I dont see the point in charging different insurances different fees unless your billing person is trying to make it look like they are 100% collections or close to it. In the end that doesn't really matter, all that matters is that you are getting paid what you are owed.
So for example, if BCBS pays you 215.32 for a visit and for the same visit Aetna pays 201.45, some billing like to charge BCBS 216 and Aetna 202. Makes it look better.
MY billing person simply charges $450 to all the insurances and that keeps it as above the norm no matter what the fee schedules are.
I agree with Biller2 that i would have a practice of charging the same to everyone. The only rule with cash pay is that it has to be at least what you get from Medicare if you take medicare. You don't have to charge what you get from BCBS and the others. Biller2 maybe I am wrong about that but I can have a 180 fee for cash pay. If i am wrong please tell me.
