starting a medical billing business
QueenAlicia:
It's 10 pm pst and I just read this whole topic and found it to be VERY helpfull. I am mad though that Xena charges $149 and I was going to go with NueMed whichs charges $1500 to set up and train and then $100 or so per provider. I like the fact that it had unlimited users but I am mad that I almost paid that price. I started my business last may and due to funds have been putting everything together slowly. I am working on website content, contracts and busness assoc agreements. I think I will be goin with Xena.

As far as the software goes, I have been using Therapist Helper for 3 years, I know some of you haven't liked it, maybe I like it because it's all I know and I'm a small billing servie. They have been very supportive with any questions I've had. I just started electronic claims with them and it's been going smoothly so far.
I will probably look into something new when my contract with them ends now that I've heard of so many others, Xena in particular. I guess I'm afraid to change, I feel like I know this one pretty well.

Glad it worked out well for you. One of the most important tools for your business is your software program. Its very important to compare shop. I have seen some run higher than that.

Hello Everyone,
I am starting a new billing company also and I appreciate all of you taking the time to share your knowledge. I have more questions if you don't mind.
Do medical billing companies need an agent number (or to register)with the carriers also, or just the clearinghouses? If so, can it be done with the popular carriers prior to getting a client or not until after?
Thanks,
Brenda
Michele:
The only time a billing service needs to register with carriers is to obtain submitter numbers for electronic claims. This can sometimes be done prior to getting a client, but it depends on the registration process with each carrier (it varies). Most require some information on the provider that you will be billing for.
Good Luck! :D
