Services

Billing

Let us manage accounts receivables for you, including stale and denied claims. We contact the insurance on your behalf to status stale claims, locate and obtain payments, and resolve denials. We will also file to secondary and tertiary payers.

Coding

We will code and submit claims in a timely manner with accuracy and speed using up to date ICD-10, CPT, and HCPCS guidelines.

Credentialing

We can manage your provider credentialing including NPI registration, CAQH, and network applications including Medicaid and Medicare. We will regularly update your provider directory with your major payers.

Payment Posting

Payments from insurance and patients can be posted quickly and accurately upon receipt. We can also enroll you in EFT/ERAs for most payers.

Denials and Appeals

Let us fight on your behalf for denied claims. We will find the root-cause of the denials and contact insurance to reprocess or reconsider claims. If needed, we will appeal claims.

Collections

We will collaborate the agency of your choice to recover outstanding patient balances while adhering to your practice’s policies and procedures.

“In line with HIPAA regulations and utilizing the latest CPT and ICD-10 codes, we ensure accurate and timely reimbursements for your practice.”
