About this book

How to Collect a Doctor Bill is a practical and insightful guide written by Frank Farrington, first published in 1912, aimed at physicians and medical professionals seeking effective strategies for managing and collecting payments for their services. Drawing from real-world experience and a deep understanding of the challenges faced by doctors in securing compensation, the book offers a comprehensive approach to the business side of medical practice. Farrington addresses the common difficulties encountered in collecting fees, such as patient reluctance, social discomfort, and the delicate balance between maintaining professional relationships and ensuring financial stability. The book is structured to provide step-by-step advice, beginning with the importance of establishing clear office policies and setting expectations with patients from the outset. It emphasizes the necessity of keeping accurate records, sending timely bills, and following up persistently yet courteously. Farrington discusses the psychology of debtors, offering tips on how to communicate effectively and diplomatically to encourage prompt payment without alienating patients. He also explores the legal aspects of debt collection, including the use of contracts, promissory notes, and, when necessary, legal action. Throughout, How to Collect a Doctor Bill is filled with anecdotes, sample letters, and practical forms that can be adapted to various situations. The book not only serves as a manual for improving collections but also as a broader commentary on the evolving relationship between doctors and their patients in the early twentieth century. It encourages physicians to view their practice as both a profession and a business, advocating for fair compensation while maintaining the highest ethical standards. This timeless resource remains relevant for anyone interested in the intersection of medicine, business, and human nature.
