PMP Frequently asked questions
What makes accurate medical billing so important for behavioral health specialists?
What does a medical billing account manager do for me?
How does the billing process work?
What are the benefits of outsourcing my medical billing?
- It increases the time a behavioral health professional can spend on the things they enjoy doing! Outsourcing your medical billing frees up your resources for healing your clients and for creating programming materials. Let our medical billing professionals spend time on the phone with insurance carriers, figuring out denied claims, and creating monthly statements.
- It decreases funds towards human resourcing activities (e.g., hiring an administrative staff member, payroll taxes, etc.).
- It can improve overall cash flow for your business. Have a skilled billing professional overseeing your claims and service fee payments could ensure more expeditious payment from third-party payors and clients alike.
- It could decrease overall costs for office space to house an administrative staff person for billing.
- It affords clinicians to be free of having to enter into the role of “bill collector” with their patients.
