Hello, thank you all for all the advice in regards to starting my own business. I have a few additional questions... regarding adding medical coding as a additional service to my new company. With that said should I contract a coder or should I use the CPC that maybe in the physician's office? Also, what about services such as per-auths, scheduling, ect? Finally should I market as a full practice management business or simply a claims/AR service? Thank you again  :)

I'm sorry but I'm confused.  If the physician has a CPC in the office why would it be part of your service?  We do not have certified coders on staff.  We do have coders who did not take the certification test because they didn't want to get into coding, and we offer the providers help if they need it, but we do not code.

This is a decision you need to make based on your situation.  We do not offer scheduling services because that would not fit with what we do.  We don't want to be on the phone with the patients all day, and most patients schedule when they are at the front desk.  As for pre-auths, we have tried that in the past but for us it doesn't work.  The provider gets a phone call for an appointment and takes down the information.  Then they fax it to us to check.  Then someone on our end needs to look up the info and get it back to the office.  We find it's easier to have the providers do that themselves.

Again, this is something you want to decide based on what you want your business to be doing.  We market as a full PM business, but we cater our services to what the client needs.

Thank you so much for the reply. My apologies I did not want to cause any confusion. I am in the process of starting my own medical billing business and I was seeking clarification regarding which services do I offer to the physician. Which services do you find more marketable? I live in a highly competitive area, so I am looking for a way to stand out, so I though offering medical billing and coding would be a great way to set me part.

Many Thanks  :) :)

No apology needed!  I just was unclear on that one question.  It's good to try to find some way to set yourself apart/above the other services.  Good luck!

Make sure to have excellent references. A lot of healthcare providers will ask for them.

Like any job application, references play a huge part in building trust between an employer and employee. Similarly in the medical world and between two companies doing business, it’s important that the medical billing group furnish excellent references. This enables the medical provider to understand the over protocol, worth ethic and success rate of the medical billing group.
