Medical Billing for Substance Abuse Center

<< < (2/2)

Michele:
Believe it or not, most inpatient D&A rehab facilities get full payment up front and do not par with insurances.  At least most of the ones we've encountered.  I would think it would be a lot harder to get paid after the treatment.  Some of the treatments are court ordered, some are emergency admits, and they can't come if they don't pay up front.  That is why we ended up starting to do forms, people desperately need to submit the claims to their insurance for reimbursement because they had to pay up front.  We had one where the father & son both went at the same time.  Family was out upwards of $40k.

medbillgirl:
Thank you for all of your replies.  For the time being this center decided to hire a person as their biller instead of outsourcing.  We shall see how that goes for them. 

Michele:
Sounds like it may be better for you anyway.  If they insist on doing things wrong, they will eventually get in trouble and you don't need to be a part of that.
