title: Courting a better bottom line with probate recovery.
abstract: The probate process is a way to recover hospital payment while respecting the feelings of the patient's loved ones and protecting the hospital's reputation and bottom line. A healthcare organization's probate strategy could include internal staff who are dedicated to this process or outsourcing to specialists in probate recovery. Several strategies, including setting up a system for flagging the records of a person who has died within a provider's facility, can be used to recover payment from estate accounts.
