<p>At Longwood University in Virginia we have a biller that handles all of our billing, credentialing, etc. We wouldn't be able to do it without the office staff. We also bill for audiology. As far as credentialing goes, you go about the process as any
other provider. You have to apply to all the insurance companies, get NPI's, etc. It is a tedious and long process. We are lucky that we started billing from the start of the clinic so we have never had to switch over. <br>

<p class="MsoNormal">At Western Carolina we partnered with a 3<sup>rd</sup> party billing company (a smaller billing company) who helped us with credentialing as well as contracts with insurance and billing. Our contract is set-up so they get 6% of what we
are paid (for which they bill – we still have some 3<sup>rd</sup> party hearing payers who want billing done through us on more of a letter/invoice and some private pay hearing aids that we bill ourselves).
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It has been amazing for us as we do not have a person in our clinic who has knowledge or has done billing. We do not get any university support for our clinic so it has to be self-sufficient. We pay for our administrative assistant as well
as any clinic supplies or other things we may need through the clinic funds.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks!</p>
