Any help in getting around the clearing houses would be great. That's around $2000 a year for us. I was really pissed when I found out that all the standardization set by HIPAA was essentially worthless. I managed to submit claims directly to BCBS and Medicare for all of 2 years before the PM software dropped direct submission. That could be a deal maker for me. Of course, not a peep from a any of our societies -AMA, AAFP - anyone about trying to enforce better standardization so that a PM software could actually create a claim that could work at any insurance company.
