Should Medical Billing be outsourced or kept
in House?
Healthcare reforms, payment cuts and insurance company policies have increased
pressure on medical practices. In order to get paid on time, physicians are outsourcing
their billing needs as lack of time, money and resources is posing hindrance in handling
in-house billing.
By outsourcing medical billing requirements, providers will be able to reduce processing
errors in medical claims that lead to claim denials. They will be able to get paid on time
and use the spare time to improve profitability of their practice.

Can in-house medical billing help you attain best results?
There is no doubt that providers can retain control on billing services when they have an
in-house billing team but it can also result in difficulties such as:
High costs: because providers will be paying salaries and giving employee benefits to in-
house coders and billers
Investment in technology: A significant amount will have to be invested in buying latest
technology
Errors due to low productivity: if providers don’t keep an eye on billing operations,
employee neglect and low productivity levels can result in billing errors, causing denied
claims

operations and cash flow will get stalled majorly
