--- Quote ---I am interested in finding out what a good way is to handle charging for old claims that have not been collected...I seem to be getting all dr's who haven't billed for over a year and I am going back and submitting for these but it is time consuming...should a larger flat fee or a larger percentage be more appropriate in this situation???

This should be addressed in your contract. It should be clear. If you are claiming your contract starts on 7/1/2009 then the provider is going to just assume that is when you start. It's better to set a start date with a date of service. Anything prior is "old/aged" and you charge extra.

Michele:
Yes, you definitely should be getting paid differently for 'clean up' and if you don't spell that out in the beginning the provider will think it is all the same.  We usually charge about 50% higher than our regular fee for old stuff.  For example if we are charging 7% for regular, we might charge 10% for cleanup.
