The Medical Billing at Home Solution:
Here is how Home Based Medical Billing Works:
Why would a doctor require your service if it can be done in the office?
How much can I expect to make doing medical billing?
It is always good to accommodate the client. Some want to pay by the hour, by the month or by the bill. A lot also depends on the type of service you offer and the specialty of the doctor you are billing for. Taking over all billing functions including patient statements and posting of insurance payments can ring a bill of 7% to 15% of receipts. On the other hand, if you are interested in starting off by offering electronic claims filing only, typically billing services charge $2 - $7 per claim.

Here is how Home Based Medical Billing Works:
- You receive super bill/encounter form from Doctor stating what procedure was done (CPT code) and what was wrong with the patient (ICD code). These forms are a part of the Medisoft system. The ICD and CPT codes are explained in books that are very detailed. You can learn to use the code books by special training or experience. It is more than looking up something in a big detailed book. Knowing the codes enables you to get the money the doctor or other providers have coming to them. There are also several home training programs, videos and manuals that will enable you to understand the coding systems.
- You enter the information into your Medisoft Software System - Procedure Code, Diagnosis Code and HCPCS code library are available for download into your system.
- You send your claim electronically to a Clearinghouse that edits and formats your claim; the clearinghouse then forwards it to the appropriate insurance company. Medisoft has an agreement with MedUnite to submit an unlimited number of claims for a small monthly maintenance fee. In additional direct claims modules eliminate monthly fees. Contact us and we will help you decide which is best for your service.
- The insurance company forwards a check to the doctor along with a detailed statement of what was paid (Explanation of Benefits - EOB). When doctors bill on paper forms (HCFA 1500 standard claim form), the turnaround time for reimbursement is 30 - 45 days. In contrast, the electronic billing turnaround time can be as fast as 7 - 14 days.
Why would a doctor require your service if it can be done in the office?
- Cash flow is increased. The doctor does not need to update their existing computer system.
- The doctor will save money because administrative and clerical costs will decrease.
- Doctor and staff can devote time to marketing practice and treating patients.
