Medical Billing Outsourcing, Done the Co-Managed Way
Outsource the billing workflows that drain your team without handing over the keys. Salt HealthOps runs a co-managed model with US accountability, so you keep control, your system, and visibility.
Quick answer
What is medical billing outsourcing?
Medical billing outsourcing is delegating billing and revenue cycle workflows to an external team. Salt HealthOps does this as a co-managed model: trained specialists work inside your existing system with US-based accountability, QA, and weekly reporting, so you reduce cost and capacity strain without losing control or visibility.
Why co-managed outsourcing, not a black box
The biggest fear in outsourcing billing is losing control, quality, and visibility. The co-managed model is built to remove that fear: you keep your system and data access, a US point of contact owns accountability, and you get transparent weekly reporting instead of a monthly mystery.
- You keep your system and your data access
- A US-based point of contact owns the relationship
- QA-led delivery with sample audits
- Transparent weekly reporting, not a black box
- Start by scope — no all-or-nothing handover

Cost framing
We do not publish a rate card because pricing depends on workflow, volume, specialty, and engagement model. The honest comparison is against the loaded cost of hiring and retaining a US billing FTE — not just a wage, but recruiting, training, benefits, turnover, and downtime. See the cost page for how pricing works.

Frequently asked questions
Do we have to outsource our entire revenue cycle?
No. We recommend starting with one or two workflows — often AR follow-up or denials — and expanding by scope as results build. You stay in control of how much you outsource and when.
How is this different from a typical offshore billing vendor?
Salt HealthOps runs a co-managed model: US-based accountability, your system and data access, QA-led delivery, and weekly reporting. It is designed to avoid the black-box, hands-off experience that gives offshore billing a bad reputation.
How do we evaluate quality before committing?
Start with a paid pilot on a defined claim sample, run alongside your existing team and measured against your own baseline KPIs, with a clear exit. It is a low-risk way to validate quality and fit.
