Medical Billing Companies & Consultants in North Andover, MA

Bradford Medical Associates Inc. is a North Andover, Massachusetts firm that handles insurance billing and revenue follow-up for physician offices. The company works with practices across Massachusetts and also takes on clients in New Hampshire, serving both small offices and larger group practices. Its focus is on helping providers collect what they are owed for care delivered while giving them clearer insight into the financial side of running a practice.

Background and Leadership

The business was co-founded by Judy Coleman and John Depew. Coleman holds an MBA from Lowell University and brings more than two and a half decades in billing and practice administration. She has also written articles for MD News on reimbursement and office operations, and several of them are available on the company website. Depew draws on roughly twenty years in technology sales and support, which shapes the firm's systems-oriented view of how a medical office should run. The founders have spent over 25 years helping practices in many specialties automate their workflows.

How the Firm Works With Clients

Bradford charges a percentage of the revenue it actually collects for a practice. This ties its earnings directly to the provider's income. The company never takes custody of reimbursement funds, so payments keep going straight to the practice and the physician stays in charge of the money. Claims are submitted electronically, and the firm says it sends them out within two days of receiving them to shorten the gap between a patient visit and payment. Staff spend their days contacting payers about outstanding balances, and every unpaid claim is tracked so clients can see where each one stands. Team members are cross-trained so work continues smoothly, and the firm keeps the same hours as its client offices.

Services Offered

• Electronic insurance claim submission
• Ongoing follow-up on unpaid claims
• Claim status tracking
• Coding and reimbursement support from trained specialists
• Financial reporting and practice performance analysis
• Practice management guidance and office automation
• A free practice analysis for prospective clients

Its reports give physicians a short, accurate picture of the whole practice. This makes it easier to watch income and reimbursement trends over time without digging through raw billing data.

Specialties Served

The company supports a wide range of clinical fields in both states. These include cardiology, chiropractic, family medicine, internal medicine, mental health, neurology, physical therapy, plastic surgery, podiatry, psychiatry and radiology, along with other physician specialties.

For buyers comparing billing partners, Bradford Medical Associates offers long experience, founders who are still directly involved, fees based on what it collects, and a policy of never holding client funds. Practices in Massachusetts and New Hampshire that want a regional partner covering many specialties may find it a good fit.
