8 Reasons to Outsource Medical Billing Services

In a Huffington Post article, Tom Lowery, an entrepreneur, writer and corporate training specialist, lays out eight reasons outsourcing medical billing services can help a healthcare organization.

The eight reasons are:

1. Third party medical billing professionals will most likely be more diligent about faster collections and resubmitting claims.
2. Employing a staff for billing purposes can get expensive.
3. Outsourced billing companies have more billing and coding expertise and necessary resources.
4. Certified billing companies are compliant with the latest healthcare laws.
5. Facilities can operate at top potential and eliminate costly errors.
6. Patients have less patience and want to cut through the bureaucratic hurdles preventing them from securing insurance.
7. Patients who aren't qualified for Medicaid and have no insurance can benefit from the wide variety of skills and alternatives that outsourced billing companies can often assist with.
8. Creating a collaborative and positive billing experience for patients results in a financially solid bottom line.
