Abstract: A method for scheduling a medical service employing at least one computer system is described. A request for a medical service is received at the computer system. The medical service is scheduled for a requested date.

The medical service may then be rescheduled for a date after the requested date if the analysis indicates nonpayment exposure to the medical service provider.
