Medical Billing Companies & Consultants in Post Falls, ID

Overview

HighPoint Medical Inc. is a medical practice management firm based in Post Falls, Idaho. It serves healthcare organizations across the United States, including physician practices, outpatient clinics and hospitals. The company handles the administrative and financial side of a practice so that providers can spend their time on patient care. Billing and collections are the center of its offering. It also covers electronic records, information technology and hosting, so buyers can consolidate several back-office functions with one vendor.

Billing and Revenue Services

For organizations evaluating outsourced billing, HighPoint combines revenue cycle work with operational support. Its published service roster includes:

• Revenue cycle management
• Medical billing and collections
• Accounts receivable management
• Provider credentialing
• Month-end financial reporting
• Back-office systems support
• EMR and EHR implementation
• Server hosting and IT support
• Data backup
• Security and software support

The company favors electronic claim submission over paper filing. It cites national figures indicating that paper claims are paid at a noticeably lower rate. It says that moving submissions to electronic channels can raise the share of collectable claims that are ultimately paid. Beyond claim processing, the firm works to improve reimbursement from insurance carriers and to take tedious detail work off the plates of practice staff. Its practice management specialists also advise clients on profitability and longer-term efficiency.

Technology and IT Support

HighPoint helps practices move from paper charts to an electronic records environment, guiding clients through the transition in stages rather than all at once. Its in-house IT department trains client staff and provides ongoing technical help, including a remote support option.

The hosting division protects client data with three layers of redundancy and backup, which is intended to keep practices running if a system fails. For buyers, this means billing, records and infrastructure can all be managed under a single relationship.

How They Work With Clients

A defining feature of the HighPoint model is account ownership. Each practice is paired with a designated advocate who learns that account, works on it directly and is accountable for its results. The company frames its relationship with providers as shared success, tying its own performance to how well each client does.

It encourages close collaboration between its staff and the practice's own team. The firm also commits to keeping clients informed about regulatory and policy changes in healthcare as they emerge. A testimonial from an ENT practice describes the staff as helpful collaborators who act as advisers and sounding boards, not simply as a billing vendor.

Team and Background

HighPoint is led by President Skip Meyer. According to the company, much of its leadership has collaborated in the practice management field for close to a decade, and its staff collectively bring more than 130 years of healthcare experience. On-site professionals include coders and IT staff who hold certifications, bookkeepers, account representatives, client relations staff and a certified public accountant.

This gives clients access to coding, technical and accounting expertise within one firm. Buyers in Idaho and elsewhere who want a billing partner that also handles records, hosting and IT may find this combined model worth considering.
