He didn't said there is not such a law.He said that its a national law and because even such big companies like atena health are not following it its not an issue
QuoteHe didn't said there is not such a law.He said that its a national law and because even such big companies like atena health are not following it its not an issueSo basically he is saying because everyone else does it it's ok. hmm Is he giving you hard time about it?
lawyers who will tell you that it is OK to ignore the regulation, because it is not being enforced. Legally, deciding whether to obey a regulaton is a bit more complicated than just it's OK to do it because everybody else is doing it.
but from our conversation i see that its not an issue for provider's to pay % even if its illegally.
And I am impressed with how you have stepped up your game. Good job. That might sound patronizing. Please don't take it that way.
QuoteThen why do people even ask? LOL Of course it's not an issue if you don't care about following laws. I've never had a provider fight this, in fact they are QUITE grateful for the heads up, which is a positive move for me. So all the ones that want to ignore it whether it's enforced or not. .be my guess but if you already have it in your head to do it anyway, why waste the time asking about it? I asked about that because i tried to convince him to change his billing company so i mentioned that its not legal for him the way he is currently paying for his billing company!

Those of us who don't use a percentage-based pricing system are often fighting an uphill battle.
He's pushing for the language to be clearer ...Edit: That quote was in Billergirlnyc's last paragraph before she edited it. It is not there now, but I'll leave this here anyway. /Edit
QuoteThose of us who don't use a percentage-based pricing system are often fighting an uphill battle. No, actually not at all. I think the majority of the industry is just so stuck on the whole <yawn> marketing of "We don't get paid till you get paid" they have not sat down to look at it from an alternative payment method. I don't use fixed pricing. I have a monthly flat billing structure which takes into account time, expenses, hourly wage. NICE and simple. Just ask a doctor who else they split fees with, not their transcription, not their coder.. so why you? MY stand is this. I don't ever get into a negotiation about HOW I charge. You wouldn't call your mortgage company, your utility companies or even your babysitter to price haggle, so why would I? Generally I have only been ASKED "Why don't you charge a % of receipts?" That's a fair question and usually my answer is sufficient to them, it's never gone beyond me just telling them, I prefer to get paid for all work I put in, my guarantee of timely and quality service is what they are getting in exchange. If it is a NY client I will just simply tell them also about the fee-splitting law (YES, sorry Richard it is indeed enforced here) and I've always been received great by that .. especially if other billing companies have quoted them a % or they used a service that billed on a %. To them it says I CARE about their license.
No fair.. if someone edits a post, there is a reason. so I don't feel addressing something that's not there in an edited post is called for. JMHO
