Patient complaint rateWhy Work with a Medical Collection Agency?
You’re in the business of healthcare, not medical collections. But your practice needs cash flow to pay staff, suppliers, rent, and the many costs associated with a medical practice. When your patients neglect to pay, your business suffers. A medical collection agency handles the work you don’t want to do. In addition to medical collections, we also offer pre-collection services. Outsource your busy work to the experts.
The Only Medical Collection Agency with a P.H.D.
Summit’s team has over 28 years of experience in medical collections and a solid grasp on the nuances of insurance reimbursement. But what makes us truly different is our compassion. Through our “P.H.D. Philosophy” (Preserve Human Dignity), we let patients know you’re serious about getting paid while still treating them with courtesy and respect. Kindness is our recipe for (your) success.
A Name You Can Trust
Summit A•R is proud to be rated A+ by the Better Business Bureau, and a member in good standing of ACA International and the International Association of Commercial Collectors.

There are no secrets here: with our user-friendly, fully HIPAA-compliant portal, you can see the status of our debt recovery efforts anytime, anywhere. View payment activity, place new accounts for collection, download reports, and more. Your business relies on getting paid for the services you’ve provided. When it comes to medical collections, you have a right to know how we’re doing.
How soon do you get paid? We aim to complete medical collections within 90 days. While some debts can be collected within just a few days, others take longer. If we cannot get in touch with the person responsible for the obligation, we have licensed private investigators who can track down the responsible party.
