It is important to identify the reason of the call to be able to provide the best assistance as soon as possible and in the most accurate way.

 

For instance, if patient is receiving a bill from a pharmacy or laboratory, we would not be able to help them because we do not handle third party billing information.

 

That's why is really important for you to ask yourself these questions before you continue with the call

Who is calling?

(Pt, laboratoy, insurance)

​

If not a patient, where are they calling from?

​

What do they need?

​

Is this regarding one of our clinics?
