In House Accounting vs Outsourcing to Cred Books
Managing healthcare financial operations in house creates compliance risks and high overhead. Here is how in house teams compare against Cred Books for medical practices.
| Factor | In House Team | Cred Books Outsourcing |
|---|---|---|
| Revenue Cycle Tracking | Manual matching of insurance and patient deposits, frequent claim errors | Automated clearing account reconciliation across all payer portals daily |
| Provider Payroll and RVUs | Complex RVU and call pay calculations prone to payroll delays | Accurate RVU and tiered compensation processing every pay period |
| Medical Supply Inventory | Expensed immediately without tracking landed cost or expiration loss | Capitalized inventory accounting tracking medical supplies and pharmaceuticals |
| HIPAA Compliance | Internal staff may lack privacy protocols for patient financial records | Strict HIPAA compliant financial workflows with encrypted data storage |
| Practice Reporting | Basic quarterly P and L that fails to show departmental profitability | Monthly P and L by provider, location, and service line for clear visibility |
| Cost to Practice | High salary plus benefits, turnover costs, and software subscriptions | Single predictable monthly fee, saving 30 to 50% versus in house staff |
What You Should Know About Healthcare Accounting Before Outsourcing
Healthcare accounting has unique complexity around insurance claim reconciliations, physician compensation, and privacy regulations. Before making the switch to an outsourced model, here are six sector specific insights every practice owner should understand.
Revenue Cycle Management Requires Daily Clearing Account Matching
Medical practices receive batch deposits from Medicare and private insurers combining multiple patient claims. Your outsourced accountant reconciles clearing accounts daily so cash flow reflects real revenue, not estimates.
HIPAA Compliance Extends to Financial Data
Financial records containing patient names or insurance details are subject to HIPAA rules. Cred Books maintains strict security protocols, encrypted file sharing, and access controls for all healthcare financial records.
Physician Compensation Models Require Accurate RVU Tracking
Doctor pay often relies on Work Relative Value Units (wRVUs) or net collections. Accurate month end bookkeeping is essential for calculating fair physician compensation without administrative disputes or errors.
Medical Inventory and Supply Costs Impact Margins
Surgical supplies, pharmaceuticals, and PPE represent major expenses. Proper inventory accounting tracks supply utilization and prevents overstocking or product expiration losses across departments.
Departmental P and L Gives Location Visibility
Multi location clinics and dental practices need P and L statements for each facility to determine which locations and specialties drive profitability and which require focused cost control interventions.
Who This Service Is Right For
Cred Books supports solo medical practices, multi provider clinics, dental groups, surgical centers, mental health practices, physical therapy clinics, and healthcare staffing agencies of all sizes.
Healthcare Accounting: Key Facts
What is revenue cycle management in healthcare?
Revenue cycle management (RCM) covers the full financial process from patient registration and insurance verification through claims submission, payment posting, denial management, and final collections.
How does HIPAA apply to accounting and billing?
Any financial record that includes patient identifiers (name, date of birth, or claim number) is Protected Health Information (PHI) under HIPAA. Accounting teams must use encrypted platforms and signed Business Associate Agreements.
What is RVU based physician compensation?
Relative Value Units (RVUs) measure physician work output. Many practices base doctor pay on the total wRVUs generated per month. Accurate bookkeeping and EHR integration are essential for fair, timely compensation calculations.
How does outsourcing save costs for medical practices?
Medical practices typically save 30 to 50% compared to an in house financial team while gaining specialized expertise in healthcare compliance, insurance reconciliation, and monthly P and L reporting by service line.
