title: Provide a service ... then get paid.
abstract: Receiving payment at the time of dental treatment may be a new--even foreign--concept to dentists today. But more and more practices are finding it necessary to enforce such payment policies to keep a practice viable. Sometimes, it's just a matter of establishing policies within a practice; in other cases, it pays to enlist the services of a dental financing company for patient collections.
