collection practice overview
Our attorneys will work with your business to tailor a collection strategy which will utilize a hybrid of third party collection techniques and litigation in order to maximize debt recovery. To provide our clients with the best possible service we employ an in-house developed collections software system, a wide array of skip-tracing tools for cross-referencing, and a call center managed by experienced debt collection attorneys and staff.
Schettine & Nguyen provides creditors “one stop shopping” for all their collection and litigation needs. For many clients, the use of litigation to recover accounts receivables from debtors causes some fear and trepidation. We understand that you do not want to alienate, embarrass, or lose customers by suing them. We exercise the utmost care to treat all debtors with the respect and professional courtesy they deserve. Through our experience and time-tested collection techniques, the recovery of accounts receivables on your behalf need not be contentious to be effective.
A common misconception is that the use of a law firm to recover accounts receivables costs more due to the many legal avenues it takes in collecting the debt. This belief is simply false. In most cases, all of the costs associated with the recovery of accounts receivables will be deferred to the debtor including court filing costs, garnishment costs, and attorneys’ fees. Our firm will review, and if necessary, amend any applicable contracts or forms to ensure such a result for your business. Schettine & Nguyen stands ready to assist you in preserving and strengthening the financial success of your business.
health care debt collection
Whether you are a member of a large medical or dental practice group, or a solo practitioner, as a health care professional you have spent years learning the latest advances and techniques in order to provide your patients with the highest quality care. Unfortunately, high quality patient care in itself does not translate to financial success. A thriving practice also needs to collect its accounts receivables in order to be financially sound. The obvious juxtaposition is that the more time you spend trying to collect aging accounts receivables, the less time you have for your patients.
Schettine & Nguyen currently represents numerous medical and dental practice groups throughout the Commonwealth of Virginia. We are able to handle the collection needs of the largest medical offices and hospitals, but welcome and provide legal collection services to medical and dental practices of all sizes.
We understand that your patients are your livelihood; therefore our attorneys and staff are committed to recovering your outstanding debts quickly, efficiently, and amicably.
Schettine & Nguyen can protect the financial strength and integrity of your medical or dental practice by assisting you and your staff in the collection of accounts receivables, thus leaving you time to focus on what really matters— high quality patient care.
