Reduction in staffing and overhead costs is a big reason why many small and medium medical practices outsource. Medical billing and claims processing requires a team of people if you wish to manage it efficiently. Hiring, paying salaries and benefits, training and overheads can make it quite expensive for a small or medium-sized practice.

On the other hand, when you outsource to a professional service provider, they are able to achieve economies of scale, providing the same function at a fraction of the cost.

2. Efficient Processes

Outsourcing billing and administrative tasks make in-house processes smoother and reduce paperwork.

3. Minimizing Errors

Outsourcing to a service provider who has expertise in billing and coding can help your practice reduce the loss of revenue associated with claim denials. Accurate coding and claim submission improve your practice’s cash flow and bottom line.

4. Reduce Payment Delays

 Delays can hit your bottom line. In the case of in-house billing, your staff needs to divide time between claims processing and patient-centered tasks, such as answering phones and collecting information. This means delays in submitting and following up on claims.

5. Improve Patient Satisfaction

When you outsource your medical billing, your in-house staff is free to help and support patients. Happy, satisfied patients who receive prompt services are more likely to come back and refer to others. Faster and accurate claims processing also contributes to better patient satisfaction.
