Why Choose Cedar Financial for Healthcare Collections?

When it comes to medical debt collection agencies, you have choices. However, the wrong choice could put your practice and patient relationships at risk.

At Cedar Financial, we believe that your success is our success. That’s why we go the extra mile to provide the most comprehensive, professional service in the industry.

Collect in All 50 U.S. States and 170 Countries

No matter where your patient is located, we’ve got you covered. Headquartered in California, Cedar Financial is licensed to collect anywhere in the United States, with access to a worldwide network of nationally licensed debt collectors.

An ACA International and TCM Group partner, we adhere to the highest ethical, professional and customer service standards in the industry, including HIPAA and FDCPA requirements.

Local Offices Deliver Higher International Success Rates

We have spent the last 30 years vetting our powerful network of international collection agency partners. These local agents are familiar with the language, culture, and laws of your patients for more effective dispute resolution and cross-border debt recovery.

Specialized Collections Team Guides Patients to Payment

Our skilled bill collectors understand the ins and outs of complex billing processes. We guide your patients along their journey to payment by educating them about their bills, removing potential obstacles and providing options for easy payment.

The result? A positive payment experience and faster recovery of your funds.

People-First Approach Increases Patient Satisfaction and Revenue

Past-due bills often hit people at the lowest times in their lives. Aggressive collections can alienate patients more, putting your funds and reputation at risk.
At Cedar Financial, we believe a human approach gets better results – and patients agree!

By treating every patient with dignity and respect, we build a relationship of trust, making it more likely that they will pay when they have the means.

Tailored Communications for Better Patient Engagement

Nothing is less inspiring than a generic demand for payment written in “legalese.”

At Cedar Financial, we make every contact count, crafting our letters, emails, and phone scripts to fit patient-, client- and industry-specific needs. We greet patients by name, proactively address disputes and provide easy options in a soft language your patient will understand.

Digital Channels Increase Patient Response

Today’s consumers don’t like talking on the phone or opening mail – yet most collections are still done only through traditional channels.

With easy self-service options, patients can pay on their own time, or contact us on their channel of choice for extra support.

State-of-the-Art Collection Technologies

Want to maximize A/R, but don’t have the capital for new technology? Let us handle it instead!

We are constantly investing in the latest innovations for superior communications, compliance, and collections.

HIPAA-Compliant Quality Assurance Built In

We know quality matters to you. That’s why everything we do has quality controls built in.

Cedar Financial is a full-service debt collection agency. No matter what stage your accounts receivables are in, we can help.

“No Win – No Fee” Contingency Rates

– John R.

“I can tell you that you are one of the nicest debt collectors I’ve ever worked with. I know this isn’t an easy job, and it’s pretty thankless, but you always have a smile in your voice and you really make everything smooth and easy.”

– William B.

“You hear a lot of things about collections agencies being ‘bad’ or ‘aggressive,’ but I did not experience any of these alleged negative attributes. [Collector] was professional, courteous, respectful and very student with me. I kind of want to put myself in a similar situation just so I can work with you again (joking obviously).”

– Frances S.

“Thanks for your patience, understanding and ability to NOT be an overzealous bill collector.  It really helped.”

– Ekta T.

“The debt collector who called me was incredibly polite to work with. He worked with my ability to pay back and was respectful. I never felt that my dignity was undermined in any way through our entire interaction. I hope he stays this way and the company does too.”

– Marlene H.

“It’s amazing how when someone’s job isn’t done it can become a huge issue for others. Thanks for taking the pressure off me by handling the last bits yourself – it made a big difference to me.”
