Consumer Reports: What, no bill’em?
June 20, 2008
Unbiased reporting about the consumers themselves.
It may be hard to believe, but patients all over the country are complaining that dentists aren’t asking them to pay their bills anymore.
For many years, consumers have taken advantage of dental practices’ good will by just “paying when they could” for their dental care. Unfortunately for many offices, this resulted in the expenses of staff time, mailing repeated statements, and simply writing off debts that were never paid.
Now that healthcare financing has come to the market, Consumer Reports (July 2008 issue) is pointing fingers at CareCredit, the Citi Health Card, Chase HealthAdvance, CapitalOne Healthcare Finance, and the dental providers themselves for allegedly taking advantage of the doctor-patient relationship.
