While any practice can outsource billing, the ones that gain the most are typically small offices or those with limited admin resources. This includes solo physicians, therapists, chiropractors, and small specialty clinics. Outsourcing removes the burden of hiring and training billers, staying updated on coding changes, and chasing down rejections. Instead, providers can focus on care. Mental health and behavioral health clinics particularly benefit, as their billing often involves time-based coding and modifier use. Specialty practices like cardiology or dermatology also gain from outsourcing to firms experienced with niche codes. Outsourced services often cost 5–8% of collections, but they bring in faster payments, reduce denials, and often pay for themselves in recovered revenue. With AI tools and dashboards, today’s billing firms give even small practices enterprise-grade billing power.
