I have discussed this question with other professionals in my area
Thanks for clarifying Linda. I tend to say "it's illegal to charge a %" but you are right. It's the provider who has the issue, not the billing service. But since it makes the contract void it is obviously not in the billing services best interest either. I will not delete any of the threads here as none of the information given is incorrect. The obvious part is where the original post states "I just got into this business" and the people offering information have over 50 years combined experience.
