Hi, I work for a home health agency. I'd be interested in hearing from other health care providers who are using clearing houses or third-party software tools about the costs involved in using those services. I'm asking purely out of my own curiosity, just to get an idea of where my company stands. I'm not selling anything, nor will I share the detailed information with anyone, although I do anticipate using aggregated and averaged information to justify my own existence here at HHCA.
Here's what I'd like to know: How big is your company? How many claims do you process per month? How is the usage fee for the clearing house/tool structured? (Initial cost, setup fees, transaction set fees, yearly fees, fees per claim, etc.) How much of your own staff time is required to maintain the system? How much are the service fees? What is your anticipated total yearly cost for using the service? I'm not particularly interested in WHICH clearing house/ software tool you're using, but if you want to include that information, it would be fine.
