Fee schedules

[lonelobo]

For those of you who own your own practice or have some say in it, how often do
you update your fee schedule?
Are there any indexes you use for your increases?

Increases? haha.

I think a rule of thumb is 2.5-3 X medicare. Variable though if you do alot of out of network, auto, lien etc...

Joke dude. With reducing payments, it is unlikely we need to raise our charges. What are we trying to keep up with?

My fee schedule gets modified any time someone actually pays me 100% of my charges.

Many of our commercials pay us % of billed charges

Private forum maybe?

Has anybody ever used a professional to try and negotiate with your payers? Any luck?
