Medical Billing Companies & Consultants in Cottonwood, AZ

Precision Practice Management LLC, often shortened to PPM LLC, is a medical billing and practice administration firm based in Cottonwood, Arizona, in the Verde Valley area of Yavapai County. Since 2003 it has worked with individual providers, medical practices and hospitals, handling the business side of healthcare so clinicians can spend more time on patient care. Its work covers the full revenue process, from the first claim submitted to the final payment collected for services delivered.

Services for Practices and Hospitals

Billing is the core of the firm's work, but its services also include coding, credentialing, payer contracting and healthcare IT support. Its published service list includes:

• Outsourced medical billing and claims management
• Coding support that keeps up with current and changing code requirements
• Provider credentialing, new insurance applications and re-credentialing
• Carrier contracting, review of contract reimbursement and renegotiation of existing agreements
• Setup of new practices, including fee schedules and compliance programs
• Updates when a practice changes its demographic or tax ID details
• Setup for durable medical equipment (DME) suppliers
• Outpatient hospital billing and setup of a central business office
• Denial management and support during claims audits

How the Firm Works with Clients

PPM LLC does not require clients to change software. It can bill inside the system a practice already uses, offer its own cloud-based billing option, or help a practice choose new practice management and electronic health records software.

The firm says it has experience with platforms such as NueMD, ClinicPro, Practice Fusion, Office Ally, Amazing Charts, EZ Claims and Medi Notes. Clients get real-time access to reports, and the firm aims to improve claim accuracy, speed up payments and reduce outstanding accounts receivable.

Fees follow a sliding scale, and the team stays current through ongoing training on getting claims paid.

The firm presents outsourcing as a way to keep billing reliable. A practice that relies on one in-house biller can see billing stall when that person is out, but PPM LLC has several certified coders and billers plus support staff. That gives it room to take on more work when a client grows quickly. It says it works with every kind of provider and specialty instead of focusing on one field.
