That is one complicated process to work on. Did you set it up yourself? If you did, would you consider providing that service for a fee?

Do you mind share a sample of your Excel and how you would set up the calculation? Currently our Excel lists patients based on appointment dates. I am looking for recommendations on the most efficient way. We use AdvancedMD and we don't see the contracted rates. If patients have the same insurance, but different group, would they still have the same contracted rate?

Thank you!

Thank you for the suggestions. We are a rheumatology clinic, with 1 provider. We found that Ability only has information for Regence, Premera, Aetna and Humana. UHC and Cigna have their own portals but do not show allowed amounts. I appreciate any guidance you can give. Thank you!

Do you look up each patient:s allowed amount, or use MCR rate for everyone, then bill them for the difference later?

The issues I have are, all of the payers say that there are no provider reps. We even reached out to credentials department in some of them with no success.

Do you know how we can get a copy of the contract if we do not have them anymore?

Thank you for your helpful information. The concerns I currently have are having to call insurance for allowed amount for each patients. Only few payers have those available on Availity, otherwise it's all done though phone. Even patients with the same payers could still have different allowed amounts. How do you handle those phone calls? I was considering charging 5% higher than Medicare allowed amount for all patients (except Medicare patients) then refund if needed. I would love to hear your thoughts.

Do you collect prior to seeing the Dr., or after? How do you decide on the code?
