Why should you outsource your billing to a billing
service?
-
In-house billing traditionally has large losses if
not done expertly, it requires a lot of continuing education to
stay current, and truly expert in-house billers are very expensive.
Outsourced billing staff, at the right company, stays abreast of
changes in the industry, and is at least a step ahead of in-house
staff, and usually more.
-
In-house billing staff takes up valuable space that
can be used for administration or patient care.
- Billing employee turnover becomes a thing of the past. High turnover
in most in-house billing departments is inevitable, and expensive.
By outsourcing, you no longer have to worry abour hiring and firing,
salaries, benefits, billing software and clearinghouse costs, paper
supplies, postage, the printing of and revisions to letterhead,
the expense and hassle of claims forms and more.
- With the billing outsourced, the number of incoming phone calls
drops dramatically, freeing up your administrative staff to keep
operations running smoothly.
- Outsourcing to a billing service that is paid a percentage (or
its equivalent) turns the fixed cost of in-house billing into a
variable one, that rises and falls with your revenue, making it
far more affordable in both lean and flush months.
-
By outsourcing, you will experience far fewer outdated
coding errors.
-
By outsourcing, you will have no more stressed billing
staff.
-
By outsourcing, you will have no fewer claim rejections.
-
By outsourcing, you will have far less lost revenue.
