If you don’t want to lose out on reimbursements, you will have to spend money on hiring or retaining proficient coders and billers and then training them on a regular basis for any new changes. But when you outsource, these expenses also get eliminated as the medical billing company has its own team of skilled staff -
No start-up fees:
