What does our rate include?
One word... EVERYTHING. We have NO hidden fees or extra charges, PERIOD.
We fully understand that the success of our business depends on the work we do to ensure your business continues to succeed!
How do we justify your billing fee?
First, start by considering all billing-related expenses that could and most likely will increase. Staff salaries, benefits cost, software/hardware support fees and upgrades, the cost of stamps, statements, CMS-1500 forms etc. If/when your practice grows or takes on additional providers/locations, your business will also incur additional costs.
In-sourcing HBC means your expenses are fixed for the duration of the agreement. As your practice grows, it is HBC that will need to add staff and absorb any additional costs while you pay the same commission rate.
Another consideration is the fact that in-house employees are paid the same salary and benefits and other costs remain fixed (computers, phone, etc.), even if your practice generates less money from month-to-month. If a provider takes off two weeks during the month and your gross charges decrease by 50 percent the following month your net receipts will decline by 50 percent. With in-house billing, your overhead expenses remain the same. With In-sourcing HBC you continue to pay the same rate based on receipts collected.
Does HBC have an understanding of billing non-physician providers?
YES. Many of our clients have non-MD practitioners that we bill both incident-to and general supervision for.
