If you answer “yes” to most of the following questions, then you should probably consider outsourcing:

• Is your overall collection rate declining?

• Are you experiencing an increased number of denied claims?
• Is your overall frustration level regarding your billing/business office very high?
• Are you facing a major capital investment in new hardware or software?
• Are your computer support fees to high?
• Are you having a difficult time keeping or hiring experienced billing staff?
• Are you spending too much time on the business aspect of medicine?

• Are you planning to expand your practice?
• Do you believe that your practice's cost structure is too high?
