Questions
Switching Billing Partners Without a Cash Flow Dip questions
How long does it take to switch medical billing companies?
Vendors commonly quote 30 to 45 days. With WeBill Health most practices are live within 3 to 5 days, because we work inside your existing EHR and clearinghouse while any payer rerouting runs in the background.
Who works my old claims after I switch billing companies?
Your contract decides. Some practices leave aged A/R with the outgoing biller for 60 to 90 days; others transfer open A/R item by item to the new partner. Agree it in writing before you give notice.
Can my old billing company keep my data?
A HIPAA business associate must return or destroy PHI at the end of the contract where feasible, and HHS has said it may not block your access to your own ePHI to settle a dispute.
Is the switching guide free?
Yes. Enter one email address and the download link appears straight away.
