Which of the following is NOT a step in setting up a prepayment plan?

Setting up a prepayment plan focuses on financing the care before it happens. The steps involved are collecting an upfront amount (down payment), arranging how the remaining balance will be paid after the procedure (postprocedure monthly payments), and obtaining an estimate of the patient’s financial responsibility from the insurance carrier so the plan can be structured properly. Scheduling a follow-up appointment, while important for clinical care, is not a financing step and does not influence the terms or feasibility of the prepayment arrangement.
