In terms of cost, an in-house medical biller costs a clinic $ 14 to $ 15 an hour in the United States. An off-shore medical billing company pays less than $ 2 an hour to a medical biller. The huge difference in the hourly wages is just one convincing reason for clinics to opt for off-shore service providers. 

Offshore medical billers are adaptable to 24 x 7 shifts

The off-shore medical billing companies are able to provide 24 x 7 billing service, mainly because the support staffs of medical billers are flexible and willing to work in any 8 hour shift allocated to them. The advantage that this offers is that the billing and documenting process is continuous, and there are very few backlogs. 

Medical billing companies have better negotiation skills

In terms of follow-up of medical claim with insurance companies, negotiation skills of medical billing companies whether inland or offshore are more effective, than   in-house medical billers and this ensures that claim rejections are negligible, besides reimbursements are quicker, because ultimately medical billing charges are reimbursed to them by the clinics, only after insurance companies pay the clinics their due, unlike in-house medical billing staff, which regardless of receivables from insurance companies receive regular wages, and therefore the effort on follow-up by them is lax and less frequent. .
