How does American Financial Services work? |
|
When a patient wants your
treatment and needs to make
monthly payments, you can allow them
to do so. Simply submit to AFS the total production
for the week that resulted from granting credit and we
will deposit the cash
for that production in your account.

Why would I want to finance patients?
(And
what if my advisors/consultants say no?) |
|
The primary reason is that more patients will be able
to afford your best treatment! You've
already spent a lot of time and money on staffing,
supplies, equipment, overhead, exams,
treatment, planning, etc. If you don't
make your treatment plans financially
possible for patients, they won't even
begin treatment (or they may go to
someone else who will). You then risk losing all
that you've invested in attracting and
handling that patient!

Is using the AFS Patient-Financing System
complicated? |
|
Absolutely not! AFS provides you and
your staff with a simple and
easy-to-understand process from a
personal representative at the other end of
your toll-free call who will provide you
with all the training needed to have
you on your way to achieving your
practice goals.

What will the AFS Patient-Financing System
cost? |
|
The AFS service fee is approximately
2.5% of production. (The rate is based
on volume so may vary slightly per
office.)

Do ALL my patients have to be financed?
Will
AFS work with other financing companies? |
|
Patient-financing is made available to
meet the specific needs of those
patients who do not have adequate
insurance coverage or necessary cash
available to pay at the time of
service. About 60% of your patients
will fall into the category of needing
or wanting monthly payments to afford
treatment. Other third-party financing
companies have far lower acceptance
rates but AFS is designed to assist
virtually any patient who walks into
your practice or compliment any other
financing program. (Not all patients
need or want financing.)

How does AFS achieve my collections? |
|
AFS performs two services included
with our patient-financing program.
The first is making evening and
weekend calls to your past-due patient
accounts. The second is
investigating past-due insurance
claims, i.e. finding out what
insurance has not paid and taking action to
get the insurance company to pay
promptly.

|
Does AFS charge interest to my patients? |
|
No, AFS does not charge interest, but
your patients expect to pay interest
when credit is extended. You have the
option of charging interest or not,
and the interest is yours to keep.
This can be a great source of
additional income/profit for you.

What happens if an account is uncollectible? |
|
AFS currently collects more than 98%
of accounts financed. An account is
deemed uncollectible when both you and
AFS agree that all means of pursuing
the account have been exhausted.
