Medical Billing Companies & Consultants in Flint, MI

Mid Michigan Medical Billing Service, Inc., often shortened to MMMBS, is a revenue cycle management firm based in Flint, Michigan. It works with medical practices and clinics of varying sizes. Its role is to take over the administrative side of getting paid so that physicians and their staff can spend more time with patients. Beyond claims processing, the company also handles medical transcription, records management and consulting work.

Background and Approach

The company says it has spent close to two decades in medical billing. Over that time it has built working relationships with third-party payers and with both small and large clinics. It describes itself as a mid-sized partner: large enough to support a full revenue cycle, but small enough that clients deal with people who know their account.

Each new engagement follows three stages. First comes a consultation, then a solution tailored to the practice, and finally ongoing delivery of the service.

Flat-Rate Billing Service

MMMBS offers its core billing on a flat-rate basis, and several supporting tasks are bundled in at no added charge. Buyers comparing vendors may find the scope of the package useful:

• Setup of billing and practice management software, including the database and practice configuration
• Provider credentialing, with a credentialing specialist assigned during implementation
• Real-time insurance eligibility checks covering co-pays and deductibles, available from any internet-connected computer
• Coding and billing work across the full claim workflow
• Review and updating of fee schedules
• Monthly financial reports, plus updates on industry changes and regulatory compliance

Coding is done by coders certified through the American Academy of Professional Coders. Charge entry is completed within 48 hours of receiving a practice's billing. Claims are processed in AllScripts billing software. The company reports that it averages a 97.8 percent reimbursement rate on insurance claims it submits.

A Three-Person Client Team

Each client is assigned three dedicated contacts who share responsibility for the account. The billing and coding specialist handles ICD-10, CPT and HCPCS coding. This person also checks clinical documentation to confirm charges are captured correctly and flags documentation gaps or signs of over- or undercoding. The reimbursement specialist posts payments and reconciles batch remittances.

This specialist also tracks aging reports for primary, secondary and tertiary claims, contacts payers to resolve disputes, and prepares appeals when needed. The account manager is the client's main point of contact. This role oversees quality across the revenue cycle, explains coding and compliance rules, and manages patient statements and collections.

Why Practices Consider MMMBS

For practices in Lansing and elsewhere in Michigan, the firm stands out for a few reasons. Its predictable flat-rate model already includes credentialing and eligibility verification. It uses certified coders. It also assigns a named team to each account rather than routing work through a general pool. Because it also offers records management and transcription, practices that want several back-office functions handled by one outside partner may find it a practical choice.
