Second Placement Collections

We are the ideal agency to offer a fresh approach to your aged accounts receivable, no matter what the size of the account. The chance to have another agency re-work your accounts gives you an opportunity to collect on accounts that are no longer being worked to the same level as when the account was first listed, and it gives you one more chance to get a return on those accounts.

Contract Management

In this billing service, we monitor your pre-existing payment agreement with the patient, based on set payments each week, month, year, etc. We send monthly payment reminders to the patient, monitor compliance with the agreement, and notify you if a payment is missed. You determine the reporting period, which can range from bi-weekly to annually. Contract Management is for long-term payment of debts; that is, for many relatively small payments on a large amount. CBM charges a fee per notice sent, or a percent of the amount collected.
