Are you saying a standard isn't necessary?

Not at all; I believe standards are necessary. The purpose of VerifiableBilling.com and the consulting services offered by ACT is to educate those contracting with outsourced transcription services to understand that:

  • the VBC is not a standard; it has not undergone the rigorous process required for standards setting;
  • a standard is not the same thing as verifiable or that standards can't be manipulated.

    • The decision to adopt a standard should be an informed one, based on objective information. I have no bias against the VBC; however, I don't feel the white paper is completely objective in its presentation or conclusions, nor has it undergone the process required for true standard setting.
