Discuss the advantages and disadvantages involved with attempting to collect the
patient balance due at the time of service.

Attempting to collect the balance due at the time of service can serve for income purposes. It can guarantee that the doctors and the people involved with the procedure can get paid and the costumer will have the chance to access a proceudure. But actualy there are more disadvantages because the medical body can be sued and that they can not get paid if the patient does not feel that the procedure was good. It doesn't cover some expenses and it may not be comfortable neither for the patient nor for the doctors 

10/10 recommend bring pads/tampons with you no matter what. im 16 & i’ve had mine since i was 12 and they’re still it regular, but id suggest using the glow app, many women use it for fertility reasons but i use mine specifically for the period tracking portion and it guesses when your next period will most likely be for the next two months. i dont believe theres any way to delay your period, so id say hope for the best but make sure to bring all of your stuff just incase. have a good cruise!
