Medical Billing Companies & Consultants in Crown Point, IN

Overview

Comprehensive Billing & Training Services, LLC, often shortened to CBTS, is a medical billing company based in Crown Point, Indiana, in the Northwest Indiana region near Gary. It takes on the billing work of physician practices that would rather hand off claims and receivables than run that function in-house. Besides billing for outside clients, the company also teaches medical billing, which is why training is part of its name.

Background and Team

The company says it has been operating since 1998, so it has more than two decades of history in the billing field. Rather than describing itself as one large in-house staff, CBTS presents itself as a network of billing and practice management specialists. Taken together, its members report over 70 years of hands-on billing experience. For a practice comparing vendors, that means the people handling its accounts have worked through many years of changes in payer rules and claim processing.

What They Do for Practices

CBTS handles the whole billing cycle for the practices it serves, not just one narrow task. Based on the company's own description, its work centers on a few outcomes that matter to physicians:

• Getting more of what is billed actually collected
• Cutting the number of claims that payers reject
• Bringing accounts receivable into better overall shape
• Billing management shaped around each practice's specific requirements

The company's site also has sections explaining why practices outsource billing, describing its billing services in detail, and sharing feedback from clients. Buyers can use these to judge how well its approach fits their own office.

How They Work With Clients

CBTS stresses individual attention for each practice, and it wants its pricing to stay reasonable. It positions itself as an extension of a physician's office whose service adapts to the needs of each client. That makes it best suited to independent practices that want a dedicated billing partner rather than a standardized, high-volume service.

Training and What Sets Them Apart

Unlike many billing vendors, CBTS also runs medical billing classes, so the company both does billing and teaches it. That training side may appeal to people starting out in healthcare administration, and to practices that want their front-office staff to understand billing well enough to work smoothly with an outside service.

Its long history, its experienced network of billing professionals, its focus on measurable collection results, and its classes set CBTS apart among Medical Billing companies serving Gary and the surrounding Lake County area.
