Home Forums Discussions Coding and Billing Medical billing needed ASAP

We went with EZ-claim starting in 1/2015 just shy of the AC practice management. We have gone thru 6 billers and it is all a mess. Anyone have any suggestions to help us get our vast majority of money sitting with denials and write off's from dishonest medical billers? As of today i no longer have a biller "in-house"

I am open to outsourcing it or getting a new system. I am not sue if it just wa
sn't really "EZ" or just dumb hirees.

Desperate to get our AR in our pocket.
Thanks for any sypport anyone can offer!!!!!

Sanp,

I can put you in contact with a few that we have seen clients have good success in using. Just PM me contact info.

Best,

Indy

I could ask our company if they can take you on. Send me a message. They have been fantastic and service a majority of doctors in our area.

I actually own a billing company and we use it for my practice. I'm an IM PCP, but one thing lead to another (shoddy billing companies in the past...) and now I own my own. If you interested, you can email me. dmleejr@me.com.

We have to pick someone ASAP-I will take who we can get that seems to have the best format for getting our billing denials submitted and followed up on. we are so small that every little penny counts. I dont want to be a number on a wall for a billing company has much bigger contracts...

Anyone with a name can send me an email at:

Looking at MDcommerce and I will email Mr. Lee.

I sent you an email...

Hello Sandy...I actually have been do billing for providers using Amazing Charts for over 10 years now. I encouraged the providers I work with to use an EMR and, based on my research, recommended and then set them up with Amazing Charts as I determined it to be the most user friendly and affordable EMR. I was also able to find a practical interface to transfer data from AC to my billing software. I've been reviewing the posts, etc., over the years to keep up-to-date on any issues/concerns that might impact the providers I works with, i.e., because I was aware that there were complaints that the initial ICD-10 upgrade was extremely slow, I was able to hold off on scheduling the providers upgrade to ICD-10 until after the slowness issue with AC ICD-10 upgrade was corrected. Let me know if you would like to discuss the possibility of working together. You can also contact me at eve@embg.us (I sent you an email as well.)

Well a key question here is what is the industry norm to declare what is acceptable collection relative to what is billed.

I am thinking about 80-85%. Expectation to achieve anything beyond that has to be balanced with the opportunity costs of the collection efforts.

Anyone has any thoughts on what is an acceptable rate of collection ?

Thanks

I have a patient saying we have not gotten paid for 10 hospital visits a year ago!- that is the sort of stuff i need addressed.
I am not going with Billing Paradise- it was a bunch of promises and i signed then things have not moved and now i am finding out that they are not using my software etc. The post was a deleted user? What is that about?

I will review the billiing option with Eve who responded. Anyone in Illinois?

Hello Sandy...I just read your updated message. I truly hope your experience with billers is unique as it sounds like quite the billing nightmare; from the biller's point of view it is quite astounding. The problem has to be either the billing software you are using, the billers you are using,the manner in which you are coding and/or the way your practice is setup with the insurance carriers. I can understand the billers having initial "kinks" to work out when they begin working with you, it's the ongoing issues that are difficult to understand. As a fellow user, if you would like me to look at one of your rejections to assist you in determining what the issue is,I would be happy to do so; we would just have to sign a HIPPA form. As you probably know, the insurance carriers have timely filing deadlines so the longer your issues continue the more money the provider is apt to lose.

Hello,

I've been using AC, and EZ Claim PREMIER since it was released. It is a combination that my offsite biller who is a certified coder really likes, even better than eclinical works. She accesses my server (where the 2 programs reside) remotely with Log Me In. Until I upgrade AC to version 9 which will allow me to transmit payment method information automatically to EZ Claim PREMIER, we fax her copies of the paper super bills every day. She is very smart, very efficient, and reasonable . Let me know if you want her contact information.

i can point you to my people. THey are a local group in chicago. Two cousins run it with a third employee. I have less then 60K in AR over the last 6.5 years ( i think it is a lot but most tell me i am out of my mind). They do the appeals 3 times before i even hear about it. very happy with them!

I can recommend a good company in NJ...Accel Medical Billing (201-645-3250) or email Ron..@
