Receivables Management

Helping you increase your cash flow

What makes our approach so effective?

• We concentrate on medical billing. We do not have to schedule patients or assist the Doctor. We do not have to schedule hospital stays, surgeries, or get pre-authorizations. We bill for the work that you have done and fifteen plus years of experience in medical billing have made us very efficient at it.
• We take a business approach to billing and do not just write off or ignore a PROBLEM in billing. Our experience with insurance billing has taught us what each carrier expects on a claim. This eliminates the need for constant re-billing of the same treatment.
• We have an overall 92% resolve rate with insurance claims in ninety days. Our system generates aging reports by the insurance carrier on a regular basis. Any claim that is older than forty days causes us to contact the insurance and request a payment date. Nothing slips through the cracks.
• 90% of all of our insurance claims are sent electronically via computer, improving payment time and cash flow. Over the years, we have built a strong line of communications with personnel at carriers and are advised of upcoming changes in their systems on a regular basis.
• Our computer system automatically bills secondary carriers when payment or notice is received from the primary carrier.
• Patient statements detail charges, when the insurance was billed, the dates and amounts of payments, and what is owed by the patient for each treatment.
• Billing is never interrupted due to employee vacations or sick days. Our staff is assigned a workload on a day to day basis. This enables us to dedicate the maximum amount of personnel to your practice.
