Most medical billing companies charge a percentage of monthly collections, commonly in the low single digits, while others charge per claim or a flat monthly fee. The right model depends on your specialty, claim volume and the services included.
Compare what is included: claim submission, denial management, A/R follow-up, credentialing and reporting. A lower percentage can cost more if appeals and follow-up are extra. Also compare the cost against the salary, benefits and software of an in-house biller.
