starting a medical billing business

So are you saying that if I have a client that has a practice with 20 providers, that it will only cost $149 a month no matter how many providers in that practice I bill for? If that is what you are saying that is fantastic! I have not signed a client yet and am still looking for a good PM but I know that I want it to be web based but I have been finding that there is usually a monthly fee per provider, which becomes just too expensive.
I have one counselor that has just started her practice and is outsourcing but she is not happy with the biller she is using. But, until I find a PM software I am on the fence. I also have my eye on a clinic that has 20+ providers and if I could find something that doesn't charge me a fee for each provider that I bill for then I would be in a position to approach them, but until I can find something that will only charge me say a set fee per database (for each different clinic I bill for) then I am just left out in the cold so to speak! ???
I have gone to the website you indicated but it really doesn't tell or show anything about the practice management software at all. Where do I go to find out about the software and the features?

One more thing Alice,
with the software you are talking about, does it have unlimited users or is there a fee per "seat"? The large practice I am looking at has a minimum of 6 staff members and 2 owners that would access at any given time, not to mention the providers would access to look at their schedule (I plan to offer the scheduler feature, to me I would like to have them use my software and they can use the scheduler which I think would be helpful to me as well because then I can see what to expect for the day, week, month, etc.). If there is a fee per seat that too can get expensive, I really want something that offers unlimited users.
Thanks for any info you can provide. :D

It was hard to believe for us at first, but it really is correct, $149 per month per seat for unlimited providers/practices, with no set up fees, hidden costs, etc. And it has all the features of those other web based softwares that are MUCH more expensive. They are able to do it because of the SAAS technology.
Anyway, if the providers want to access their account then you should put that cost onto them. Xena only charges providers $99 per month/per seat, and they can see all of their data, but the program is slightly different from their view so they don't have access to all of the tools that you do as the biller. (But they can see all that they need to) And a seat is a sign on and can be accessed from any computer so each person at the drs office wouldn't be signing on at the same time so they wouldn't each need an individual sign on or seat.
If you would like more info I can have someone from Xena call you.

Hi Michelle
Is the contract for your business is the same as the BA or is it two different thing

Just my small input on billing software. I disagree with the analogy of getting into a yugo and want to upgrade to a cadillac as being wrong. To avoid going bankrupt, you should start out small and upgrade. Getting into a cadillac when you don't have the payments to afford it would be in my opinion a bad business move. Most people don't quit their job and start out doing their home based business unless they got a nice loan to start them up that will allow them to live until they build the business. Most that I know can't afford to quit their day job, so the business is done at home after hours. I can truly appreciate the benefits to having programs like zena or advancedmd etc, but logically speaking, i can't afford to pay that fee each month and not having a provider to bill for. I myself started with officeally/practice mate, but hopefully will upgrade once I am assured of having 2 long term clients. Once I move into my cadillac, i don't plan on having to drop back down to my yugo.....:-) I actually had one company tell me they don't even talk to billing services that don't already have clients!!!
