The billing in or contracted out conversation goes on periodically and people's opinions are always strong
I would add that as I have watched IMPs over the tlast decade those who have lasted have often NOT been doing the billing Billing causes burnout As to 8 % that is standard and for the service of someone taking the calls and arguing with insurers and knowing the rules although I make no argument that coding as it is should even exist!11, 8% in a small practice might be?? under 10,000 a year If you have an employee you pay them and do their payroll taxes and W 2 and w 4 whatever, need ot think about benefits/ space/ secret santa parties etc And workers comp And supervising them In a tiny practice You need a person to take in the deposits and another t o deposit them for safety. Etc.
