How is Your Customer Service?

Even if you have the right insurance, what if some or many patients end up deciding to go elsewhere?

There can be a myriad of reasons for such events to take place. Of most notice would be when your customer service efforts are lacking.

That said it is good to review your customer service on a regular basis.

Among the things to focus in on:

• Are you providing patients with top-notch service? If not, how can you improve this?
• Are some or many patients having continual billing issues with your practice?
• Do patients feel as if they are only a number when they come in? That is they are not getting the personal service they deserve?
• Do you do a good job of answering patient questions be they in-person or over the phone?

By making sure you give your patients the best service, there is less of a chance many of them will go elsewhere.

Finally, look around at your practice and the conditions patients are forced with.

Given the coronavirus outbreak in 2020, more patients are fixated on their well-being.

If you have a practice that is not organized and not the cleanest one around, it can present a negative image. That image can be hard for some patients to get out of their minds.

In the event word gets around that your practice is not organized and clean, you can see a dip in patients.
