If the question remains why most doctors will not accept cash patients, the answer has nothing to do with security, word games or ignorance. You either have to demand payment in advance, which just goes against our professional grain, or ask afterwards, when you get a million excuses and then have to try to collect later.
Our collection rate on insured and Medicare patients was about 96%, on cash patients about 29%.
