The short answer
A billing specialist typically charges $40–$65 per hour, with a typical rate around $50. Standard invoice processing sits lower; specialized medical or insurance billing sits higher. The market spread:
| Tier | Range | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Offshore / junior | $18–$35 | Invoice entry and basic processing. |
| General billing specialist | $30–$55 | Invoice generation, statement runs, payment posting, corrections. |
| Experienced specialist | $55–$75 | High volume, complex billing rules, reconciliation, reporting. |
| Medical / insurance billing | $60+ | Coding-adjacent work, claims, payer rules, denials. |
What actually moves the price
Industry. General B2B billing is straightforward. Medical and insurance billing is a specialty of its own — claims, payer rules, coding accuracy, and denial management — and it commands higher rates because errors cost real money. Match the specialist to your industry, not just the title.
Volume and complexity. Flat monthly invoices are quick. Usage-based billing, tiered pricing, proration, or high transaction counts take more time and more care. Be ready to describe how your billing actually works when you get a quote.
Billing vs. collecting. Billing is generating and sending accurate invoices. Chasing the ones that go unpaid is accounts receivable work — a related but different skill. Know which problem you have so you hire for it.
