33% isnt too bad. Most Ive seen is arund 26%. many are lower but they code it, bill it and forget it (not good at all)
9%, to me is low. Average is 11-15% but it depends on what they do for you and where you and they are located
nothing is universal You cant compare using percentages. You look at how well they do their job. There are many factors and the doctor is the huge factor. One reason is based on contracts, insurance mixes and patient mix.
why would you wish to complain. Not knowing coding and billing, your acknowledgement that you dont have the training or experience or knowledge makes me wonder why you want to complain.
When I worked for one company, they hired a consultant to look at us but thats a crap shoot because you dont know the consultant from Adam. They could be worse than your greatest nightmares. Some people with little/no training or any experience at all, decide they want to be consultants. They couldnt find whats wrong if it were displayed in neon lights. The consultant hired to look at us, lied in her report. Ive met her many times, as a speaker at conferences and I still dont trust her. She makes statements without any foundation or proof.
If you do hire a consultant, you want someone with many years of experience in the provider's specialty. You want them to have excellent training, plus excellent certifications (multiple) with the best associations. Quiz them before you hire them. Also, ask for references (preferrably the references are other doctors) and speak with the references. See if they have books or articles published. Read some of them. You want the best, hire the best or the best of the best of the best, SIR!. Id recommend someone like Sean Weiss, Kathy Young, Liz Jones, Ken Engle, Marge McQuade, Darlene Boschert, Mel Gottlieb, Mike Drinkwater, Sharon Morikone, James McCuen, or Brandi Ziesemer.
