Insurance Billing Basics: The Complete Guide to Getting Started with Insurance for Private Practice

[@perlitanapone8500]

I love it... well explained and easy to understand

[@charlestaylor378]

I have avoided going into a full-time private practice in speech-language therapy for several years just because of insurance billing fears. I just found the entire process to be far too complicated. Thanks to your video, I am re-thinking things. While the process still entails numerous steps, you have taken the mystery out of the process. Thank you. I look forward to more of your informative videos!

[@80monia]

Hello, any updates that you'd like to share? I'm thinking about starting my own private practice.

[@Rororizz3553]

You are a great speaker. I can follow you very well. Thanks for this.

[@Simplepractice]

So nice of you!

[@jackiekettelkamp7934]

Thank you for your simple explanation!!!You made it much easier for me to understand the process.

[@bernfran1313]

Thank you. This was straight to the point. I'm studying Medical Coding. We briefly touch on the Billing aspect while learning about diagnoses and procedures. I'm yet to understand why all insurances don't bill for the same amount... It's business, bottom line, the dollar/profit.

[@ManekaAgarwal]

Thank you so very much Jill. Just what I needed....simple, clear, and concise....may you always stay blessed!

[@cnboyle]

[@XxThingsThatRawrxX]

[@JanaeBorrego]

Is there knowledge on whether you submit a claims form when they have PPO and are paying their deductible?

[@monicarubio3818]

Thank you for your knowledge, so appreciate you and really don't take your knowledge for granted!

[@jasonmarch1983]

Technically a clearing house is not required if you get setup directly with the insurance to submit edi (is a pain for most companies) but could be worth it if you do many claims or have very little payers. Since it is almost always free with no limits

[@africalib78]

I did not know this. I thought you always needed a clearing house!

[@jasonmarch1983]

@@africalib78 yeah most of them use some form of ftp just connect you computer, it shows the folder and drop the the edi(s) file in. they set you up with the user name and password.

[@randolphwright3990]

So the clearing house is basically a middle person to review your claim before it gets to the insurance and if you are set up with the insurance company you don't need a clearing house right? Or does the insurance require it?

[@jasonmarch1983]

@@randolphwright3990 yes Clearing House is a middle man that pre-processes your claims prior to sending to claims dept. Many insurance companies use specific Clearing houses. Fees are common between sending claims between clearing houses. So another way to get free claims. Is to register with every Clearing House your payers use. If your emr has an edi setting per insurance. (Even the free openemr does) when you export your claims it will batch correct claims to correct clearing house. This can save considerable on fees.

[@dashawna333]

Thank you so much for this information

[@amberblock6041]

What is an insurance write-off? My agency charges $200 per session collects a copay of $35, leaving $165 insurance charge. Insurance paid $50, contractual obligation is is $114 and appears as a write-off. Please make it make sense.

[@cmr5180]

If the provider is in network with the insurance, they have a set of fee that they will charge based on the provider-insurance contract. The provider will normally write their charge but the insurance will only pay what was agreed upon and the remaining balance will be written off. Nobody will pay for it.

[@chewie1355]

Can CMS 1500 paper forms still be used?

[@davidjones5319]

Great overview!!!

[@thespiritofyou1836]

Simplepractice, do you offer mileage expense report tracking?

[@monicarubio3818]

Do you think I should go to school to take medical billing classes? In order to get my clinic started to working with the insurance companies?

[@Dana-kc7gl]

[@littlestation3222]

[@melaniegrooms6556]

[@amberblock6041]

[@Simplepractice]

Glad it was helpful! We just published two new videos about insurance, or you may be interested in our "Ask A Biller" video series, all about insurance billing.

[@MrMT-gt9xm]

Thank you, do you know how to verifiy the isurance company

[@vaghanmikaelian1923]

If a doctor charges the insurance company $1,500 for services and the insurance company pays only $100 per contract rates what happens to that $1,400 balance? Does the Doctor only make $100 for a service that would have cost an uninsured patient $1,500?

[@BeauTEAfulT]

Yes

[@Deanzphx]

Cool video

[@olakunleadewaleadegbile5301]
