Coding or Billing...Confused

<< < (2/3) > >>

PMRNC:
Where in NY are you?

1) they pay cost, it's their responsibility to make sure you received properly coded encounters
2) how data is transferred depends on system in place, providers that have to rely on billing companies to download and transfer from their systems save NOTHING.. you need to have your own system in place. OR if the provider has a system in place it should be YOU that finds the solution for transfer. Having them do the work and then you transferring it direct or to CH is completely ineffective, old school and market is dead on that.  Providers want an all inclusve way to save by outsourcing. They already know they can do the work and hit the transmit button.
3)  I don't think there are any offices left w/out a PM solution already in place.. Today's billing company has to be ready to step in

I am in Brooklyn..

So I understand, I don't have to purchase a PM software for a provider. Though I can advice him, but he will be the one who will purchase and contract with the company..

Well, that's not exactly what I'm saying.  Years ago I would have said a billing company has to have software and be ready to set up a new provider.. however in today's business most doctors HAVE a solution set up and for them to switch is a royal pain in the rear.. today's billing company can be diversified and market based on their experience and ability to work with the system the provider has in place. I've seen many billing companies turn down clients because the client didn't want to switch software..that's nuts. An experienced and / or trained medical biller will be able to work in any system proficiently.. save the client a nice big chunk of change and work with what they have in place when possible.

SnyderKristine:
I think I will explain this to the client, and he would be happy to continue using his software rather than switching...

SnyderKristine:
But, I still have this question answered, which certification would I need being a Medical Billing Service Provider: CPC by AAPC or CMRS by AMBA (I just discovered)
