  Frequently Asked Questions by Healthcare Facilities:

1. How is QUE Financial different from collection agencies?
We use patient-friendly, non-abrasive, methods that remind your patients of their obligations, encouraging and assisting them in developing payment solutions. Additionally, we work every account equally and effectively in the early stages to prevent your current accounts from going into bad debt. This also reduces the number of accounts moving to payment arrangement.

2. Why does outsourcing my self-pay accounts receivables make sense?
Hospital financial managers are being asked to do much more with limited resources. Outsourcing your self-pay accounts allows your staff more time to focus on the important front-end processes, thereby streamlining your entire accounts receivable process allowing for more efficient and effective results. Outsourcing to a successful and trustworthy company, such as QUE Financial, completely frees you from the burden of self-pay accounts.

3. Why should I use a company who manages only current accounts and not bad debt accounts as well?
By focusing strictly on current accounts we have the incentive to successfully process all accounts equally. Whereas, companies handling both current and bad debt accounts, usually charge more for handling the bad debt accounts which disincentives them from successfully processing the lower compensating current accounts. Additionally, more abrasive and aggressive tactics are necessarily used for collecting bad debts which can unnecessarily upset your quality current account patients if the same staff handles both.

4. How can I be certain you're working all my accounts, and not just the high dollar ones?
QUE Financial uses a state of the art automated telephone dialing system, where account activity occurs as a result of the status of the account, versus the size or quality. You can easily monitor all activities with 24 hour on-line access to your accounts as well as a narrative of all communications with the patient when an account is returned. Additionally, QUE Financial does not compensate our customer service staff based on amounts collected.

5. Can QUE Financial manage accounts as specified by the business office?
Yes, we mirror your business office model. Knowing how your accounts are to be handled, and having the flexibility to quickly modify our off-site system to match your needs, allows us to seamlessly process your accounts. Our system is customized to your individual and specific needs.

6. Do I have to adapt to your procedures, or will you adapt to mine?
A significant part of our success is derived from adapting our system to your specifications. In the initial stages, we gain an in-depth knowledge of your entire operation, and then with your direct assistance, design a system to fit your operation.

7. Does QUE Financial accept data electronically?
Yes, we are capable of receiving data through various means.

8. Is the data transmitted from our facility secured?
Yes, QUE Financial is able to receive encrypted information from hospitals for secure data transfer.

9. How are patient privacy concerns handled?
We hire professional staff members who are trained to manage patient information with the utmost confidentiality. They will only disclose information to the appropriate responsible party. In addition, we stay up-to-date and compliant with industry laws and regulations. Our staff is informed and trained on the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA,) the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, and the Fair Credit Billing Act to protect you and ensure full compliance with the law.

10. Do you have a person answering the phones, or an automated attendant?
Patient calls are answered by our staff who are trained to handle incoming questions and concerns efficiently. Typically the person answering the phone is able to assist the caller without transferring them or placing them on hold.

11. Does QUE Financial post the patient payments or do I?
It depends on your healthcare facility's requirements. Typically, our clients have billing payments sent directly to their business office for posting, but payment arrangement payments are processed by QUE Financial.

12. Do you provide performance reports?
We provide several detailed reports on a monthly, bi-weekly, and weekly basis. Clients can readily access their reports on-line through the secured client section of our website.

13. Who determines statement wording?
Statements are sent in your words, and when you choose. In addition, we offer the ability to phase the statement language depending on the age of the account.

14. Can QUE Financial assist our Spanish-speaking patients?
Absolutely. We have many bilingual staff members who provide excellent communication and service to your Spanish-speaking patients.
