Full-cycle billing that treats every denial as a defect to fix.
From charge capture to payment posting, with payer follow-up and reporting included — not sold as add-ons.
What medical billing actually is, and where money is won or lost.
Medical billing is the process of turning a clinical encounter into a paid claim. It sits between the provider (who documented the visit) and the payer (who owes the money). Every step is governed by strict formatting, code, timeliness, and payer-policy rules. Miss one and the money doesn't move. This page is how we make that flow predictable.
Professional and institutional, both edges of the industry
Professional claims (CMS-1500 / 837P): physicians, groups, therapy, behavioral health, urgent care, ambulatory. Coded with CPT and ICD-10-CM, with modifiers where the payer requires them.
Institutional claims (UB-04 / 837I): facilities, hospitals, ASCs. Revenue codes, HCPCS, occurrence and value codes, condition codes, all reconciled to the encounter.
Secondary / tertiary billing: Medicare crossovers, commercial coordination-of-benefits, MSPQ workflows. Denials for "missing primary EOB" get closed at source.
The five leaks that add up before anyone notices
- Front-desk drift. Wrong insurance card scanned, subscriber ID mistyped, patient DOB off by a day. All of it denies 30 days later.
- Modifier misuse. Missing 25/59/GY/GA when the payer requires them, or applying them where they aren't allowed. Sinks clean claim rate silently.
- Timely-filing violations. Every payer has a filing window (30, 90, 180, 365 days). Miss it and there is no appeal — the claim is dead.
- Silent underpayment. ERAs pay under the contracted allowed amount. Without an ERA-vs-contract check on every posting, 2-5% of net revenue disappears month after month.
- Patient balance neglect. Statements delayed, payment plans not offered, deductible balances aging past 90 days. This is your patient AR converting to bad debt.
Industry benchmarks we hold: clean claim rate above 96%, first-pass acceptance above 95%, days in AR under 35, denial rate under 8%, net collection rate above 95%. If your practice is not tracking these numbers monthly, you are flying blind on your own revenue.
Value for the practice owner. Relief for the office manager.
Billing sits at the intersection of business results and daily operations. The owner watches revenue and margin. The admin watches the queue. We report to both, in the language each needs.
Net collections up. Days in AR down. Compliance risk contained.
- You get paid for the work you already do. Higher clean claim rate + faster follow-up + full underpayment recovery means the revenue you earned actually lands.
- Predictable monthly cash. Days in AR come down and stay down, so payroll and expansion planning stop depending on payer mood.
- Compliance handled. HIPAA, coding, timely-filing, payer policy adherence documented and defensible during audits.
- Hiring pain removed. No billing team to recruit, train, cover during PTO, or replace when they leave. One accountable vendor, one SLA, one monthly report.
- Data to negotiate with. Payer mix, allowed-vs-billed by CPT, underpayment history. You walk into contract renewals with numbers instead of hunches.
Fewer denials at your desk. Postings that stay current. A month-close that lands on time.
- Charges captured, coded, and submitted the same day. No backlog on your desk. No end-of-week scramble.
- Denials worked to closure by reason code. Each denial routed to an owner, resolved inside timely-filing, and root-caused so it stops repeating.
- Payments posted daily. ERAs, EFTs, patient payments applied every business day. Your AR is always current.
- Portal work off your list. Payer portals, clearinghouse rejections, corrected claims, refund requests: all handled and logged.
- Weekly status you can trust. Submitted, paid, denied, worked, aged. No mystery buckets in your PM system.
- A named contact. Your account has a lead on our side. Not a ticket queue.
Most billing "problems" are process problems.
A claim denied for eligibility was a front-desk gap. A claim denied for a modifier was a coding gap. Resubmitting fixes the claim; it doesn't fix the gap. That's why the same denials keep coming back.
Work every claim. Track every reason. Close every gap.
Every denial is logged by payer and reason code. Patterns surface within weeks, and we bring the fix to your practice — a front-desk checklist, a coding note, a payer-specific rule — so the denial stops happening.
