Look in your community's yellow pages and there will be some "billing
services" listed (there certainly are here in little Keene - they do
some of the dental practices) - you can ask what they charge for medical
billing and ask if you can see a sample contract as you are looking into
this option.
That doesn't mean you want to do YOUR bills that way - just that you are
looking into the option (as you may do this for someone else).
If you don't want to do it - then your tenant can send it to a local
biling service ...
Legal opinions are also not unreasonable as someone suggested.
