Finding an eClinicalWorks® Billing Service for a New Medical Practice

If you’ve just recently opened a new private medical practice with a small staff of doctors, are you really sure you can handle billing issues with patients? What about the influx of calls you might receive about billing issues?

Both of these can perhaps take you by surprise if you haven’t planned for patient response. With a limited staff, and budget, both can broadside you with added expense and downtime.

You need to find an outsourced billing service that alleviates these stresses so you don’t start on the wrong foot.

Finding a Billing Service That Doesn’t Charge Too Much

Perhaps you can manage your phone calls in a day, though what about medical billing procedures and finding the right software?

If you’re not aware, eClinicalWorks® is one of the best (if not the best) billing software around today. Buying this on your own, though, is very expensive and not recommended for a young medical clinic.

Considering buying this software alone can cost you up to $600 per month with practice management features, you may want to outsource to a billing service with eClinicalWorks® expertise.

Once you find a service like this, you’ll want to make sure they don’t charge too much for their services. Unfortunately, far too many charge as much as 7% of your monthly revenue.

Finding one going as low as 3% with eClinicalWorks® expertise is rare, but not impossible to find.

Placing Less Pressure on New Phone Staff

With a limited staff after recently opening your doors, are you also sure you can handle a heavy volume of calls? If not, a quality billing service can offer phone services as well.

Billing inquiries are often extremely complex, especially with the necessary knowledge to communicate in basic terms so patients understand. Your new phone agents may only have training to explain billing issues in typical industry jargon.

Speaking with arcane terms only confuses your new patient base. It’s better to let your outsourced billing service handle these inquiries for you. With a well-trained staff, they’ll know how to converse with your patients in laymen terms so there isn’t any confusion.

Here at EMR Billing Solutions, we’re that rare billing service charging only 3.9%, plus answering patient billing inquiries over the phone.
