Billing wiki is a collaborative electronic medical billing knowledge base for practice profitability and compliance. It includes fresh views and new concepts leveraging state of the art software and processes.

The Game of Medical Billing... published by EP Lab Digest, shares Dr. Laub's experience and offers tips on how to improve efficiency of your medical billing. Billing wiki collects practical guidelines and analysis written by experts in practice management and technology. Such material is needed given:

1. Poor billing performance of an average practice
   (17.7% of accounts receivable is beyond 120 days. Do payers take advantage of practice management incompetence?)
2. Increasing regulatory and financial scrutiny of billing processes
   (Audit risk is the only business risk not covered by any insurance.
   A random audit may result in refunds to payers going back as far as 6 years)
3. Rapid technology progress
   (Technology becomes obsolete every 36 months. Why is ROI analysis pointless?)
4. Thousands of outsourced billing service and technology vendors
   (Yellow pages lists 113 medical billing service providers in New Jersey)
