As we stated in the previous posting we are gathering information on educational resources for our subscribers. I read all the time and enjoy reading about a variety of different things. I was emailed a link to this article by the author, Chris Thorman, who blogs about medical billing software, and am happy to post a link to it here:

: http://www.softwareadvice.com/articles/medical/medical-best-practices-advice/when-should-you-outsource-your-medical-billing-1032610/

The article talks about outsourcing your billing and some of the factors you should consider when or if your practice should do it. Granted, you may not have the input into the decision of if or when to outsource your employers billing but it is a very informative article none-the-less. Remember that keeping yourself informed about every aspect of Patient Accounting is always a good thing. You never know when an article, website or newsletter information may spark an idea to help your company’s bottom line. You may even get inspired to change your current job and explore other areas in this field that might prove financially and emotionally beneficial.

If you have read an article online that might be informative and/or educational to your fellow patient access reps, medical insurance clerks, registrars, etc then please send us the link and we will be happy to write a posting about it. We would greatly appreciate it if you would send a link to our blog to your fellow employees as well. The more patient accounting people who subscribe to this blog and send in articles, links and give us educational resources the better we can do our jobs!
