Billing

Billing and claims are vital elements to keep your medical practice generating revenue. They are tools that facilitate the automated creation of the SuperBill, claims processing and collection support.

There are two different types of billing: Onsite and Offsite

Off-Site

Off-site billing is when a third party (outsourced) company is responsible for all of your billing/claims. Outsourced billing will eliminate the time spent submitting claims and chasing payments. It will also reduce your rent and payroll because you will not need a large space for a billing department. Instead, you will have a company that focuses on ensuring your billing will be done properly.

Fees associated with Off-site Billing:

Majority of the billing companies charge a percentage of the collections. This percentage can range anywhere from 4%-8%. This method ensures that the billing company is effectively assisting you. Therefore, they will not get paid until you do. Factors that are dependent on the collection percentage rate include: Practice Size, Current Account Receivable collections, Specialty.

Does your practice need off-site (outsourced) billing?
You should consider off-site billing if your practice has any of these concerns:

  1. Insufficient Follow Up
  2. Weak Billing Process Control
  3. Too Much Manual Work
  4. Too Many Disparate Systems

Two examples of outsourced billing companies are:

    I received recommendations from your site about 8-9 months ago, after answering 160 questions. I actually selected and purchased an EMR software program that your site recommended. I have been completely "live" with it for about 6 weeks and things are going well. It is the perfect program for me.

    After entering my practice parameters into the EMRConsultant.com algorithm I was provided with three choices for an EMR. We had all three provide demonstrations to us and we chose one of those three. What I liked about the program we chose is its versatility and flexibility, which is exactly one of the parameters I put into the algorithm. The EMR vendor has great customer service, and installation and training was almost a breeze. Physician's interested in an EMR without prior knowledge will greatly benefit from their algorithm.

    Your information was very helpful in providing us with a better understanding of the EMR industry, particularly as it relates to ARRA and the HITECH Act. I had no idea there were so many EHR/EMR vendors! We reviewed 10 vendors and selected one of those that you recommended. We are happy with our selection so far. Thank you!

    Working with Dr. Fishman was fantastic. His background as an actual physician EMR user makes his service particularly credible. He has a wealth of experience in health care IT that he generously shares with others. I would highly recommend emrconsultant to any organization looking for an EMR product today.
