Billing Services
Claims are submitted electronically on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis depending on provider preference.
Benefit Verification
Insurance verification is obtained for new and current patient’s that have insurance changes. Information obtained includes: Copay, Coinsurance, Deductible, Number of Visits Allowed, Authorization Requirements, Allowable CPT Codes and any other conditions of the policy. This information is then reported back to you making you aware of any amounts due by the patient at the time of service.
Prior Authorization
If allowed by the insurance carrier and authorized by the providers office this will be secured at the time of Benefit Verification.
Authorization Reports
Authorization reports can be sent out on a monthly basis depending on how often you choose the billing to be sent. The report includes patient name, insurance, authorization number, number of visits authorized or allowed, start date, and end date. This report will include all patients, allowing you to see not only those that needed authorization but any that may have a limited amount of visits per year as well. This will help save time and money by knowing how many sessions have been used and what is left preventing run over.
Authorization Management
We will alert you when authorized sessions are ending.

Office Forms
Need simple straightforward forms for your office? We can help. We have the basic forms needed already set to go.
Past Due Accounts and Unresolved Claims
Handling overdue patient accounts or claims from dates prior to account start date will be separate from the regular billing agreement. Overdue accounts take more time and are harder to get paid.
Collections
We will send Collection letters out on overdue accounts at your discretion and we can provide information to a Collection Agency on an account to our collection agency upon your approval.
HIPPA Compliant
All information obtained is only used for the purpose intended and is kept secure and private. We will provide you with a Business Associate Agreement (Privacy Agreement for Personal Health Information). Upon your request for your files.
Monthly Reports to Provider
Aging reports on a monthly basis can be sent to the provider at their request.
Posting Insurance Payments, Cash Payments, and Adjustments
All checks will come directly to you. The insurance voucher is then forwarded to us by fax or email (payment or rejections) We then will study the Explanation of Benefits (voucher) to make sure the correct payment has been made. The payments are then entered into the appropriate accounts and sent to the secondary payer if applicable. If there is an error in payment we will investigate immediately to obtain a correction or explanation.
