Hi, a quick topic for discussion and / or friendly debate.
Have any of the professionals here had a marked experience of patients defaulting on paying for their treatment?

I know of one person ("friend" of brother) that had a complete treatment plan done, agreed to pay in full at the end and has refused to acknowledge bills since.

Is this common in the workplace or few and far between?
