When medical practices consider hiring a billing company, usually their main question is, “What is the cost?” While this is an important question to ask when deciding if this is a viable service for your business to utilize, it is equally important to ask, “What are the costs of not using an eClinicalWorks® billing company?” In this blog post we will describe some of the costs medical practices can have if they don’t use an eClinicalWorks® billing company like EMR Billing Solutions.

1. In-House Billing Staff: When you do billing in-house, you are paying billing staff either hourly or a salary. This might be the best choice for your business but for many smaller medical practices, they don’t have enough billing to have a full-time billing staff member. Some practices find themselves paying employees who don’t have enough work to do or have a hard time finding someone who only wants a few hours a week of billing work. Staffing for billing can be tricky, especially when your medical practice only has a handful of practitioners. It’s actually more cost-effective to outsource.
2. Write-Offs Due to Error: If your billing staff in-house doesn’t have the level of training billing professionals have, they can miss payment from patients or insurance companies due to error. Not using the right medical coding is a big way practices see money fall through the cracks because insurance companies don’t pay the correct amounts if the billing is inaccurate.
3. Billing Companies Charging Too Much: When a billing company works with practices using a variety of EMR systems, their training and staffing costs are higher, putting more of the cost on you. When you use EMR Billing Solutions, the cost is lower because we only have to train on and stay up-to-date with one system.

These are just some of the costs of not using an eClinicalWorks® medical billing company like EMR Billing Solutions. Spend your money in the right place to get the most returns with EMR Billing Solutions.

In today’s economy, many consider “outsourcing” a dirty word. Many associate it with down-sizing, poor service quality, and foreign workers. However outsourcing as a business concept is entirely separate from the stereotypes associated with it. Outsourcing can, in fact, increase quality while preserving your skilled domestic workforce. Here is an explanation of outsourcing and how it can increase the efficiency and quality of your medical practice.  Outsourcing is defined in Investopedia as “the business practice of hiring a party outside a company to perform services and create goods [that were] traditionally performed in-house.” In short, outsourcing eliminates demands on your practice for such services such as data entry, customer service, and medical billing. Employees can specialize on tasks more specific to your business, increasing your efficiency, work-load, and income. Most importantly the company you outsource to, will specialize in the service you need, saving you costs on training a multi-skilled workforce. It is also common to find a US-based company to manage your needs, allowing you to work with a company that speaks your cultural language. There is a variety of quality outsourcing for companies just like us, EMR Billing Solutions. We offer the best in specialized solutions for your medical billing needs, using eClinicalWorks® EMR to manage your medical billing department and free up your secretarial staff for other tasks.

Operating a medical practice entails lots of effective communication with patients in order to maintain good rapport, keep those patients coming back as needed, and give them the best customer experience. Part of this communication falls into the realm of billing questions.

This is a delicate topic because patients are often confused and maybe upset when they have questions about a bill. Whose job it is it answer those questions? You may have billing staff or front desk staff who field billing inquiries. But using an outside billing company allows you to send those billing questions into the hands of people who deal with billing inquiries every day and have the most industry expertise. This is the kind of experience your customers have throughout the billing process if you use Expert Billing Service Plus for your eClinical Works® billing support.

For a moment, step into the shoes of one of your patients. You’ve just been in for a visit and you paid a co-pay at the time of service. But shortly after that, received another bill from the office. You are confused because you thought you paid your portion and your insurance would pay the rest. When you call the office, the front desk transfers you call to our trained experts at EMR Billing Solutions. Right away the call center staff is able to look at your bill and any correspondence and payments from your insurance company. They are able to see one of the service provided was not covered by your insurance so that is why the remainder of the bill came back to you. Thankful to understand your bill, you can confidently pay your doctor without worrying you are paying something you don’t need to pay.

This kind of service is invaluable to your business if you get a lot of billing inquiries. Save your staff time and trouble by using the Expert Billing Service Plus from EMR Billing Solutions.
