Pricing

What you pay for, and what it replaces

We have not published a price yet. We quote each practice in writing before anything is signed. Here is what the fee covers, what one in-house biller costs, and what to ask about any billing company's price.

What one in-house biller costs

Many small practices cannot afford a biller, or cannot find a good one. Here is what one costs.

When we are not a fit

If you bill one or two insurance companies, your claims are simple and you have the time, billing in your own EMR may cost you less than any billing company. We would rather say so now.

Questions to ask about any billing price
