Patient balances now make up a larger share of what providers actually collect, and most business offices were never staffed for the follow-up that requires. Magellan Solutions works your self-pay accounts in your name, as an extension of your business office — statements, calls, payment plans, and financial assistance routing — during the window when a balance is still resolvable by conversation. Accounts that do not resolve come back to you, not to a collection agency.

The Longer a Patient Balance Sits, the Harder It Is to Resolve
Self-pay follow-up competes for the same business office staff who are working claims and payer denials — and claims usually win, because they are worth more per account. Balances age in the meantime, and an older balance is a harder conversation: the visit is less recent, the bill less recognizable, the patient less sure what it is for. Early-out puts dedicated capacity on those accounts while they are still resolvable, without pulling anyone off payer work.
If your self-pay AR days are climbing while your team is heads-down on payer follow-up, that is the gap this service fills.

Unlock Outsourcing Potential
An Omnichannel Approach to Every Conversation
Our healthcare early-out collections services ensure patients receive automated text message reminders that connect straight to safe, mobile-friendly self-service payment pages. Our early-out collections healthcare approach helps patients address balances promptly while providing convenient payment options. Patients opening a billing portal can click a live chat link to inquire about their statement right away. Patients also receive phone calls to talk about balances and negotiate flexible payment terms. Finally, patients receive electronic billing statements via email with click-to-pay options and clear explanations of medical charges.
Our Healthcare Early-Out Collections Capabilities
Magellan Solutions offers healthcare early-out collections services that proactively resolve patient balances early in the revenue cycle. Our healthcare early-out collections services emphasize reasonable, customer-service-focused outreach with flexible payment options for patients' convenience and satisfaction. Our early-out medical collections support helps healthcare organizations address outstanding balances before they become more difficult to resolve.
Why Healthcare Organizations Outsource Early-Out Collections Services
Healthcare organizations understand the importance of resolving bills within the first 1 to 90 days so they won’t have to chase payments. Aggressive debt collection never works, so healthcare organizations use gentle, proactive communication instead to protect patient relationships. Finally, healthcare organizations know the hassle of having overdue bad debt, so outsourcing becomes a viable, cost-effective solution.
Where Our Scope Ends
Early-out is not collections. Accounts are worked in your name, before your financial assistance screening is complete, and inside your policy. Nothing is reported to a credit bureau. No legal action is taken. No account is sold, referred, or escalated to a third party without your instruction — accounts we cannot resolve come back to you, not to someone else. Where a patient may qualify for financial assistance, the account routes to your financial counselling team rather than continuing in the outreach cycle.
Accounts that reach genuine bad debt are a different service with a different regulatory footing — see bad debt collection.
Compliance and Data Security, Built In
We know that outsourcing healthcare early-out collections means trusting someone else with patient data — and that trust is only worth extending to a partner who can show its safeguards. Magellan Solutions operates under certified security standards, documented confidentiality policies, and business continuity planning that keep protected health information secure.
Magellan holds ISO 27001 and PCI-DSS certification, with HIPAA-aligned processes under signed Business Associate Agreements in the US and Australian Privacy Principles compliance in Australia. See our certifications.

Network and IT infrastructure sits in secured, IT-only locations. Workstations and servers are password-protected across access levels, and physical data-entry points are disabled to prevent unauthorized transfer.
Every employee signs a confidentiality agreement before job assignment — subject to Philippine law and prosecutable on breach. Access to your data is limited to the team working your account.
Continuous data backup with off-site copies, a co-location plan with a backup center outside a 10-mile radius, and power-blackout protection — so patient support doesn't stop when circumstances change.
