Hello - I've recently signed up a chiropractor that wants me to do everything involved with his insurance clients from beginning to end: i.e. Collect the up front payment for the provider, verify insurance coverage, submit the claim, follow up on any unpaid claims, and resubmit if necessary, Send invoices to the clients (if necessary), subtract my fee, pay the provider any amount owed to him. I'm happy for this opportunity, but have never done it. so...
1. Is it possible to do all of this as an independent biller?
2. How would I set something like this up?
3. How would I collect fees from the patients as co pays, deductibles etc. ? (I live about 50 miles away from this office)
4. Would Excel be a good tool for record keeping?
5. How much should I charge for this service?
Any input would be welcome. I am so thankful to have smart folks like you to talk to!!
