What's included

Collections and Administration, Off Your Plate

Synchramed follows up medical aid short payments and rejected claims as actively as patient debt, because a claim that’s been underpaid or rejected is revenue you’ve already earned. Every query is prioritised and worked by a dedicated credit controller, rather than a call centre script.

Electronic remittances

We reconcile remittances on a daily basis.

Medical aid rejections

We prioritise medical aid remittance rejections and make sure they are actioned weekly.

PMB claims

We know exactly what actions to take, and how to get medical aids to pay PMB claims.

Patient liable accounts

We diligently follow up on patient liable accounts with phone calls, emails, SMSes and WhatsApp messages. The process is driven by our custom-built, in-house collection software, ensuring every account is actioned.

Bank statements

We reconcile payments daily.

Monthly reporting

Clear monthly reporting, so you always know where your collections stand.

Good choice! Let the experts handle your billing.

Outsourced Billing covers billing, reconciliation and collections on your behalf, end to end.

FAQs

Still have a question?

Speak to someone who understands medical practices.

What does Synchramed's outsourced collections service include?

Outstanding account follow-up on your existing billing, medical aid query and short-payment resolution, and monthly reporting on debtor days and collections performance, with a dedicated account manager.

Does Synchramed handle medical aid debt collection as well as patient debt?

Yes. We follow up medical aid short payments, rejected claims and unpaid patient accounts, prioritising what’s actually recoverable rather than filing it away.

Do I need to switch practice management software to use outsourced collections?

No. After a full assessment you will be advised if you need to change systems or not. It all depends on the outcome of the practice assessment.

How is outsourced collections different from outsourced billing?

With outsourced collections, you continue billing in-house and we manage collections, medical aid queries and administration. With outsourced billing, our dedicated billing team also handles the billing itself.

Most practices leak revenue somewhere.
