ROI
How We Save You Money:
Partnering with
eMedical
Billing
Solutions
will make your
practice
more money in the long run. Hiring and training new
staff, employee benefits, vacation & sick leave, and staff
turnover
are just a
few factors increasing the costs of managing an
efficient
in-house billing program. Added to the operational
overhead of day to day billing, software and hardware
maintenance, clearinghouse fees, postage, and so on, the
list of
expenditures for practices is endless.
We will cover all of these costs and
immediately do away with the problems they
create. We can clearly demonstrate how we can save
practices money, let’s
compare the core costs associated with
in-house medical billing
against working with
eMedical
Billing
Solutions.
Cost of In-House Billing:
Our
comparison begins with a typical practice with one or two
providers. Let’s assume this practice has a dedicated,
in-house
biller
receiving an annual salary of $30,000 or $14.50 per hour.
The chart
below outlines the additional costs of having a full time
employee in the office to handle all aspects of medical
billing.

Materials and Fees:
An
average practice will probably upgrade computers and
software every 3 years at a cost of about $6,000.
Spread out over those three years, we’ll assume an
average annual software and hardware expenditure of
$2,000. Since your practice will send out its own
patient statements, we’ll need about $150 per month for
postage, paper and envelops, an annual cost of $1,800.
Clearinghouse fees for electronic claims will come to
about $60 a
month, or around $720 annually.

Adding the two totals (labor +
materials & fees), the annual cost
of billing performed in-house by the practice comes to
$47,105
per year.
This is a conservative estimate does not factor in the
hidden costs of ongoing
training, unexpected leave and sudden
staff changes. Assuming
your practice sees 30 patients visits per day, 50 weeks a
year, you have 7,500 patient visits per year. If each visit
results
in an average reimbursement of
$60, our receivables income is
over $450,000 per year. At a
rate of 7%, the annual cost for
eMedical
Billing
Solutions
to
manage all aspects of your
medical billing services for the
practice our cost would be
$31,500.
Using
eMedical
Billing Solutions
will
result in a quicker cash
flow and an
annual savings of $15,605 per year!
Pricing
Sample Rate Schedule:
eMedical
Billing
Solutions
treats every practice individually,
we are
not able to offer a standard fee schedule for billing
services.
Variables that are considered when providing a price
quote
would include charge volume, types of service, specialty,
automated or paper claim submission and annual revenue.
Our sample rate schedule will range from 7-10% of your
monthly
collected
revenue depending on the workload invoiced monthly.
If
your practice services a high volume of patients, but your
fees for these visits are minimal, you will be quoted a
slightly higher
rate than
a practice with the opposite scenario.
All
patient collectables are charged at the higher rate due to
the
personal
attention we provide.
