I don’t want to upset my secretary, what should I do?

On many occasions, we have found that secretaries are in fact pleased to have the invoicing and collection responsibility outsourced to a specialist company, leaving them free to focus on the clinical side of your practice.

As practices grow, secretaries have less time to spend on billing as, quite rightly, ensuring the patients are taken care of takes precedence.

We recommend having an open discussion with your secretary as it might surprise you how they feel. We have a good relationship with our consultants’ secretaries, working in partnership with them to support medical professionals.
