I need a recommendation because I have not had good results with billing. I outsource it now to a local company; the first company I was with was not reliable with actually filing. I switched to another local company: at first I thought they were good because insurance payments were coming in. After six months suddenly I started receiving alot of patients' payments and some (very reliable) patients were telling me they only just received a statement at about that time. I call the billing place and she says they send out a statement every month, but it's pretty clear that is B.S.
Because I prefer to do a lot of disability examinations, I have a relatively small volume of private patients. That probably has something to do with getting poor results from these companies.
Could someone tell me what is involved in doing your own billing? Hiring my own person/people is out of the question. Either I will handle the small volume on my own or take a recommendation for an online billing company.
I won't pay $1000 setup fee so AC billing is out. and MTBC (sp?) at first was going to take me on, but then the rep reversed himself and told me my practice was too small and was not a good business decision to do billing for me and would only give me the EMR software with $5000 charge (this was before I discovered AC).
Is it difficult to do it on your own without experience? Any good company recommended?
thanks!
