Debt recovery and dispute resolution for healthcare

We have a wealth of expertise in delivering solicitor-led debt recovery services, and dispute resolution for those in the healthcare sector.

Specialist healthcare solicitors ¶

Did you know that over 10% of the UK’s GDP is spent on healthcare and related services? With an aging population, this is set to increase. This means it has never been more important for healthcare providers to access and recoup outstanding fees.

At Harwood & Co, we have a wealth of expertise in delivering solicitor-led debt recovery services, and dispute resolution for those in the healthcare sector. Our experts have vast experience in high-value debt collection and utilise this, combined with a hands-on approach to effectively manage and recover your monies owed.

We are proud to act for a range of healthcare providers seeking to recover wrongly withheld, or late payments in relation to services provided. This can be in relation to patients/end users, or in the form of dispute resolution with their suppliers.

Impact of debt recovery on healthcare services ¶

Our specialist debt recovery solicitors assist healthcare providers in the recovery of outstanding payments. These services minimise both the impact of poor cash flow on their business, and in turn, increase their ability to provide the appropriate and expected care standard to their customers.

In cases where there may be late payments, or dispute resolution needs with partners and/or suppliers, our team will oversee every step to secure the best possible resolution and financial outcome.

In this instance, our debt collections and recovery team will provide in depth support and guidance on the most appropriate course of action, taking into account the unique circumstances of your case, as well as your attitude to costs and risk.

This could include engaging in pre-action correspondence, issuing a claim through the County Court, or instigating insolvency proceedings.

Can care home fees be recovered if the receiver of care is deceased? ¶
It is possible to issue a claim in relation to the fees from a deceased estate. However, there may be some practical difficulties in ascertaining the correct individual whose responsibility it is to administer the estate. If you are in this situation and unsure whether fees can be recovered, please contact us and we can advise on the prospect of recovering such fees.
Is the recipient of care always liable for the fees relating to their care? ¶
There are circumstances where a third party, such as a family member, may be liable for the care fees. Our expert healthcare solicitors can review your contract and advise you, specific to your circumstances.
How can I get started with debt recovery? ¶
