Fees
« on: June 03, 2010, 06:06:02 PM »
When a docotor starts their own medical practice, how do they know how much to bill? I can't picture a doctor calling other practices to find where they fit in with the fee schedule? And for Insurance Cos., etc - are the fee schedules publicly available?

There is a calculation method they use.

Medicare fee schedules are posted on the carriers web site.  Many providers use the Medicare allowed amount and multiply by 130 - 150% and then round it.  For example, if Medicare allows $99.05 for a 99214 then the provider may want to allow between $130-$150.

Our electronic billing system came with the Medicare Fee Schedule already built in.  Then we did like the above poster said & multiplied it by 150% for other payers.  Good luck!
