Medical Billing

One of my pet peeves...
How many of you would give 5 - 8% of your earnings to your high school son for a data entry project ?

Friends, that is what YOU are doing when you ask a billing company to take care of your billing.

Long ago, this was a very complicated system.  Now it boils down to simple data entry.  Just spend ONE afternoon and you can figure it out.  And you will save a lot of money.   Hire someone to do the data entry.  I KNOW you can do it.

Most of the EMR will have a billing module.
You can trnasmit these files for free
We use Kareo.com
Most insurance companies have direct deposit options - that way the money is directly deposited in your bank account.  You do have to double check the amounts deposited with the EOBs.  That is not hard either.
Try it.

Practice fusion - my favorite EMR :) has partnered with Kareo.com  This is very cost effective as they charge a minimal monthly fee.  We are not using it.  So I cannot really comment on it.  But I have been told that their customer service may not be as good as Practice Fusion Customer Service.

We have started using Kareo.com and they are good.
