The true cost of in-house billing
Beyond salaries, in-house billing includes benefits, training, software, clearinghouse fees, and the cost of coverage when staff are out or leave.
What outsourcing changes
With percentage-based pricing, your billing cost scales with collections. You get a team rather than one person, and the biller is paid only when you are.
When in-house makes sense
Very large organizations with dedicated revenue cycle leadership may prefer internal teams. Many solo and small group practices find outsourcing more predictable.
Questions to ask a billing company
- What exactly is included in the rate?
- Are there minimums or setup fees?
- Who owns the data and system access?
- What reports will I receive and how often?
