Know your Collection Agency Rights...from a Collection Agency!

----

Most of the time a person gets "abused" or upset over a collection agency's tactics, it's from a disreputable or very mismanaged collection agency. A legitimate agency will properly train their employees in all aspects of the Federal "FDCPA" or Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. This act was passed by the US Congress in the late 1970's.

BCA Financial Services and their managing director was there when this act was passed and has watched it evolve (via court cases and FTC intrepretations) over the years.

Over 3000 collection agencies in the United States belong to ACA International. This very respected trade association maintains a website to help individuals know their rights. It's called "Ask Doctor Debt."

You can also find Ask Doctor Debt by going to a collection agency's wesbite. Go to BCA Financial Services Consumer Page. There you'll find the link.

Try it.

Merry Christmas.

Just as you wouldn't use this antique "respirator" (from the Evermore Gallery of American Art) on one of your patients, you wouldn't want to apply antique credit and collection methods in your practice.

BCA Financial Services Collection Agency remembers the 1970's when we used a personal computer, Apple II with two floppy 5 1/4" disk drives to record and store our data. Today, even our backup drive is 160 gigabyte.


If your bill is not paid, to protect your practice's financial health, all patients must attempt to either recover your payment from their insurance or make arrangements to pay your bill on their own.

Your medical office can guide BCA Financial Services on a case-by-case basis (if necessary) as to the creditworthiness of your patients, but if you can't, we can, by the most up-to-date means legally at our disposal.

Since the Federal collection laws were enacted in 1978, BCA Financial Services has complied with and kept abreast of various changes and interpretations so we, as well as you, can respect your patients' rights and privacy, while maintaining the perserverance needed to collect your money.
