Dear Michelle and Alice
I am researching Home Medical Billing Business, have received your ebook and have a few questions. I currently work for a Rehab Hospital/Home Health Care facility in the Business Office. I have been in this field since for almost 5 years. Still much to learn. I have already procured the medical billing course through Allied Medical Schools online training. Will begin that in the next couple of weeks. I have a client waiting for me to start up, my Chiropractor. He said he prepays for their service and they do not do follow up. Should not be too hard to make him happy.
1. For his billing, which is mostly office visits, would you recommend charging a per claim fee - From office visit to patient billing? I was thinking 5.00 or 6.00 per claim for office visits. Say, if I were to obtain a surgeon client, I would want to charge a percentage instead of per claim fee.
2. When billing a provider, how are you notified of their payments; patient and insurance?
3. I have gathered that fees are based on amounts collected from insurance companies, but when billing patients, Do you charge a separate fee for patient billing? Would this be a per patient fee or a percentage?
That's all for now, I'm sure that I'll have more questions as I read through the book again. Oh, and thanks so much for sharing your knowledge with us wannabe's.
