To take advantage of the protection of this law, providers must be aware of statutes of the prompt payment in countries where they maintain in which their patients live and where their payers. With the announcement of their rights and obligations under these laws, suppliers may invite the payment scheme proactively to avoid excess payment without legal recourse is excluded.

Similar complaints were by or on behalf of doctors, however, conduct a process is imperfect remedy for an ISP to a request for payment because it is expensive and lengthy.
Fortunately, a country increasingly stringent on the rapid introduction of payment claims payers. For example, the State of New York has been charged in 1997, clearly visible from a confrontation between government consumer protection legislation with a health plan on an order book claims, over $ 230 million.
