Companies using incentive programs reported a 79% success rate

Statistic Info

To motivate your staff about improving collections, offer incentives to get employees encouraged to properly manage denied claims and payments. Set up an incentive program in which employees are motivated to boost the office’s collection rate.

Annual revenue increases are 3 times higher in companies that use a tangible sales incentive over those that don’t use an additional incentive. When incentive programs are working, the potential for growth is much, much higher.
