The decision
Billing support can include charge preparation, submission, payment posting, payer follow-up and working a denial queue. These are different jobs. Specify which decisions stay with a certified coder, a billing supervisor or the clinical team.
What to compare
MedicalVirtual publishes $8–$12/hour across roles. My Mountain Mover places billing in its specialised biweekly tier. HelpSquad lists digital back-office pricing for full-time work. Request a role-specific written quote before comparing an entry rate with an experienced biller's rate.
Before you commit
Track the age of assigned work, documentation quality and the share returned for correction. Do not value a billing assistant solely by claims touched. A faster queue with more preventable errors can create extra work for the rest of the team.
