Hey there everyone, 

Have you ever hired someone to handle your insurance billing, only to have it turn into a total mess? Maybe even a nightmare? 😵‍💫

If so, you're not alone in that! 

Today, I’ve shared with you the unvarnished truth about my own experience with insurance billing companies. Because over the course of 20+ years in private practice, I switched billing providers seven different times.

Yes... Seven. Times.  

It was quite the journey.

Not gonna lie. 😒

But here's the thing.

There are times when hiring a billing company is EXACTLY the right thing for you to do. And handled well, it can bring you peace of mind, better cash flow, and even more business. 

But handled poorly, it can cost you. A lot. 

Today, I thought it might help if I told you some of the mistakes I made - and lessons I learned - so that you can get this right from the start!  

In this episode, you'll hear:

  • The one type of billing company that never worked out well for me (and the one that finally did).
  • The most important rule when it comes to letting other people handle your money.
  • Exactly what questions to ask when vetting a billing company (and exactly WHO to ask for reviews).
  • My go-to resources if you need help with your billing (or - if you want to handle it yourself 🤓)

So give this a listen. 

Because after going through 7 of these companies and countless headaches, I've learned a thing or two that might just save you years of frustration.

To your success,

~Wendy

P.S. While you’re here, can I ask a favor?
