Medical Billing Companies & Consultants in Minneapolis, MN

EZMed Professionals, which also goes by EZMedPro, is a medical billing and practice administration firm based in Columbia Heights, Minnesota. It works mainly with independent medical practices that want to hand off billing, payer enrollment and related back-office work so physicians and staff can spend more time with patients. The company says its specialists are based in the United States, and it presents itself as an outsourced arm of each client's own office rather than a high-volume claims processor.

Core Services

Practices can buy the firm's services one at a time or combine them into a single managed package. The main offerings are:

• Revenue cycle management, covering claim preparation, submission, denial follow-up and pursuit of unpaid balances
• Medical billing and coding handled by coders who hold AAPC certification
• Credentialing and contracting to enroll providers and bring them into payer networks
• EHR and practice management setup for practices adopting or reconfiguring their software
• Electronic transactions to support digital exchange of claims and payer data
• Compliance resources tied to regulatory and payer requirements

A pre-submission review of each claim is part of the billing workflow and is meant to cut down on rejections and payment delays. Accounts receivable follow-up and denial work are listed as ongoing tasks, not one-time cleanup projects.

How Engagements Work

New clients start with a no-cost consultation in which EZMed reviews the practice's workflows, financial results and main problem areas, then drafts a plan built around those findings. An onboarding team then handles the technical changeover, connects to the systems the practice already uses and trains office staff on the new arrangement.

After that, the firm runs the agreed functions day to day and sends monthly reports on financial performance. Each client is paired with an account manager in the United States who acts as its regular contact.

Approach and Background

According to the company, it was started by experienced healthcare administrators and billing professionals. They felt that many providers were being overwhelmed by billing, credentialing and payer rules while getting little personal attention from large billing vendors. The firm's stated goal is to become a trusted administrative partner for independent practices across the country. It emphasizes open reporting without hidden fees, plain-language communication, and ongoing training so staff keep up with regulatory and payer changes.

For buyers comparing vendors, the firm's main selling points are certified coding staff, U.S.-based account management, and the option to bundle credentialing, software setup and revenue cycle work under one provider. Its published articles cover billing rules in several states, including Arizona, Texas and New York, which suggests it works with practices outside Minnesota as well. Prospective clients should confirm specialty experience, references and contract terms directly, because the website gives few details about the firm's history or its staff.

Silver & Gold Reimbursement Medical Billing Company LLC is a Minneapolis-based revenue cycle firm that handles claims and provider enrollment for healthcare organizations. Although its office is in Minnesota, the company works remotely and accepts clients in every U.S. state, so practices outside the Twin Cities can also use it.

The business, which also trades as Silver & Gold Reimbursement Medical Billing Office LLC, aims at practices that want to hand off billing to an outside specialist, including those shifting from self-pay patients to accepting insurance.

Background and credentials

The firm's principal biller brings roughly two decades of experience in billing and collections. That work has covered claims for durable medical equipment suppliers, hospitals, physicians and medical transportation providers.

The firm has submitted Medicaid claims in many states and is familiar with Medicare, Tricare, Blue Cross Blue Shield, workers' compensation, motor vehicle accident and third-party liability payers, using both electronic and paper submission.

The listed credentials include Certified Professional Biller (CPB), Certified Medical Revenue Manager, and HIPAA, OSHA and compliance certifications, plus training in ICD-9 and ICD-10, HCPCS and CPT coding.

The principal also holds an associate degree in medical office administration and a diploma in medical billing and coding, is an AAPC member, and has worked as an enrollment specialist, an appeals and reconsideration specialist, and in third-party reimbursement and records retrieval.

Services

The firm covers the full billing cycle, from the patient's first contact to final collection:

• Payer credentialing and provider enrollment with insurers nationwide
• Checking patient coverage and benefits
• Demographic entry, charge capture and charge validation
• Coding review and electronic or paper claim transmission
• Payment posting and accounts receivable follow-up
• Denial and rejection management, including appeals
• Credit balance projects, cleanup work and other special projects
• Patient statements and collections
• Motor vehicle accident, workers' compensation and third-party liability claims

How the firm works with clients

The company describes itself as a go-between for providers, patients and insurers. Its income depends on the money it actually recovers for clients. Practices send their daily superbills by scan or email for posting. Denials and rejections are worked as soon as they come in, so claims don't miss timely filing limits.

The firm will also take on older claims from before the contract began. It can help update practice forms and train front desk staff to collect accurate patient information. For patient balances, it mails statements and can phone patients after three invoices to try to settle accounts before they go to collections.

It says letters and statements are processed electronically and mailed on a twelve-hour cycle. The firm estimates that credentialing usually takes three to six months, depending on the payer. Its work regularly involves attorneys, social workers and medical facilities as well as insurers and patients.

Buyers comparing vendors should know this is a small, owner-led operation. That suits practices that want one dedicated contact for credentialing and billing rather than a large outsourcing center. Prospective clients can request a free consultation. The intake form asks how many practitioners the office has and how many claims it submits each month.
