We are often asked what our expectations of insurance companies are.
Fairly simple, really. If you ask for the money the correct way, you will get paid. Billing electronically to Medicare or other commercial payors should turn your claim around in about 15 days. Billing by paper will take 30-45 days. Anything over 45 days needs follow up to shake the claim loose to get it paid.
We do our best work for our clients who are organized and dedicated to their practices.
Our clients who are organized - send us their charges, cash receipts, and correspondence on a weekly basis receive the best we have to offer. When we can count on your last week's business arriving at the same time each week, we shedule a time slot to get your work keyed into the computer and billed the same day it arrives in our office.
Make certain we have the intake sheets with the first intake charge, write names and notes so that we can read them clearly. Always forward on to us any correspondence you receive concerning a client such as an authorization. Don't forget to let us know about copays for each date of service or arrangements you have made with your client to pay the copay, such as mail it the next day.
Keeping good records will help you and us out immensley.
Record your copays by name on your deposit slips. Keep your own copies of your charge slips, authorizations, correspondence in your client's record. We are the custodian of your financial records and will return them to you every 60 days or shred them, which ever method suits your needs.
