[humanser] recluting patients? Insurance?

[Quinto Sanchez]

Thank you Karen for sharing that. I have been intimidated to open up that 
insurance can of worms. So then a billing office will also fill out the 
applications to become a provider? How does that billing person you referred 
work with the therapist in a different state. does the therapist verbally 
communicate over the phone whatever is needed to be filled out and then they 
are faxing and scanning documents for the therapist's signature. I'm just 
wondering how that works. How much does it typically cost for a billing 
person? Sorry for all the questions.

Quinto
