MeleeECI,

I enjoyed our discussion about this topic last week and as per that phone call my method of billing meets your definition of direct billing. I have never signed an offer and acceptance contract with any network. I have never sent my paperwork to any network directly. I always send all invoices and my direct billing letter to the local agent or the home office. It has on occasion been forwarded to their respective network. This is fine with me as long as I get paid in full, which I always have. I have never been short paid or had an invoice sent back. I do educate my customers of there options on handleing their claim. If they want to call to inform their insurance company thats fine or if they want me to call thats fine also. If not, I make sure they have comprehensive insurance and no call is made. Either way I still send it direct to the agent or home office for prompt and accurate payment. This has prompted phone calls to verify service, which is minor aggravation for payment in full. By not calling also prevents the potential for steering.

As I stated, I do believe that my direct billing letter is a major component of the success I have had to date. I will continue this process until it does not produce the same result. At that time I will have to evaluate other avenues of billing. I know you as well as many others have requested a copy of my direct billing letter. I cannot risk my financial staus by comprimising my means of billing. I have no problem supplying help that will not possibly jepordize my company. I am sure you can understand my concerns.

If I can do anything else just give me a call.


Pay it foward,
