1. I currently use NueMD at the medical billing company that I work for. Does anyone have any thoughts on using this software for an at home based company?
2. I'm trying to figure out what is the best way to receive super bills, pt info, reports, eob ect. from the Dr. Does a network work best or is it just as efficient to have all the information faxed?
3. If I use a different software then the Dr's is that okay? Do they need to provide me with any more information other then the pt info, insurance info and super bill?
4. Right now I work for a specialist and a lot of times the insurance requires medical documentation and reports. Do you think this is something I should have the Dr's send me for every pt. or should i request them from the Dr. on a need bases.
5. Does Office Billing differ a lot from Hospital Billing if the Dr. provides a super bill. I have only ever done office billing but I know a Dr. who sees pt both in is own practice and at the hospital?
That's great, thank you!! Can you explain a little more about what a "remote" desktop is. I have heard the term before but am not quite clear on what it is. Also what is the going percentage rate that you bill the Doctors. I'm planning on charging a % of the amount billed but I have read people charge anywhere from 6%-14%!The Doctor that i am pursuing already has a great system. Do you think its okay to tell him that I could log onto his software and get the info I need and then input it into my billing software? He has a all paperless practice. Thanks again!
Florida is one of the states where it's actually nearly cut & dry that it's considered illegal fee-splitting. You want to make sure when pricing your services you do not base them on a percentage or even a perceived notion of percentage. The states where there are actual cases on the books and the law is clear is Florida, NY, & Illinois. A few other states have similar laws but with some "grey" area. Here is the verbiage from the Florida Law: The basis for the final order appears in F.S. 458.331(1), which sets forth a list of acts or omissions for which the board may take disciplinary action against a physician's license.The list includes 458.331(1)(i), which prohibits "paying or receiving any commission,bonus, kickback, or rebate, or engaging in any split-fee arrangement in any formwhatsoever with a physician, organization, agency, or person, either directly orindirectly, for patients referred to providers of health care goods and services . . ."
