Conventional debt collection includes hiring external collectors to recover debts.
Traditional collection agencies employ experienced debt collection professionals who may be more proficient in handling and managing difficult debtors.
The professionals charge high fees, often a percentage of the collected amount, which can significantly reduce your overall recovery.
This approach is not client-friendly, and the aggressive collection tactics can severely damage client relationships and tarnish your reputation, potentially leading to patient attrition.
It is a highly time-consuming process that leads to delayed revenue recovery.
When it comes to timeliness, the automated collection system takes a proactive approach by targeting past-due accounts early. Their preventative strategy stops accounts from escalating into uncollectible debt.
On the other hand, in the conventional collection method, the professionals start collecting debts when they have significantly exceeded their due dates.
The automation in the Quick Collect system ensures consistent and timely communication with clients. This includes automated reminders, notifications, and payment options, which streamline the debt collection process.
Conversely, the conventional method relies on manual intervention, such as phone calls and physical letters, which can be time-consuming and prone to human errors in documentation and communication.
The automated collection system has a gentler client-centric approach, which preserves goodwill and encourages clients to maintain trust, increasing the likelihood that they will continue their association with the business.
In contrast, conventional collectors may employ aggressive tactics, such as intrusive phone calls or legal threats, which can harm client relationships and tarnish the business’s reputation.
Quick Collect system is a cost-efficient option as most of the process is automated, thus requiring fewer human resources and eliminating high agency fees. This results in cost savings and maximizes the funds recovered.
If you want a more controlled debt recovery process or wish to manage it yourself, the Quick Collect solution can assist you. It offers web-based reporting, allowing you to monitor and make informed decisions about the debt collection process.
Whereas, when collectors are handling debt collection, it will limit your practice’s ability to ability to oversee and manage the process.
Your patients will return to you if you maintain a good reputation. The Quick Collect system helps maintain a positive reputation, ensuring that clients are more likely to continue their relationship with the business.
However, when professionals collect debt, it can potentially damage a business’s reputation, leading to patient attrition and lost business.
Finally, recovery success is a key aspect. The automated Quick Collect solution intervenes early and maintains client goodwill, increasing the chances of a successful recovery.
On the other hand, conventional debt collection’s success rates can vary, with some debts becoming uncollectible due to delays and the use of aggressive and mean tactics.

However, when patients are in a debt spiral, asking for repayment can strain these relationships.
