We currently outsource to a different billing service but don't know if they are doing a good job. At times this creates trust issues. Why will it be better if we change to iNtelli-Bill?
Referring back to the first Q&A above we began as a software developer. This provided us then and still gives us today a look under the covers as to what brings in more revenue. We work closely with our clearing houses to dissect every day what changes the payers have made to their filing requirements. Considering we created and constantly update our own software these changes are implemented almost immediately. No other billing service working with 3rd party software has this capability.
