Hire a Remote Healthcare Billing Specialist for Your Florida Practice
Full-time remote medical billers on Eastern Time for Florida practices. Medicare, Medicare Advantage, Florida Medicaid, and commercial claims. HIPAA compliant, from $1,500 per month.
Why Florida Practices Hire Remote Healthcare Billers
Florida has the second-largest Medicare-eligible population in the country per CMS data, with more than 5 million enrollees, and the state has one of the highest Medicare Advantage penetration rates in the US. For practices in Naples, Sarasota, The Villages, Fort Myers, Boca Raton, and the Gold Coast, the payer mix skews heavily toward Medicare and Medicare Advantage. That mix comes with specific denial patterns, prior-auth requirements, and documentation rules that a biller has to know cold. Primary care, cardiology, orthopedics, dermatology, and home health practices across Florida all run billing teams that are never fully caught up.
Local Florida billers run $22 to $28 per hour per Indeed Tampa and Jacksonville listings, and BLS May 2023 data puts the national median for medical records specialists (which includes billers/coders) at $47,180. Loaded, a Florida seat is $45,000 to $58,000 per year. Experienced billers are also hard to keep. Hospitals in Jacksonville, Tampa, and Miami pull talent out of private practice constantly.
A Teckas remote biller is a full-time dedicated employee working your Eastern Time hours, inside your practice management system, under a signed BAA, from a HIPAA-compliant workstation. From $1,500 per month all-in.
