While patient care remains a top priority for all medical practices, they are still businesses that need to create profit in order to survive and compete. Being such, high efficiency of billing processes is imperative for medical practices.
Medical billing comprises complex processes involving multiple variables at various levels. These variables could be in the form of manual errors during coding, claims denials from insurers, delays in claims processing at insurer’s end etc. Consequently, this crucial operation can end up consuming resources to the extent that it impacts the top priority of any medical practice.
Fortunately, there are business organizations that take up the responsibility of handling all billing-related processes so medical practices can dedicate solely to patient care.

ICD-10 compliance | Manage the intricacies of ICD-10 cataloging and maintain proper coding compliance. |
Payment processing | Securely and reliably accept payments via different modes, including online and cards. |
Patient visit documentation | Capture patient details during visits and document subsequent procedures such as diagnoses and prescribed treatment. |
