Medical Billing Companies & Consultants in Cedar Falls, IA

Bielser Billing Services is a small, family-run medical billing company based in Cedar Falls, Iowa, close to Waterloo. It handles billing for medical offices across the United States, not only in Iowa. Its niche is alternative medicine. Most of its clients are chiropractors, acupuncturists, naturopathic physicians and massage therapists. The firm says this part of healthcare is used heavily through insurance benefits but has few billing specialists serving it.

Who They Serve

The company works with private practices at every stage. That includes providers opening their first clinic and long-established practitioners who want to tighten up their revenue process. Because it focuses on a few specialties, it is a good fit for clinics whose billing rules and payer requirements differ from those of conventional medical offices.

• Chiropractic clinics
• Acupuncture practices
• Naturopathic physicians
• Massage therapy providers

Services and Approach

Bielser Billing focuses on getting claims right on the first submission. The goal is fewer rejections and faster payment from insurers. The team handles claims for managed care plans, commercial carriers and private insurers. It also processes motor vehicle accident and workers' compensation claims, which matter to many chiropractic and therapy practices. The firm stresses coding accuracy and keeps up with changes to CPT and ICD-10 through regular continuing education. This helps keep client billing compliant as payer rules change.

The firm does not offer a one-size-fits-all package. It adjusts its work to each client's needs so that providers and their staff can spend their time on patient care instead of administration. It works directly with providers, front-office staff and insurance companies to keep claims moving. When problems come up, the team looks for the cause and works with the practice on a fix that supports the office's financial goals.

Background and Team

Marianne and Nick Bielser, who have been married since 2009, own and run the business. They have operated it since 2015. Marianne is a Certified Professional Coder (CPC) and serves as billing manager, also overseeing finance and insurance matters. Nick works as a medical biller and handles marketing, social media and outreach to clients. Both have held management and billing roles at small and large practices, which gives them a working knowledge of how clinics operate day to day.

What Sets Them Apart

Buyers comparing medical billing vendors should know three things about this firm. It specializes in alternative and complementary care, its owners do the billing work themselves, and its lead biller holds a coding credential. The company describes its values as integrity and honesty. Its office hours are Monday through Friday during standard business hours, and it is closed on weekends. Practices that want a small, specialized partner instead of a large billing operation may find it worth a look.
