Medical Billing Companies & Consultants in Dewey, AZ

Skyline Medical Billing Management is a small outsourced billing agency in the Prescott area of Arizona. It works with medical practices that want to hand off insurance billing and the paperwork that goes with it. Its pitch is simple: when an outside team handles claims, payments and patient account questions, providers and front-office staff have more time for patient care.

Background and Team

Jennifer Moran founded the firm after she saw that local practices needed billing that was both accurate and efficient. She still guides the company's approach to claim outcomes. A team of experienced claims associates handles the daily work. The agency describes itself as HIPAA-compliant and draws on years of experience collecting from insurers.

Its website says claims are usually processed within 48 to 72 hours. The firm also uses a performance-based model: it is paid only when its clients are paid.

Services Offered

The core offering covers the full cycle of insurance claims, from submission through reporting:

• Filing claims with all payers, electronically, on paper or both
• Following up on every submitted claim
• Posting payments
• Reviewing modifier usage to protect reimbursement
• Mailing statements to patients
• Answering patients' billing questions on the practice's behalf
• Producing detailed financial management reports

Beyond claims work, the company offers medical practice management. It aims this at organizations that lack the in-house expertise, dedicated software or staff time to run the revenue cycle well. The firm says the benefits include steadier cash flow, more consistent revenue, better reporting and less provider credentialing work for the practice.

How It Works With Clients

Skyline does not use a single fixed process. It starts by consulting with each practice's staff to decide how documents should move between the two offices, then fits its workflow to the client. Because it handles patient billing calls, practices can expect fewer phone calls and less time spent on hold with insurers.

The firm also points out that outsourcing removes the cost of hiring, training and recertifying billing employees, along with the payroll taxes and workers' compensation that come with them.

The agency can log in to a client's existing system remotely to retrieve and submit claims and to post payments. This means it can serve practices outside its home region. Practices can also choose to work in DAQbilling, the medical billing and practice management platform Skyline uses.

DAQbilling is delivered as a hosted application, so it can be reached from any computer at any time. Its features include electronic submission of all claims, secondary claim filing, customizable superbills, a built-in real-time scheduler, a Health-Check financial overview and management reporting.

For buyers comparing vendors, Skyline is a good fit for independent practices that want a local, owner-led billing partner. It offers hands-on claims follow-up, flexible ways to connect to existing systems and an optional hosted software platform.
