Co-op Billing Budget (Beta)

Coops_Pix6I am taking my co-op billing idea to the next step; I am going to propose some real world numbers!

The below budget is based on NYC prices; rent, salary’s and electricity are significantly more expensive in this town than the rest of the US – I am sure some of you will laugh at these numbers.  If we use these higher numbers for assumptions, certainly there will be room to reduce expenses in the future.

For simple assumptions, I have added an additional biller for each 3 practices and divided the expenses equally by practice.  In reality a practice would have to “pay for what they use”.  A small practice may actually use only a portion of 1 biller – a small practice could get all of the benefits of a large billing company for a portion of 1 salary and overhead.  A large practice would pay a larger portion of several billers and a larger portion of the overhead.

It would be easy to see that a smaller practice could get the full services of the cooperative for less than $2,000 per month.

Salaries        
  Biller 1 $3,500    
  Biller 2 $3,500    
  Biller 3 $3,500    
  Biller 4 $3,500    
  Manager $7,000    
  Total salaries   $21,000  
Expenses        
  Rent $5,000    
  Electric $600    
  Copier $300    
  Comp MX $300    
  Consulting $1,000    
  Software $300    
  Total Expenses $7,500  
  Monthly Total   $28,500
         
  monthly total for 5 practices $5,700
  monthly total for 8 practices $4,000
  monthly total for 11 practices $3,200

Hi Gayle

We just launched “Kareo” for scheduling and billing and are using WebPT for notes. I also like ForceTherapeutics.com for notes. There is a link on the homepage for them.
