Section 1692g of the FDCPA says collectors must provide notice to consumers within five days of the initial communication regarding the debt, stating the amount of the debt, the name of the current creditor, and explaining the consumer’s right to dispute the debt and to obtain verification. You might assume that a collector can comply with that section by simply copying the language from the statute into their initial notice to consumers.

We have discussed the important questions to ask when analyzing and selecting a healthcare collections agency and went over some of the keys to finding the right partner for your organization. But once you’ve made your selection, how do you know which accounts should be sent out for collection? And maybe more importantly, how do you know when to suspend your internal collection efforts and send in the experts?

AI is reshaping industries, yet finance remains one of the slowest adopters. Concerns over compliance, legacy systems, and data silos have made finance teams hesitant to embrace AI-driven transformation. But delaying adoption isn’t just about efficiency—it’s about staying competitive in a rapidly evolving landscape. How can finance leaders overcome these challenges and start leveraging AI effectively?

Now is a good time of the year to clear out all the old claims files and get them checked over for possible recovery opportunities. Closed File Audits are a specialist service provided by DRA. Through closed file reviews money is recovered on behalf of a client from insurance claims that have previously been closed. One of the greatest internal expenses experienced by a lot of insurance organisations is claims leakage.

Bursting at the seams! It looks like we may need more room for the growing DRA family. Commencing in December, DRA will be taking on another 100 square metres of space to enlarge their Melbourne offices. Rina Giacchi, Operations Manager says, “We have to service a couple of new clients and we are also getting more auditing work from our existing clients, so we need a separate area for our auditing and skip-tracing staff.

Finance isn’t just about the numbers. It’s about the people behind them. In a world of constant disruption, resilient finance teams aren’t just operationally efficient. They are adaptable, engaged, and deeply connected to a strong organizational culture. Success lies at the intersection of people, culture, adaptability, and resilience. Finance leaders who master this balance will build teams that thrive through uncertainty and drive long-term business impact.

Now that you know how to choose the right healthcare collection agency for your practice, and you understand when to send delinquent patient accounts out for collection , now it’s time to make sure your collections partner is doing their job while also delivering the results they promised. There are a few red flags when working with a healthcare collection agency that can be a sign of bad things to come.

When most doctors or healthcare professionals think of patient collections, they think of the billing processes and procedures initiated after services have been rendered. This typically means placing most of their collection efforts on the back-end stages of the revenue cycle when collecting from patients is often most difficult. But in recent years, in response to the rise of slow-paying, self-pay patients, many medical practices are shifting their collection efforts to the front-end of the re

Analyzing a healthcare collection agency is not a simple task. This is especially true if you are a small to mid-size healthcare facility and are unfamiliar with how collection agencies operate. You might not be aware of the methods collectors use to facilitate payment or may very likely be hesitant to outsource such a sensitive process as patient collections.
Speaker: Susan Richards
Your past-due accounts are growing, cash flow is tightening, and the pressure is on. The big question: Do you handle the collections internally or outsource to experts? Both strategies come with advantages and risks - but which one delivers the best impact for your business? In this session we’ll dive deep into the in-house vs. outsourcing debate, examining cost-effectiveness, efficiency, compliance risks, and overall recovery success rates.

Does a consumer need to be “protected” from repaying his own debts? Can a consumer be “harmed” if he voluntarily makes a payment on a debt that he admittedly owes? The CFPB apparently believes that sometimes the answer is “yes.” The CFPB and the FTC have forcefully argued that debt collectors should make an affirmative disclosure to consumers when they are seeking to collect debts that cannot be judicially enforced, and that the failure to make this disclosure may violate the FDCPA.

The CFPB does not want debt collectors to tell consumers that paying their debts might help them to improve their credit score. Nor does the CFPB want collectors to encourage consumers to pay by informing them that their failure to do so might harm their credit. The Bureau made this point crystal clear in the Bulletin that it issued in July 2013 entitled “ Representations Regarding Effect of Debt Payments on Credit Reports and Scores ” where it claimed that making such statements might amount to

The Dodd-Frank Act gave the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”) sweeping authority to prohibit the use of “unfair, deceptive or abusive” acts or practices (“UDAAPs”) in connection with the collection of consumer debts. These terms are broadly defined to provide the CFPB with maximum flexibility when carrying out its consumer protection mission.
