Why use a medical billing company?

There are a multitude of reasons clinics choose to hire a billing company, instead of hiring an employee. 

Some of the biggest reasons we hear are:

• Continuity. If your billing is handled in house , there is a possibility of turnover. Hiring a billing company ensures your billing schedule stays regular and assures there are no large gaps in billing while you find and train a replacement. 

• Expertise. You don't have to worry about training a new hire to fulfil a billing role. You can have peace of mind knowing your billing is in experienced hands. 

  • Additionally, a medical billing company has the experience to guide you in best billing practices, avoiding billing mistakes and pitfalls that can possibly cost your clinic it's insurance contracts or large fines. 

• Cost. This one is surprising, isn't it? The cost of hiring a billing company can be daunting, but can also be offset by not having to pay: a salary, payroll taxes, health insurance, sick time, unemployment taxes, payroll expenses or PTO. 

• Time.  Your time is valuable. Hiring a billing company frees you from: waiting on hold with insurance companies, signing up for and learning insurance portals,  staying current on billing requirements, and navigating denials.
