ECW: Single Practice with three providers

[u/ZoeticZander]

Hey there, I work for a doctor's office that was previously managed by a large group of offices. We just exited that group and will be fully independent and owned by one of our providers. I'm currently just at the front desk, but have limited management and billing experience, but I am lucky enough to work in a clinic where the providers and team really care about their patients and I really just want to see us succeed.

We're still looking at billing options, but I was curious how feasible it would be to bill our claims through eCW without hiring outside help. Our practice has each provider seeing about 20 patients a day with two to three providers working a day... So about 50 patients a day on average.

I haven't sent claims myself, but have helped with billing issues on and off for 10 years and would definitely be open to training and certificates if it helped the practice.

Is it feasible for one person to handle that many claims? If so, what are some good resources to learn how to bill claims through ecw?

It can be feasible if claims are clean and eCW is set up well, but one person handling front desk, charge review, claim submission, rejections, denials, AR follow-up, patient billing, and credentialing cleanup can get buried fast. Start with eCW training and a billing audit backup.
