HOW A COLLECTION AGENCY’S REPUTATION AFFECTS YOUR DIGITAL FOOTPRINT

In today’s digital world, information is consistently at the tip of our fingers. If you’re looking for any service or product, you go online, read the reviews, and base your decisions on what you discover.

Collection agencies with low BBB ratings often have less than stellar reputations – and that can translate to how your patients see your practice. If your patient reads negative reviews about them, they directly associate and align them with you and your healthcare group. The brands are intertwined, and their blemished record can quickly become yours.

Reviews can also help shine a light on that collection agency’s standard operating procedures and how they are treating patients. The way a collection agency handles patients directly reflects the opinions and feelings those patients will have about your healthcare group. So, if you hire an agency that’s anything less than polite, empathetic, and professional, client relations could be severely affected.

When choosing a collection agency, you might be tempted to go for a lower-rated option, thinking that it would be the cheaper alternative. But, you should know that hiring a collection agency with a low BBB rating can negatively affect your practice and, it may end up costing you more in the long run.

How? When your patients have a negative experience, they most likely won’t reference the collection agency but will instead leave a bad review about your healthcare group. These negative reviews can negatively affect your group’s reputation and may cause you to lose out on potential patients.

A highly-rated collection agency can help you recover the outstanding debt while simultaneously helping your healthcare group decrease operating costs, increase cash flow, lower overhead, and streamline the revenue cycle process.
