The Nexa Efficiency Model: $15 Fixed Fee vs. Performance Contingency
We understand that Jonesboro businesses operate on varied margins. We offer two surgical paths to recovery:
-
Account Reconciliation ($15 Fixed Fee): The “Soft Nudge” for early-stage delinquency (30-90 days). For just $15 per account, we deploy a professional demand phase. Your customers pay you directly, and you retain 100% of the recovered funds.
-
Contingency Mediation (20%–40%): Our “No Recovery, No Fee” performance model. We take on the risk, using deep-data skip-tracing and professional mediation. If we don’t bring your capital home, you don’t pay.

Redefining the “Collector”: The Account Reconciliation Concierge
The traditional debt collector is a liability in a community like Jonesboro, where a single aggressive phone call can lead to a “review-bomb” that tarnishes years of brand-building. At Nexa, we utilize Account Reconciliation Concierges. We treat every interaction as a customer service opportunity. Most “bad debt” in the Current market is actually administrative confusion or billing static. We clear the static, preserve the relationship, and secure the payment.
The Integrity Protocol: To ensure 100% professionalism, we record all calls and perform random audits. This prevents rogue behavior and ensures our “Velvet Hammer” remains professional, authoritative, and empathetic.
Localized Industry Specialization
Jonesboro’s economy is a complex ecosystem of logistics, education, and medicine. We adapt our strategy to fit your sector’s unique rhythm:
-
Healthcare & Medical: 100% HIPAA-compliant recovery for surgical centers and specialty clinics. We navigate Current Arkansas medical debt rules, focusing on reconciliation before the 2-year statute of limitations for medical services creates a legal barrier.
-
Manufacturing & Logistics: B2B recovery for the industrial titans of NEA. We understand “Net-30” to “Net-90” cycles and use mediation to resolve contract friction without blowing up the partnership.
-
Colleges & Universities: Specializing in tuition fee recovery and housing balances. We balance firm tactics with the need to protect the institutional reputation of our local academic anchors.
-
Construction & Trades: Revenue recovery for HVAC, electrical, and general contractors. From restoration to pool contractors, we ensure your “Net-15” terms are respected.
-
Dental & Orthodontics: High-empathy recovery for practices where patient rapport is the primary business asset.
-
K-12 Private & Charter Schools: Managing unpaid enrollment and textbook fees with a diplomatic approach tailored for the city’s growing school choice landscape.
-
Accountants & CPA Firms: Recovery of professional service fees through mediation that understands the delicate nature of financial partnerships.
-
Banks & Credit Unions: Handling delinquent consumer loans and overdrawn accounts using aggressive (but compliant) garnishment strategies.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. How does Current medical debt credit reporting affect my Jonesboro clinic?
New federal mandates have restricted the reporting of medical debts under $500. This makes mediation-first recovery vital, as the “threat” of credit reporting is no longer a viable lever for smaller balances. Nexa focuses on the “Velvet Hammer” of reconciliation instead.
2. What if my customer in Jonesboro claims they never received the bill?
This is where our Account Reconciliation Concierges excel. We provide the documentation, walk them through the “administrative static,” and often secure a credit card payment during the very first call.
3. Is Nexa HIPAA compliant for my practice near St. Bernards?
Absolutely. Our systems and staff are 100% HIPAA-compliant, ensuring patient privacy is guarded as fiercely as your revenue.
