Where do you start?

PMRNC:
You want to also check into Errors & Omissions services as well.

I agree about the outsourcing for billing, but not for coding. I do believe many doctors do not want charts leaving office, it really is a huge liability for both the coder and the provider both.

Michele:
I don't know too many doctors that outsource for coding for that reason as well.  I am always amazed when a dr in another state asks if we will do the coding and billing.  I can't imagine how they would get the patient's chart out for the coding??  We do not do coding, only billing.   ;D

dgarri:
So are you saying that the doctors office enter the coding/icd9's and you just submit and track the billing?? And if so how do you know that what they are using is correct?  Currently I do both in the office I work in.  I do understand that billing / coding is 2 seperate jobs so I want to be sure I am understanding your process.

Thanks
Diana

Michele:
They send us superbills and we submit billing, track payments, handle denials/appeals, work aging reports, etc.  But the cpt's & icd-9's are sent over on the superbill.

HI Looks like you have done all the right things so far!! Now all you have to do is get the providers, and as far as the software goes , i got some great advice frome Alicia, you can start off with Practice Mate,  i also looked into Kareo.  i am also in Florida, i have been going from dr to dr to try to find some to let me do their billing at home. You have an advantage that you know some already so GOOD LUCK to you.
