When you're a freelance anaesthetist, every minute counts. Between consultations, operations and coordination with the medical teams, there is little time left for administrative matters. However, billing and payment issues can quickly become a real headache - when you work in sector 2 and patients have a balance to pay after being reimbursed by health insurance and their mutual insurance company.<\/p>

In many cases, however, the remaining costs are neither anticipated nor clearly explained to the patient. The result: you end up with late payments, patients who don't understand why they still have to pay something, and fees that don't come in. And it's often your secretaries who have to spend time reminding, explaining and dealing with disputes...<\/p>

Here's how you can avoid wasting time and money, without adding to your daily routine.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

In many facilities, the management of out-of-pocket expenses is unclear to patients: they imagine that everything is covered or that the clinic takes care of everything. When a bill for anaesthetic fees arrives later, often by post or email, it may be perceived as a mistake... or simply ignored.<\/p>

From the practitioner's point of view, this means reminders, phone calls, oversights and unpaid bills. All for an amount that is often not insignificant over the course of a year.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Secure payments upstream, without having to collect in advance<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The idea is not to transform the patient relationship into a commercial relationship. It is simply a question of structuring payment management<\/strong>so that everyone knows what to expect.<\/p>

By filing a bank imprint<\/strong> before the operation, you get a clear guarantee. It's not an immediate debit, but a commitment: once the reimbursements have been made, you can collect only what the patient actually has to pay. All without any additional intervention, recalculation or reminders.<\/p>

It saves you and your medical secretaries an enormous amount of time.<\/p>

Solutions such as\u00a0Swikly<\/a>\u00a0are used to automate this security process: in just a few clicks, the impression is sent to the patient, who completes the procedure remotely.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Groups such as the\u00a0Clinique du Parc<\/a>\u00a0in Lyon <\/strong>or the\u00a0Clinique Pasteur<\/a>\u00a0in Toulouse<\/b> have already implemented this type of solution. Their aim: to streamline the process, avoid losses and allow practitioners to concentrate on their core business.<\/p>
