COLLECTION LETTERS

When you submit an account to CCI via MD-COLLECT, your patients will receive up to five collection letters. Each collection letter clearly indicates that Computer Credit, Inc., a debt collector, has been employed by your office and strongly encourages prompt account resolution. The name MD-COLLECT and the internet address www.md-collect.com will not appear on the collection letters. The MD-COLLECT web site serves as an electronic vehicle to submit accounts, as well as manage accounts submitted, to Computer Credit, Inc. for collection. CCI makes every effort to ensure that our collection letters comply with all applicable state and federal laws. 

Furthermore, CCI’s collection representatives are available to quickly respond to debtor inquiries, correspondence and debt validation requests and to answer any questions clients may have about collection procedures and compliance with debt collection laws.

In each letter, patients are instructed to send payments directly to your office for immediate cash posting, or to contact CCI or your staff to discuss the account in question. Most patients appreciate the additional opportunity to clear up past-due accounts before they are designated as bad debts.

Placement of account and creditor information is designed to help you handle incoming questions productively. A credit card information box appears on the payment stub, and a remittance envelope is provided for convenient and efficient mail return.

Design plays a key role in prompting patients to open their mail. CCI mails letters in alternating envelope color and design schemes. We also change the appearance of the collection envelopes every year.

Many patients respond to CCI letters by simply remitting payments to your office. Other patients receiving our collection letters may telephone to discuss their overdue balance, inquire about payment arrangements, or provide necessary insurance information to settle an unpaid claim.
