What percentage of collections does a medical billing company charge a doctor?
There are many variables when determining how much to charge a Dr. for billing services. Rates will vary base on specialty, volume, payer mix, average charge, average collections and other factors. I've seen rates as low as 3.5% and as high as 12%. What must also be considered is the quality of the billing service. A lower rate doesn't necessarily translate to cost savings. A good billing service will be diligent in collecting outstanding accounts and even at a higher rate the Drs. net cashflow may be greater than with a lower priced billing service.
