Own Your Care
Late Payment
Phase 5 — Run Your Practice

How to use these texts

1Fill in the fields, then copy the right text based on how late the payment is.
2Start with Friendly. If you don't hear back in 2 days, escalate to Firm. After 7 days, Final.
3If the Final text gets no response, switch to the Call Script tab.

Friendly Reminder 1–3 days late
Firm Follow-Up 4–7 days late
Final Notice 7+ days late
Rule: You are not required to continue providing care while a payment is outstanding. The service agreement says when payment is due. After the Final Notice deadline passes with no response, switching to the call script and pausing shifts is appropriate — not aggressive.

Late payment call

This call is not a conversation about whether the payment is owed. It's a professional notification with a clear path forward. Go in calm and clear.

Before you call

1Send the Final Notice text first. The call comes after — not instead of.
2Have the original service agreement in front of you. Know the exact amount and the exact due date.
3Call during business hours — not in the evening, not on a weekend.
