Hello,
I am a billing manager for a mid size dermatology practice. We have 23 providers and are about to add another. The majority of our providers are full time and to give you an idea on volume, we see close to 7,000 patients per month. I'm trying to get an idea of how many billers we should have in our depatment. Currently, I have 1 patient collections rep, 5 insurance billers (who post payments, work denials, and work AR), and 1 credentialing specialist who also helps out in billing when she has spare time) and I don't think this is enough.
I'd like to get an idea of how many people other practices have in their billing departmennts. If you can please provide the size of your practice (# of doctors and visits per month) and the number of billers in your department, it may give me at least a rough idea of where we need to be and will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
