Pricing
A percentage of what you actually collect. Here is how that works and what drives it.
We charge a percentage of net collections. Not of what was billed, of what actually lands in your account. If a claim does not get paid, we do not get paid on it either, which is the only pricing model that puts us on the same side of the problem as you.
The rate depends on three things: your specialty, your monthly claim volume, and your average claim value. A high-volume practice with low-value claims takes different work than a low-volume practice with complex interventional coding, and the rate reflects that.
There is no setup fee, no software fee, no minimum, and no long lock-in. The agreement is month to month with 30 days notice.
What in-house billing actually costs
Worth doing the arithmetic before comparing a percentage against what feels like a fixed salary.
| Metric | Billing in house | With AsesorMD |
|---|---|---|
| Salary per biller | $45k to $70k | None |
| Benefits, tax and overhead | Roughly 20 to 30% on top | None |
| Cover during leave or turnover | Billing stops or you pay a temp | Team coverage, no gap |
| Recruitment and training | Recurring cost every time someone leaves | Ours to absorb |
| Software and clearinghouse fees | Yours | Usually yours, but we work inside your existing stack |
| Cost when collections drop | Unchanged | Drops with them |
Ranges above are general US market figures for comparison, not a quote. Your actual in-house cost depends on your market and staffing.

Pricing questions
Why not publish a single percentage?
Because the honest rate depends on your specialty, claim volume and average claim value, and a made-up number would only need renegotiating once we saw your data. We give you the exact rate after the free audit, before you commit to anything.
Is there a setup fee?
No. There is no setup fee, no onboarding fee and no charge for the initial practice audit.
Are we locked into a contract?
No. The agreement is month to month with 30 days notice. If we are not earning the fee you should be able to leave, and a long lock-in mostly protects the billing company.
Does the percentage apply to patient payments too?
Yes, where we are handling patient billing and collections. That work is part of getting you paid and it is the part most practices most want to hand over.
What about credentialing, is that separate?
Credentialing is priced per provider per payer rather than as a percentage, because the work is fixed rather than proportional to collections. It can be bought on its own without billing services.
What happens to the fee during the A/R cleanup?
Recovery on aged A/R that predates our engagement is usually priced separately from the ongoing rate, since it is one-off work on claims we did not file. We agree that before we start.
