Frequently asked questions

Find out more about how ARMA is helping more healthcare providers resolve their debts.

How does ARMA collect debt for healthcare clients?

We offer a unique ‘hybrid’ approach to healthcare recoveries, bringing together multi-award winning technology with highly specialised people who are trained and empowered to have genuine, compassionate, and effective conversations to ensure the best outcomes for all parties. Our communication strategy uses optimised digital channels and self-serve capability to improve the customer experience, while freeing up human resources to concentrate their efforts on more complex recovery matters. Our frontline teams are extensively trained across end-to-end healthcare debt recovery management, and our engagement with patients is empathic, respectful, and professional with the goal of finding a mutually beneficial resolution.

Why is ARMA's technology better than traditional debt collection?

A key component of our recovery process is our self-service digital portal. Designed and managed inhouse by our team of 25+ developers, this fully integrated communication, billing and collection solution, which has been specifically customised for medical debt recoveries, has set a new benchmark in the way healthcare providers are able to engage with their customers and benefit from faster resolutions and an improved customer experience.

Why does it make sense for healthcare providers to outsource their debt recovery activities?

For medical and healthcare service providers, outsourcing their debt recovery can make sense for several reasons:

Specialised expertise: Debt recovery requires specific knowledge and expertise in collections and negotiation. By outsourcing to a professional debt recovery agency, like ARMA, healthcare providers can leverage the expertise of experienced professionals who specialise in recovering outstanding medical debts. ARMA has the necessary skills, resources and strategies to effectively handle the debt recovery process.

Cost-effectiveness: Establishing an in-house debt recovery department can be costly in terms of hiring and training staff, setting up infrastructure, and managing ongoing operations. By outsourcing, healthcare providers can save on these costs. Our pricing is flexible and fully transparent, meaning that we can tailor a solution to meet your specific objectives, while giving you full visibility to your ROI at every step in the process.

Time and resource efficiency: Managing debt recovery can be time-consuming and resource-intensive. It requires dedicated efforts to locate customers, initiate contact, negotiate repayment plans, and follow up on payments. By outsourcing these tasks, healthcare providers can free up their internal resources to focus on their core business activities.

Compliance and legal considerations: Debt recovery is subject to various regulations and legal requirements. Outsourcing to a professional agency like ARMA helps ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations governing medical debt collection practices. ARMA has extensive knowledge of relevant all relevant laws, regulations, and best-practice guidelines, and we can navigate the legal aspects of debt recovery more effectively.

Improved recovery rates: ARMA has established processes and techniques to maximise the chances of successfully recovering outstanding healthcare debts. We have access to advanced tools for skip tracing, credit reporting, and collection software, which can help locate hard to find patients and facilitate the recovery process. Our award-wining technology coupled with our experience in negotiation can also lead to higher recovery rates compared to in-house efforts.

Focus on core competencies: Healthcare service providers can focus on their core competencies by outsourcing non-core functions like debt recovery. This allows them to allocate resources and attention to areas where they can add the most value and achieve higher customer satisfaction and retention.
