I recently left a practice after 9 years, 5 as their medical biller/coder. The physician has reached out asking if I would be willing to assist with some issues they are experiencing.
From what I understand, their clearinghouse rejections (Waystar) have not been worked for approximately 4 months, and there may be a mix of insurance-related and coding-related issues.
I am considering offering short-term consulting services to review the rejections, identify root causes, and provide guidance on next steps. I am not looking to return as an employee.
For those of you who do independent billing/coding consulting, what would you consider a fair hourly rate for this type of revenue cycle troubleshooting in the Western NY area? Would you structure this as an hourly engagement or a flat assessment fee?
I appreciate any insight!
