2021 Medical Billing Benchmark Survey

In 2021, we conducted a survey of healthcare professionals and medical billers.

We asked three simple questions: What is the best part of your job? What is the most stressful part of your job? And, what would you change about your medical billing software? All of the questions are open-ended because we were genuinely curious about what they had to say.

Our goal is to give healthcare professionals and medical billers a chance to see how they compare to their peers and help those who serve the healthcare industry better understand the challenges that need to be overcome.
