Eh, I’d welcome better payment processes in health care. I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve been past due even though I had the money, just cuz the payment portal is a mess.

I just ignore everyone until I get the final notice. Fuck them they will get my money at the last possible moment.

Bassett in NY did ya one better. They contracted with a debt collection company for all bill processing and the payment portal is a total mess.
