Epic EHR: Best-Practice Debt-Collection Workflow

Midwest Service Bureau helps Epic users recover 27% more patient balances with specialized workflows designed for Epic’s MyChart integration

Epic EHR’s comprehensive platform generates significant patient responsibility amounts, especially with high-deductible health plans. However, Epic’s built-in collection tools often fall short of professional debt recovery standards. Midwest Service Bureau has developed Epic-specific workflows that leverage MyChart patient engagement while adding professional collection expertise to recover more revenue faster.

Epic EHR Collection Pain Points

  • MyChart messages get buried in patient portals without follow-up

  • Staff lack time to make effective collection calls while managing Epic workflows

  • Epic’s reporting doesn’t provide actionable collection intelligence

  • Integration challenges with external collection agencies

  • Patient payment portal abandonment rates exceed 60%
