eClinicalWorks® Billing Companies: How Can You Determine If You Have The Right Billing Company?

How will your medical practice know the difference between a billing company that will only be good for a few things and one that you can give your patient’s information to without having to worry?

If you already know what criteria or standards you should judge a medical billing company, you will be able to choose the company that will allow you to focus on providing excellent care to patients, without having to worry about billing.

When you want to choose the right medical billing company, you should choose based on the following:

• The quality of service they provide
• Their ability to use technology to improve your medical billing system
• Years of experience
• The number of clients they already have
• If they have the ability to add new clients on a consistent basis
• The cost for their services

eClinicalWorks® billing companies are equipped with tools that will fit into your practice’s medical billing system. Your medical practice needs to work with a billing company that will perform several functions, including the following:

• Handling claims
• Following up with the insurance carriers
• Posting of the payments
• Payment processing
• Sending invoices to the patients
• Providing support when needed
• Handling the transfer of unpaid bills to collection agencies

These functions are the heart and soul of your medical practice; if you hand over your medical billing services to a company that does not do at least half of those functions, your medical practice will not survive. Your medical billing company may also provide other function, such as scheduling appointments and verifying insurance eligibility.

The way your medical billing company performs these functions and others will certainly have either a positive or negative impact on your bottom line. Do you have the right medical billing company on your team?
