Out of curiosity, what do YOU think you should do? You started the billing service, which means you should have a basic knowledge of how to bill. And the questions you are asking are quite basic, no offense. I mean, if I was your client, and I came across this post from you, I would end my contract with you, because I would think you didn't know what you were doing, at all, and it would hurt my cash flow. Again, no offense, I am just calling it like I see it.
doing your work for all I care, so long as you know what you are doing. Which, frankly, I don't know that you do, based on your previous posts at this forum.
I need help with this. Please pour in all the information you think I should know as a biller of a out of network chiropractor. Should I bill claims to all the insurance patient's provide, whether they have OON benefits or not. I am sure about Medicare that we do have to bill, but not about other payors.I have so many questions in this. Please assist !!!
What I have understood is that non-par providers:1. can collect upfront payment from the patient at the time of service
2. Do not need to submit claims except in case of Medicare
3. Payment from insurance is normally made to the patient
4. Must verify insurance benefits prior to appointment, so as to determine the proper course of action required
What I don't understand is:1. Is it really applicable, that we would be only submitting claims for Medicare patients?
2. If not, then how do I decide which insurance to submit claim to and which not? (My doctor does submit claims for patient as a courtesy)
And I ask basic questions just to keep things simple. If someone would have noticed, I have never answered or comment on any other questions, because I am too shy to put my opinion, at least at this point when i have so much to learn. I am mute learner, with no wrong intentions!!
