Pricing – We provided a custom quotation for each practice. There are no concealed Fees: If there are startup costs they are stated in the agreement. Sometime there are startup feed to interface with an EMR or Practice Management system. There aren’t fees for things like sending reports or printing statements. We try to provide a simple agreement that doesn’t bury you in fine print prices.
Why don’t you charge a fixed fee per claim?
We charge on a percentage basis so we have an incentive to maximize your reimbursements. Some companies also offer a secondary fee for those claims that require follow-up. This almost creates an incentive not to get it processed in the first place. We have taken over some of our practices from other billing companies that charge fixed fees. Many times we have found that these per claim agencies had let claims fall by the wayside and beyond the point of the carries timely filing period. BUT, we do as much cleanup as we possibly can to recover these lost receivables.
Are you a collection agency?
No, we aren’t. We try to minimize the percent of your claims that get to be over 90 days. You’ll find you have only a small need for a collection agency. Over 90 days receivables for most of our accounts is under 5 percent.
