Managing patient balances before they become problematic is the key to optimizing revenue and maintaining trust. Our Early-Out & Self-Pay Collections program helps providers recover outstanding balances early in the revenue cycle—without compromising the patient experience.
With rising deductibles and out-of-pocket expenses, self-pay balances now account for a significant portion of revenue risk. Delaying outreach often results in lower recovery and patient dissatisfaction. MSB’s early-out patient collections model helps mitigate this by:
Engaging patients early—right after insurance payments or denial
Maintaining a friendly, non-threatening tone
Reducing the likelihood of bad debt placement
Improving recovery rates—up to 35% increase compared to traditional methods
Our agents are trained to serve as an extension of your brand, using your practice name and tone to ensure consistency across every interaction. Whether by phone, letter, or digital outreach, patients experience a unified, respectful, and professional approach.
Our early-out patient collections services include:
Outbound phone campaigns
Statement generation and delivery
Support for online payment portals
Email and SMS outreach
We understand the importance of balancing revenue recovery with maintaining your practice’s reputation. That’s why our early-out patient collections process is fully compliant with HIPAA, FDCPA, and all applicable state regulations—ensuring every patient interaction is handled with care, confidentiality, and professionalism.
