Michele what is a average amount to charge if you are charging %

Michele:
The nationwide average is between 5% and 11%.  Most billing services I'm familiar with are somewhere between 6% and 8%.

Michele,
I spoke to a provider today, it was a chiro. he asked some questions and said what do you charge, I said whatever would work best for you % or per claim, he is not ready to change over but is keeping my card. I was thinking should I give them a option like that or not.
Also one of his questions was do you know if we soon all providers will have to change over to electronic, I said I'm sure it will soon happen, have you heard of any news on this?

Hi,

  There is not a 'national mandate' but many carriers are already mandating electronic billing.  Most Medicare carriers as well as many others.  For example, our local BC mandates it if you do over a certain number of claims per month.  Another local medicaid HMO also mandates it, unless you file papers stating why you cannot submit electronically.  It is just the direction things are going, and there are so many benefits.

   It is ok to give the provider a choice, but only if you make it clear that you are finding the best way to charge for his needs (and yours).  Don't make it seem like you don't really care which way, or it isn't important to you.
