Payment for the Clinic

Question

I mailed the clinic payment with a check, but it has been about 10 days and it still has not been debited when I look at my bank account. I called the clinic and asked if they received the check properly, but they said they don't know since they are asking the Billing company to do so, but they will inquire next week.
How long does it usually take for the check to be reflected ？ I am worried because it has been too long since I paid by mail.

I think it is up to the accountant working at the clinic to decide when the clinic will put the check they receive into their account.
I have paid various clinics with checks, and some were very slow, such as the one that was debited more than 2 months after I mailed it to them.
I was also concerned and called them, but the person who answered the phone gave me his name and said not to worry, as the system has recorded that you called me. The point is, if they have a record that you are willing to pay and that you have properly sent the check, I don't think the clinic will impose any penalty on you.
If you called, please note the date and time of the call and the name of the person who answered the phone so that if you do not receive the mail, you can prove that you intended to pay and that you checked with the clinic.

I am not a fan of paying by check mail either.
If you receive a bill and the clinic does not have an online credit card payment portal, you can call the clinic directly and ask if you can verbally pay by credit card over the phone ？ and they will accept the card payment over the phone. Some clinics will accept credit card payment over the phone.

Thank you A. ！
I see that it has taken you 2 months. I am even more worried because I have heard that this clinic had a trouble with Billing campany from a doctor directly long time ago.
I should avoid paying by mail with a check as much as possible.

I think it will take time - I try to pay online or call the clinic and ask to pay by credit card, but if the payment is made and you cry, you will get another bill, so you should be fine!
