ANSWER – Absolutely!

Outsourcing ensures better compliance to protect your practice from rejected or denied claims, as well as other potential issues that could impact the cash flow for your business.

Question – Does Outsourcing Cost More Than In-House Billing?
ANSWER – It really adds up fast when you think about how much is invested to recruit, hire, and compensate in-house staff for medical coding and billing. Not only are you paying an hourly or salary rate, but also insurance, workers compensation insurance, sick days, holidays, vacations, and other benefits. In addition, a specialized workstation needs to be created for in-house staff with computers, internet access, software, and other essentials so they can do their job. Outsourcing costs are fixed and based on the claims that are submitted and bills that are paid, making it more cost-effective across the board.
