Sample Script - Billing Reminder / Past Due Balance Reminder Call

HOW TO EDIT:  In order to edit them, you can copy these into the body of an email, edit and send back to us at  support@1800notify.com

SPANISH AVAILABLE:  Once you finalize your English scripts, we can work with you to translate and record the Spanish version of the messages.  Just let us know if you need Spanish. 

SIMPLE OR COMPLEX - UP TO YOU: You can be as simple or complicated on each of the scripts depending on what you are trying to accomplish and your particular needs. For example, we have some clients that just use a single script with no variations and very few buttons to press.  They might just have "press 2 to pay with a credit card or if you have questions" and nothing else. 

 

 

BILLING REMINDER -- CAN BE USED TO REPLACE A SECOND MAILED STATEMENT 

When Delivered:   Instead of Sending the Second Statement or 1 week after 2nd statement arrives at patient’s home
