Face to Face does not guarantee you a larger chance of obtaining a provider. I just got one on the hook yesterday, and we go meet in person tomorrow to sign the contracts. He is just that type of provider, he still feels more comfortable meeting me. He loved my presentation that I gave him, and the fact that I am a DME & medical biller as well. Its not always quantity of networking, its quality. Unless a physician see's a problem with his billing, he may not be enticed to switch over to a billing service. Some providers are not on top of their revenue. They see money coming in, and just don't know. There are a lot of providers that have been "burned" by the home biller, and they don't want to do it again. Before I started my practice, I sent out surveys to providers to see what their needs were, and what their expectations for billers were. When I compiled that information for my area, I created a marketing tool to address the issues they were interested in. This is the first thing you need to know, and that is your MARKET. You can't post a flyer for a "grand opening, 24hr bar" in a Quaker community.
