Because many patients don’t pay the entire amount that is owed at the time of service, you are left carrying the outstanding balance. If you only send out billing statements on a weekly or monthly basis—and especially if you do so via printed mail—your cash flow in this respect slows to a trickle (plus the added cost of mailing statements increases your financial burden). Dentrix Ascend Online Payments is a feature of eStatements that can help you collect from patients faster and improve your cash flow.
* A World Pay account and card readers must be purchased separately from your Dentrix Ascend subscription.
