Is Your Billing Company Costing You More Than It’s Making You?

Revenue Cycle Management

When most practices outsource billing, they expect one thing: higher collections with less headache. But what if the very billing company you trust is quietly draining your revenue instead of growing it?

The uncomfortable truth is, many billing companies fail to deliver—and doctors don’t even realize it until it’s too late.

1. Hidden Fees That Eat Into Your Margins

Some billing companies advertise “low rates,” but then add hidden charges:

  • Setup fees
  • “Technology” fees
  • Per-claim surcharges

 

When added up, you may be paying far more than you would with a transparent, performance-based partner.

2. Slow Claim Submission = Lost Revenue

In medical billing, time is money. Claims should be submitted within 24–48 hours. If your billing company delays submissions, you face:

  • Increased denials
  • Longer payment cycles

 

Permanent loss of revenue (stale claims past filing limits)

3. Poor Denial Management

A shocking number of billing companies don’t follow up on denials aggressively. Instead, they simply write them off. That means every missed dollar is money out of your pocket, not theirs.

4. Lack of Transparency

Do you receive detailed monthly reports on collections, denial trends, and payer performance? If not, your billing company may be hiding inefficiencies—or worse, underperformance.

5. No Compliance Focus

Billing errors can trigger audits and compliance penalties. If your billing company isn’t staying updated with CMS rules, MACRA, MIPS, and payer policies, you could be at serious risk.

Red Flag Checklist: Is Your Billing Company Costing You?

  • Claims not filed within 48 hours
  • Denials not appealed consistently
  • Reports are vague or unavailable
  • Revenue growth is stagnant despite patient volume
  • You’re paying additional “hidden” fees

 

If you said “yes” to even two of these, chances are your billing company is costing you more than it’s making you.
