DOCPAY™ vs Post-Dated Checks
|
| DOCPAY™ |
Post-Dated Checks |
Convenient and Easy to Set Up
There are no checks for the patient to write. A simple authorization form is signed in a matter of seconds and the patient is out the door.
|
Requires the Patient to Sit and Sign Many Checks
If the patient is setting up a 12 month payment plan, they have to tediously fill out twelve different checks. Since checkpads typically only have 25 checks, at least 50% of the time the patient won't even have that many checks with them.
|
Simple Check Reconciliation for the Patient
With DOCPAY, the patient records the payment on a monthly basis along with any other automatic payments such as life insurance. There are no "out of sequence" checks to keep up with.
|
Post-Dated Checks Make the Patient's Monthly Check Reconciliation a Nightmare.
Since the checks are written in sequence, checks remain outstanding for up to a year. This makes monthly balancing of the checkbook a hassle.
|
Professional and Appreciated
Because the practice is presenting a "No Interest" Payment Plan, the patient's impression is one of professionalism and gratitude. Use of DOCPAY Payment Plans removes the feeling of distrust. The patient no longer sees the practice as "the bad guy".
|
Tells the Patient "We Don't Trust You"
When a patient is sitting there writing out check after check, the thought comes to their mind; "This doctor does not trust me to send these payments in and is making me do this". This does NOT build good will with the patient!
