' I'd be interested in how many doctors do their own coding/billing submissions. For internal medicine, we don't have a ton of codes to worry about -- so 95%+ are fairly straightforward. I just have a hard time signing those checks for the billing company when they are coding what I tell them to already. They are good at following up though on unpaid claims -- so is it worth the 8% for this or are you better of doing it on your own or with the help of the office staff on following up on these claims. Just curious to what other doctors are doing. _________________________ John Carstensen, MD Carstensen Internal Medicine Key West, FL
