Q. Are
Electronic Claims a Requirement?
A. Electronic
claims are not required, but there are many advantages associated with
electronic claim filing. Health insurance carriers provide incentives like
faster payment for processing insurance claims electronically,
time-in-transit is reduced to speed payment, and administrative costs are
lower. Claims are not now required to be processed electronically, and it is
unlikely that universal electronic processing will become a requirement in
the foreseeable future.
Q. How Can I Get
Started as a medical billing service?
A. MediSoft does
not offer medical billing business opportunities, nor do we consult with
potential entrepreneurs on effective methods of operating a billing service
business. Running a billing service is much like running any other type of
business -- If you have expertise in a particular area and you can find
customers who will purchase your services, you're in business.
Q. What's the
Market for These Services?
A. There are
more than 500,000 healthcare professionals in the United States who need to
bill for their services. Most healthcare providers employ billing staff in
their own office or are part of a larger organization like a group practice
or a hospital that processes their claims and helps manage their finances.
Some healthcare providers choose to outsource their claim processing and
accounts receivable management, and qualified billing services have the
opportunity to provide these services.
