Why practices choose us

Where we are different.

We are paid only on paid claims.

If a claim is not collected, we are not paid for it. No retainers, no setup fees, and no per-claim charges. It keeps our incentives aligned with yours: collect what your practice is owed.

We know your payers.

Medi-Cal managed care plans, IEHP, Health Net, Blue Shield Promise, LA Care, Anthem, Kaiser commercial, and Medicare are part of our daily work, not a learning curve.

You will always reach a person.

Not a ticket queue and not an automated line. You will know your account manager by name, and the owner is available when you need them.

Getting started

A clear transition, with no disruption to your front desk.

  1. 1

    No-cost A/R review

    Send us your recent remits and current aging report. We will review them and return a written summary of what we see and what we would recommend, at no cost.

  2. 2

    Credentialing & setup

    We confirm your credentialing is current with each payer and handle the clearinghouse and system setup behind the scenes.

  3. 3

    Live billing by week three

    Charges flow from your EMR into our process while we work your existing aging A/R in parallel. Nothing is written off to start clean.

  4. 4

    Ongoing review

    Regular reviews of your numbers, the denials we have worked, and what we recommend next, with the owner involved.

Common questions

Questions we hear often.

Pricing depends on your specialty, payer mix, and volume, so we quote each practice individually rather than post a single number. What we will commit to in writing: we are paid only on claims that are paid. No retainers, no setup fees, and no per-claim charges. Tell us about your practice and we will provide a clear quote.
You send us your recent remits and your current aging report. A biller reviews them and returns a written summary: what appears recoverable, where revenue is leaking, the denial patterns we see, and what we would do differently. There is no sales pitch in that document, and the review is yours to keep whether or not you work with us.
About four weeks for a clean transition, including credentialing verification, clearinghouse handoff, and EMR or practice-management integration. We do not pause your billing to start over, and your existing A/R is worked in parallel. Your front desk does not change how it operates.
In most cases, yes. We work alongside Epic, Cerner, athenahealth, Allscripts, Kareo, Practice Fusion, eClinicalWorks, NextGen, AdvancedMD, and DrChrono, among others. If you use a system we have not mentioned, let us know and we will confirm.
Yes. We operate under a signed Business Associate Agreement, with encrypted data, United States-based access, and an audit trail on protected health information. We are glad to review our security practices with you on an introductory call.
We work the payers your practice sees every day, including Medi-Cal managed care plans, IEHP, LA Care, Health Net, and the major commercial carriers. Knowing how each one handles claims and denials means fewer surprises and faster resolution on the work that matters to your revenue.
