Question regarding your books...?
Michele:
Karen,
Sorry for the delay! Last few days flew by. Anyway, Charlene is right, contracts are important. Honestly if you are already billing for mental health, I don't think our mental health book would help you much. It is for someone looking to get into mental health who hasn't had much experience in it before. I'm thinking that since you are looking to get more clients maybe the marketing book would help. It has 12 methods for getting new clients. Also, we just put out the first credentialing book on Medicare. We have found that our credentialing service gives us lots of referrals for the billing. If they are just getting credentialed they usually haven't thought much about how they will do the billing. Anyway, it sounds like you have a good start and are getting some important things straightened out. Best Wishes!

Michelle, I just saw an ad for a biller and it stated "credentialing experience desired"

When I started a few years ago a couple of clinicians had asked if I helped with credentialing. Unfortunately at that point in time I was totally new to the medical billing world and felt I had enough to learn with just learning how to submit claims correctly and efficiently. I think I do need to head in that direction now. Thanks for the ideas, I am going to look in to the book you are suggesting. Also, Michele one last question. You mentioned you are working on getting a new web based software I think you said in March, are you able to give us the name of the software?
Michele:
The software is called Xena. If you are interested in sitting in on an online demo let me know.
As for the credentialing, the book should be up now. We released it yesterday.
I have always found that it helps if you are experienced in many things, as opposed to one. It is good to be great at one, but if you can help out in other areas too, it makes you more valuable. The credentialing for us, started out as just to help out our docs. Then we realized, there are lots of docs out there that need the credentialing that we don't bill for. It's really taken off for us.
I'm not surprised by the add Charlene. Some offices have providers coming and going on a regular basis and they need their billing department to be able to handle adding/deleting providers.

Michele, am I understanding correctly, that you don't charge for the credentialing service? I would possible be interested in watching the demo of the software Xena. I just upgraded Therapist Helper that I use. So far I've been happy, but it isn't a web based service, although I believe at some point they are headed in that direction. I am from MA and they are just 20 min from me which is nice.....but I'm always open to suggestions, maybe next year at renewal time..
