We have been told our registration clerks will be starting to collect insurance co-pays from pt's after services are rendered. Just wondering if any other ER's out there are doing this and how it is working. I can foresee alot of problems with this for people are not used to having to put out any money at the time of the ER visit. The hospital is apparently not succesfully recouping this money in their billing process. Any information would be appreciated. thanks
