TEKCOLLECT PUTS DOLLARS IN MEMBER’S POCKETS!!!

Tekcollect is changing the way medical practices are handling their account receivables and delinquent accounts management. With over 10,000 doctor’s offices and 20,000 other businesses as clients, Tekcollect offers a low cost-fixed fee pricing structure that guarantees collection from those who are late in paying, or there is no charge.

The company was founded on the philosophy of offering business owners and medical professionals a better alternative to conventional collection agencies. Their clients save up to 75% of what conventional collection agencies charge. Their one time fixed fee reduces the overall cost of collection to less than 10% and their recovery ratio of over 50% is one of the highest in the industry and three times the national average.

TekCollect, Inc. is headquartered in Columbus, OH, and has divisional offices around the nation. They are licensed and authorized to operate in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, giving them nationwide coverage and capability.

As their name implies, they put technology to work to maximize recovery ratios for their clients. But even more importantly, TekCollect is firmly committed to using non-alienating tactics that preserve our clients' image, integrity and patient relationships. All patients are contacted in compliance with state and federal laws including the Fair Debt Collections and Practices Act and HIPPA.

All amounts recovered are paid directly to their clients and Tekcollect provides 24 hour access and monitoring to all their clients.
