Most of them were faxing the patient, insurance and claim information, and I was doing the data entry and submitting the claims. Just looking for ideas here, and trying to streamline the process. You folks said a good biller could produce 6000-9000 per month in income. I'm still trying to figure out how this is possible.

Michele:
If they are currently faxing it to you and you are entering it I definitely don't think they will like the change.  Are you using Practice Mate?  (Office Ally's free software?)

williamportor:
Yes

Thank You for the advice folks. Just exploring ideas (I guess this one was not too good) Trying to be more efficient here, I'm anxious for the day I can go to NY and see how you folks do it. The business is building here, however slowly. I'll get there.  :)

"Since I'm responsible for claims I send out I don't want to depend on data entry at all by anyone but myself. I see so many problems with that"

AMEN!
