"Outsourcing the billing process in a medical practice is one management strategy that can be used to minimize the hands-on workload of the manager, while increasing the expertise in the billing process."

- Wayne P Howlett Outsourcing the Billing Process in a Private Practice Setting. ACMPE Paper. June 2002

Outsourcing the medical billing component offers providers the confidence that their billing is done correctly and efficiently without using resources that would otherwise be dedicated to patient care.In addition, using an outside billing company typically reduces the expense of medical billing by 3 to 5 percent.

Outsourcing generates more revenue, lowers expenses, and frees up staff, resources and office space for other use. The real question is 'Why not oursource medical billing?'
