1. What is the worst part [...]

Following the money

Posted by admin  Published in Marketing Secrets

Associate with winners and you’ll always be successful. The advice holds for clients.
The Medical Group Management Association (MGMA) reports revenues were down 1.9 percent last year. However, urology was one of the few that posted higher earnings.

Networking

Posted by admin  Published in Networking Success

The great thing about fall is every weekend is a craft fair, apple festival, church bazaar — you name it.
So what does that have to do with medical billing? Networking.
Networking isn’t just for trade shows and industry gatherings. You never know where your next referral comes from. That means always pressing the flesh and handing [...]

Is ICD-10 another Y2K?

Posted by admin  Published in Medical coding tips

The new ICD-10 coding starts in 2013. Are your clients readying?

OB/GYNs made $237,500 last year. Pediatricians earned $187,500. General practicioners and internists received $162,500.

Posted by admin  Published in Electronic Health Records, Medical claims, Medical coding tips

90210.
If you’re older than 30, that number makes you think of the evening soap opera from the ’90s that returned last year in its second generation.
