Quick Check-List for potential medical review companies

You've probably heard about the joys of outsourcing your medical billing, accounting, and claims to a medical billing company. However, there are plenty of nightmare stories of health care professionals who picked the wrong medical billing companies.

When you're looking for a medical billing company, don't get caught up in the testimonials they provide for you. These are usually from their best companies and shouldn't mean much to you. You'll want to do some research online and find out all of the reviews (good and bad) each prospective company has.

Here's a quick list of things you should find out about each prospective medical billing company:

- How long have they been in business?
- How much experience does their staff have in medical billing, coding, and claims adjustment?
- What is their claims adjustment rate? It should be lower than 25%.
- How good is their costumer service? Do they respond to your questions and concerns in a reasonable period of time?

I hope this helps to get you started in the right direction. I'll have more helpful guides and tips in the future.
