Frequently
Asked Questions
Q/A:
How long has PIP/MED NETWORK been in business?
PIP/MED
NETWORK was founded on October 1, 1993. Our company is independently owned
and provides medical billing and claims recovery services for medical
providers.
Q/A:
How much can my medical practice save by utilizing your services?
According
to HFMA, outsourcing has become increasingly popular as a way to bring
costs under control. Medical
providers reduce the need for specialized expertise and hard-to-fill
positions.
A medical practice can save a minimum of 2,100 man-hours annually, which also reduce benefits and payroll taxes. Other operating expenses that are reduced are maintenance cost with existing medical billing systems, postage and clearing house fees.
Q/A:
How do I maintain control of my medical practice when I outsource?
Your
practice will remain in complete control via the “PAL” ( Provider
Access Link) which is the latest in medical database products.
PAL enables your staff to have access to all your patient accounts,
billing and collection history, plus a full range of practice management
reports. Your practice will no longer require expenditures in purchasing
and/or maintaining a medical billing system.
Q/A:
Is PIP/MED just a clearing-house?
We
are a full-service medical billing company, which means all primary and
secondary claims are filed for your patients. Patient statements are
generated and followed-up by our patient care team members.
Q/A:
Is your fee for services based on the number of claims or by the number of
transactions?
Absolutely
not! Our number one priority is to collect your claims. We have a
one-time setup fee and an ongoing service fee is based only on
collections.
