Would it be more cost effective to file electronic claims in-house instead of using a billing service?
A. No, We substantially reduce your operation overhead (salary, benefits, office space, hardware and software costs are eliminated). And, we do all of the above at a small fraction of what it would cost your operation to perform the same tasks. Effective medical billing is a much more detail oriented specialty then most in-house billers realize. As an example, there are many trade secrets that can be applied to most situations that can result in operational saving and consistency in payments. We understand or have access to government polices and programs. Keeping up-to-date with all this information can be extremely time consuming to your operation. We understand the importance of the details that insurance companies need for proper payment. We stay informed of all ICD-9 and CPT code changes, and we use our contacts with the carriers to stay abreast of any internal changes that may impact or result in reduced payments / or non payments for your practice.
