Q: All billing
agencies promise reimbursement increases, why are you better?
Increasing reimbursement is dependent on your current collection rate. If your
time in AR ratio is high we can significantly increase it very quickly, but there are many variables. The billing function itself involves more than just processing claims.
We look at billing from the time the patient makes the appointment to the time the check is in the bank. Follow-up,
feedback and working with the doctors makes a big difference and that is what we do better.
Q: Are there any
initial delays in billing claims, if we start with your company?
No. If we have some advance notice we can have the electronic billing
(Medicare – Commercial) setup prior to start. We like to allow two weeks, as this process is out of our control. In the interim we bill on paper immediately.
Q: How can I be sure all claims are being handled properly?
1) The money will be in your bank account.
2) We offer live access to your database via a secure internet connection, you can see the progress of the work as if it were done in your own practice. In addition we provide you with monthly status reports.

Typically doctors are concerned about where the checks go. With us, all payments go to the doctor’s office, checks are deposited by the doctor and the EOBs are sent to us for processing and posting.

Yes to any company accepting electronic submission.
