Medical Collection in this industry is our specialty. With over 35 years of experience we take pride in returning above-industry averages to our clients. Representing St. Francis Health Center in Topeka, Providence Medical Center in Kansas City, and St. John Hospital in Leavenworth, our database is full of information on those people that owe you money.  Collecting for several doctors, dentists, eye care professionals, and many others in this field, we are achieving collection percentages that exceed industry standards. Forming a partnership with our clients and doing everything possible to assist them in collecting has always been a driving force behind our day-in and day-out operations. Making sure our clients maintain the relationship they have with their patient/debtor is at the forefront of our concerns. To insure this, we record all of our conversations with their patients/debtors to make sure we handle each and every one of them in a way we would want to be treated. Call us today and we will customize a collection plan to fit your needs. Government The City of Topeka (our largest Government client) has started an area of our business that we would like to see grow into our largest group of clients. The various types of collections are a new challenge each and every day. This is a challenge we meet head on! Making a difference for our clients and our employees is why we feel we need to expand this type of collections within our organization. Both our client’s and our own employees are directly impacted by this industry. Local and state government collections affect us through higher taxes. The more we collect and through higher involvement, the more we can change things for our clients and our employees. We are currently involved with League of Kansas Municipalities (LKM), Kansas Government Finance Officers Association (KGFOA), and Kansas Association of Counties and helping them with their collection needs. We also feel very strongly about collections from city, county, federal, and state agencies. Choosing companies outside of Kansas is bad for our state. We will continue to provide the advantages of using a local company to collect for them. With the federal and state laws that govern our industry, almost every collection agency in the country uses the same tools to collect, send letters, make phone calls, and file court actions. If a collection agency lists a larger amount of debt, this does not always mean that they are the better fit for your company. Typically, we will assign more employees for your collections than any of the larger collection agencies. It is important to read the fine print in the RFP. Keep the money where it belongs…right here in Kansas. Utility We are currently representing several utility companies. This type of debt can be more challenging to collect. However, we rely heavily on our Skip-Tracing department to work on these accounts and locate as many as possible. In most cases, the customer/debtor has moved from the location they were provided the services. We would be happy to discuss your current needs and wants as it relates to collecting all types of utility debts.   Bad Checks Returned checks continue to be a problem for most merchants and will continue for many years to come. Collection Bureau of Kansas (CBK) will always pay 100% of the face amount of the check when it is collected. We feel that the person who wrote the bad check should pay for expenses associated with collecting, not our clients. The following are a few examples of our client types: C-Stores Pizza Places Liquor Stores Retail Stores Grocery Stores CBK also offers added protection against bad check writers called verification. We use a national database called Nation Check Network. This company has been in business for over 20 years offering services to companies like us giving the merchants more protection against bad check writers. Subrogation Subrogation (as it relates to your business) is defined as someone who has damaged something you own and are either not insured or insurance is not willing to pay. We started collecting this type of debt for Payless Shoe Source in 2003 and added Westar Energy in 2004. In the last 5 years, we have achieved more than expected and continue to expand our business as it relates to Subrogation Collections. We welcome this type of debt and encourage more people to pursue those who won’t pay. Remember: We only get paid when you get paid!!!
