintain goodwill between trading partners. We handle accounts ranging from $500 to $5 million and can escalate to legal action when voluntary payment is not forthcoming.
Municipal & Government Collections
Government agencies face unique challenges in debt recovery — from political sensitivities and public transparency requirements to strict procurement rules and constituent relations. MSB's municipal division works with cities, counties, water authorities, electric cooperatives, and state agencies to recover delinquent utility bills, fines, fees, and overpayments. We comply with all government-specific regulations, including open records requirements and sovereign immunity considerations. Our reporting formats are designed for government finance departments and can be customized to meet audit requirements and council reporting schedules.
Education Collections
Educational institutions deal with unpaid tuition, housing charges, library fines, parking tickets, and student loan obligations. MSB's education division is experienced in FERPA-compliant collections that respect student privacy while recovering institutional revenue. We work with universities, community colleges, trade schools, and K-12 districts. Our approach recognizes that former students may become future donors and community leaders — so every interaction is professional, empathetic, and designed to maintain the institution's reputation in the community.
