Billing Performance site is dedicated to helping doctors, office managers, and other healthcare professionals in private practice choose the best billing company for their needs.

Billing Performance collects practical guidelines and analysis written by experts in insurance, technology, and practice management. Such material is needed given:

1. Poor billing performance of an average practice

   (17.7% of accounts receivable is beyond 120 days)

2. Increasing regulatory and financial scrutiny of billing processes

   (Audit risk is the only business risk not covered by any insurance.

   A random audit may result in refunds to payers going back as far as 6 years)

3. Rapid technology progress

   (Technology becomes obsolete every 36 months)

4. Thousands of outsourced billing service vendors

   (New Jersey alone lists over 100 billing firms)
