Subject: offsite billing
I am manager at and O&P provider in Michigan.
We currently employee personnel to do our billing but are considering an offsite company such as accQdata to do all our billing.
Does anybody have opinions for this type of service?
Does anybody have suggestion for a particular service?
thanks
bill
I responded yesterday to your posting but was distracted. You can contact Kathy Brown the owner of OPRS at 920-388-2788 ext 302. These people are great at their jobs and will set you up, train your staff on the data base and stay on top of the insurances. As I said we have a 30 day turn around on most claims. Jim Verhoff has been in the business for 25 plus years and will tell you that this is the best thing that he has ever done working with Kathy and her staff. If you have any questions please feel free to call me at 800-779-8480.
Thanks
Save your money, train your own employees to accurately do this work (it
is a learning process) and pay them well as an incentive.

In a previous job, I worked with Acc-Q-Data, and found them to be excellent. Our cash flow immediately improved, and we had far fewer headaches! The company I worked for has been using their services since 2000.
I own an O&P clinic in Illinois along with my wife who is a PT and has a PT clinic. Several years post, we decided to outsource our PT billing. As we were pondering this move, a doc friend warned me not to do it, he felt we would lose too much control of the process. We went ahead anyway. He was right! The process for us was a mistake and it took us perhaps three years to right the ship. We experienced some severe cashflow issues and certainly the control thing was gone during that time. Tread carefully on this decision. The company you chose may be excellent but I contend it is very difficult to know how good they are until you are in the water with them--then it may be too late!
Best to you in your decision.
We currently are using the OPIE PM software w/ Billing module. This is how
we utilize OPIE:
1)When Items are ready to be billed our in-house staff assign the item to
the Outside Billing agency thru OPIE Billing.
2)The Outside Billing service logs into our server 3X week and simply look
for items assigned to them.
3)When the claim has been paid in full they simply assign the claim back to
use for final review or appeal
4) In-house staff make any corrections or write-offs in OPIE to keep OPIE
Reports accurate
4)The Claim is then checked off as complete.
We currently use a service OPRS. We have a 30 turn around on clean claims. They are great to help you out with any problems and they stay on top of all the changes that are going on with Medicare and Medicaid. If you want contact information let me know
