		<description>[...] PAYMENTS &#8211; Now is a good time to state your payment policy. What is due at time of service? What kinds of payments do you accept? Do you require a credit card on file? Do you collect deductibles and co-insurance? Surgery or procedure deposit? Fee for no-shows? Fee for forms completion? Fee for NSF checks? Do you give discounts for self-pay patients? Do you have a sliding scale for financial need patients? Do you send statements? One of my big management philosophies is: Don&#8217;t Surprise The Patient. Don&#8217;t think it indelicate to discuss money before the visit. It is a business transaction and it is only fair to let the one paying the bill know and understand your policy upfront before the service has been rendered.

		<description>Greetings Ms. Whaley.
I am currently working on my internship with a medical practice that has been rapidly growing. My project is helping them develop many new P&amp;P&#039;s, some of which are financial P&amp;P&#039;s to have have any insight you can share with an intern?
Respectfully,
