I have been frustrated when I continually see Doctors & other medical professional try to manage their billing on their own. They are not only losing $1,000.00 by not migrating to an outsourcing billing contractorm but how they plan to keep track & maintain compliance with all the new rules that are coming, is beside me.
Doctors are under siege from all sides. You just need to look at the Medicare Recovery Audit Contract (RAC) to see how the government revenue policy is developing. It is not to be either fair or equitable. They basically blackmail you by taking your perceived overpayments upfront and then negotiate how much they will return. They have an active marketing campaign to convience the public that the government is looking out for them and that both doctors and insurance companies are recovering too much money. Insurance companies and Medicaid are considering similar program to RAC to go after perceived doctor overpayments. I don't know how a doctor will be able to make it without help. Doctors just don't have the staff or expertise to be able to respond to and keep track of this assault on their bottom lines.
