I really enjoy the following resource Billy App when comparing rates for testing and procedures in differing states. This tool allows you to input the CPT (procedure code) and zip code and will display the range of prices for different facilities.
The tool permits 3 free searches/month; anything beyond this requires a $10/month subscription.…[Read more]

Hi all,
1st question: I’ve had this come up several times – a family member or friend wants to pay for services and would prefer that the client not know how much it costs. I have still had the client sign the standard contract which outlines my fees, and then we all just hope they forget about it. What’s your opinion on having a variation of…[Read more]

Thank you for sharing, Linda. My first thought was patient rights to an appeal with Medicare QIO. However, a decision is not rendered weeks later as in this delayed discharge case. I’ve only had one client in two years where we appealed the discharge because the surgeon, his NP, and the hospital case manager were all rendering different opinions o…[Read more]

Hi Schandelle,
Personally, I have one billing rate for ‘complex/medical advocacy’, always billed at ten hr retainer increments, and a lower rate for medical billing, with a four hour retainer charged at a time. Even though my personal contract states the retainer balance will not be refunded. If the client cancels the contract, I tell them ver…[Read more] -

Hi All,
I wanted to poll the crowd. If you have retainer contracts with clients:

I have either: upfront bulk purchases of hours OR a monthly payment model that also comes with bulk hours at a discount, and additionally grants more access to me (I extend my hours of availability depending on the level).…[Read more] -
