Default If I go the Direct Bill Route

Auto Glass Repair,

I don't use any software to do my direct billing. I am still in the dinosaur ages. I just use my custom invoice and billing letter and mail it to their local insurance agent when possible to try to get a check cut from them which is by far the quickest method. Usually within one week. This does not happen all the time though and then I send it to their Insurance Company home office via snail mail. Usually you can find this information with there insurance paperwork. On occasion I have faxed it but I prefer to just mail it. I don't think there is much of a difference time wise in getting paid unless they can direct deposit your money in your account. Sorry I don't have the answer to that one maybe someone else does.

There is a program that I am starting to learn and use that might be beneficial for this and its called Omni Form 5.0. It allows you to use or make forms that have live fields for data entry which would be good for emailing and just being more legible.

If you are not going to make the the call for a claim#, make sure you ask the customer if they have comprehensive insurance first or else you won't get paid. I had to learn that the hard way.

Hope this helps.

Pay it foward,

Brian
