The SCDA is pleased to announce a new member benefit program through our endorsement of TekCollect.

TekCollect offers a comprehensive, web-based accounts receivable management program that's designed to improve your practice's cash flow, eliminate the internal efforts required to collect on delinquent accounts and minimize slow-pays, delinquencies and write-offs.

TekCollect is offering their easy-to-use, results-driven Binary Collection Program to all SCDA members with exclusive benefits, including:

• Reduced fees.  Why pay a 33-50% contingent collection fee when TekCollect offers a one time flat fee of generally less than 10%?  SCDA members receive a 20% discount!
• Completely web-based service.  Accounts can be placed, updated and audited online, on a password-protected site, 24-hours a day, seven days a week. You can review all collection activity and access monthly reports to ensure you remain in control of your accounts at all times.
• Professional contacts.  Contacts are custom-designed to promote immediate payment and prevent patient alienation. These include phone communications by industry specialists and attorney involvement when warranted.
• Free Accounts Receivable Analysis.  TekCollect will conduct an Accounts Receivable Analysis, at no charge and no obligation, to assess the current status of your accounts receivable and recommend the best solution.

Don't delay!  I urge you to review TekCollect's advantages over conventional collection agencies and start improving your cash flow immediately.  To receive your free Accounts Receivable Analysis and learn more about how the Binary Collection Program can significantly improve your bottom line, please contact Susan Rackcliff at 1-866-652-6500 ext. 574 or via e-mail at susan.rackcliff@tekcollect.com.
