But is the ratio 1 to 1? Or are there way more medical billers than physicians? Anyway, it's an unnecessary cost.

Anyway, it's an unnecessary cost.
- pc86 6y agoOne of my previous employers had approximately a dozen billers for 75-or-so physicians, and the average physician salary was $500k.
- arethuza 6y agoPresumably the billers spend a lot of time trying to get money out of insurance companies? We don't have those either.. [We do have private healthcare provides but even they seem much cheaper than the US system] Edit: Any time the US healthcare system is described on HN it all sounds rather bureaucratic and stressful - as if being sick wasn't bad enough already!
