Electronic Billing Service

[Guest guest]

Can someone remind me about the electronic biling service that several of you use...and rave about?

You do the billing in-house and electronically submit...it seems many of you have been happy with this system.

thanks

I use Gateway EDI for my clearinghouse

after switching from McKesson in March of this year. The reason is that Gateway

is able to autopost into my EMR (e-MDs). Although it is more expensive than

some of the other clearinghouses ($99/month), it is very easy to use, has

wonderful easy to read reports (including error reports), and it integrates

well with my EMR—saving me a ton of time. (I would say autoposting of the

EOBs is probably 4 times faster than doing it by hand). Also, I have found

their customer service to be very good. (There is always a person answering on

the other end and they always seem to know the answer). Finally, for a small

fee, they have a feature where you can upload the next day’s schedule to

have all patients insurance info confirmed prior to their appointment. As half

or more of my appointments are same day, I do not use this feature, but I would

think it would be a great asset if you were having a lot of rejected claims due

to insurances not being updated. Overall, I am very pleased with my decision to

go with them.

Do you have a "biller" in your office?

Or do you do all the billing yourself via Gateway EDI?

I do it all myself. As a

matter of fact, I just finished catching up on 6 weeks of back billing this

weekend which took about 4 hours. (No, I don’t usually get that far

behind, but I have been rather busy lately). You can visit the Gateway EDI

website at www.gatewayedi.com. Note:

No financial ties to Gateway EDI, it just works well with my software. Good

luck!
