Switching billers

Switch anesthesia billing companies without losing the month you are in

Most groups stay with a bad biller because they fear the handoff. ClearBilling has taken over anesthesia books for over 25 years. We will tell you exactly what to export, what we bill going forward, and what happens to open A/R. USA-based, woman-owned, 100% onshore.

What to pull from the current vendor

Do this before you give notice if you can. Factories get slower after they know they are fired.

  • 90 days of billed claims with CPT, modifiers, units, and payer
  • Open A/R aging by payer and DOS
  • Denial report with reason codes, not just 'pending'
  • Provider roster, NPIs, tax IDs, and payer IDs
  • Payer contracts or at least conversion factors and fee schedules you have
  • Modifier mix on the last 90 days (AA / QZ / QS vs whatever they actually filed)
  • Credentialing tracker: what is pending, what is participating

How we cut over

New dates of service come to us on an agreed go-live. Open A/R can transfer, stay with the old vendor for a wind-down, or split by DOS. We will pick the version that does not drop claims on the floor. You keep your EHR.

What we will not do

We will not trash-talk your current company on a sales call and then miss your first week of charts. If we cannot staff the start date, we will say so. A small dedicated team means we take work we can actually do.

FAQ

Straight answers for practices comparing anesthesia billing companies.

How long does a switch take?

Credentialing gaps drive the clock more than coding. If panels are already in your group's name, new DOS can often move in weeks. If providers are unenrolled, we start those files immediately and bill what is billable.

Will you work the old company's aged A/R?

Yes, when you want that. Bring the aging and the denial file. We will tell you what is recoverable.

Do we have to change EHRs to switch?

No.
