I have 12 "shops" in Oregon and have been attempting to turn my whole business to "direct billing". I have literally scoured the nation and every glass association and glass supplier trying to find someone who does true direct billing. I would define true direct billing as getting a customer in ... doing the job... having them fill out the paperwork ... no phone call just fax or mail the peperwork DIRECTLY to the insurance company not the network with the price your company charges for a repair. I have talked to several people who have been reffered to me as doing direct billing but it turns out they do maybe 1 or 2 local companies in their area that way .. os the most common refferal I get is someone who bills the customer and let's them directly bill their insurance.

I am getting very close to the conclusion that NO ONE out there actually does direct billing. This has been a very hard uphill battle trying to get the ins. co.'s to go along with my new rules. I will be posting some of my results and how I got there in a later post .. but so far I have had limited success in switching companies to my way of thinking... but SOME success nonetheless.

f you know someone who truly does direct billing I would love to get ahold of them and pick their brians ... please tell me about them.
