Outsourcing your billing should simplify your operations and boost your revenue. But if you’re still seeing drops in collections, rising denials, or frustrated patients — something’s off.
The truth? Not all billing partners are created equal.
If your billing company isn’t aligned with your practice goals, they could be doing more harm than good. The wrong partner can lead to delayed payments, claim write-offs, and compliance risks you can’t afford to ignore.
6 Red Flags Your Billing Partner Might Be Failing You
-
Your Denial Rate is Climbing Are claims being denied frequently — and worse — not followed up? A good billing company doesn’t just submit claims, they fight for them.
-
Poor Communication and Follow-Ups Are they requesting chart corrections, modifier clarifications, or eligibility details in a timely way? Silence could be costing you thousands.
-
Delayed or Incomplete Claim Submissions Claims must be clean and submitted promptly. If payments are consistently late, it’s time to dig deeper into their workflow.
-
Lack of Transparency Can you view your billing data in real-time through a secure portal? If you’re flying blind, it’s a trust issue — and a risk.
-
Patient Complaints Are on the Rise Patients calling about unexpected bills or unclear charges? Your billing company is often the front line of patient experience. Unprofessionalism here reflects poorly on your practice.
-
No Strategy to Recover Aging A/R What’s their plan for accounts stuck in aging buckets? If they’re not proactively working your AR, revenue is being left on the table.
A Billing Partner Should Be a Revenue Partner
The right medical billing company doesn’t just process claims — they drive results. They reduce denials, protect your data, improve your cash flow, and give your staff time to focus on what matters: patient care.
How to Protect Your Revenue
-
Audit your billing performance quarterly
-
Ask for detailed denial reports and A/R summaries
-
Ensure your partner is HIPAA-compliant and credentialed
-
Review the contract and KPIs regularly
If your current billing partner isn’t transparent, strategic, or proactive — it’s time to make a switch.
