Medical Billing Companies & Consultants in Helena, MT

Source Medical Billing is a Helena, Montana firm that handles the business side of medical practices. It works with independent physicians, physician groups and hospital departments. A certified public accountant founded the company and still owns it, so it treats billing as part of a practice's overall finances rather than only as claim submission.

The main goal it describes is helping providers reconcile what they bill with what they actually collect, so that less of their earned revenue is lost along the way.

Services

The firm says good revenue management depends on three things done together: accurate billing, orderly bookkeeping and regular audits. Its stated services include:

• Medical billing for independent and group practices
• Advice on coding changes that can improve reimbursement
• Provider credentialing
• Accounting for medical practices
• Auditing of billing and financial records
• Financial reconciliation and cash-flow review
• Planning and strategy for a practice's future

Source does not appear to sell or resell software or other products. Clients get services and advice. The company describes itself as able to supply the full set of financial, credentialing and billing support a practice needs to run.

How It Works With Clients

Source says it pays close attention to small details. Its view is that a minor billing error can turn into a large loss of revenue over time. Staff check each part of a client's revenue process so that problems are found and fixed.

The firm also explains to providers where their money goes and points out coding changes they can make, so physicians understand their own billing better. The firm doesn't want clients guessing about their cash flow. It wants them to have clear information for planning. New clients can start with a free consultation directly with the company's owner.

The company also emphasizes quality of life. It presents its work as a way to lower the stress that confusing billing causes clinicians. The aim is to keep their households financially secure and give them more time away from work. This suits small practices that have no in-house finance staff and want one partner for billing, books and planning.

Background and Team

Leanne McMahon, CPA, founded Source Medical Billing and serves as its President and Owner. Before starting the firm, she provided professional financial services to several physicians and clinics. The website also lists Paige Evans as Manager and Billing Specialist. The site has a 2017 copyright date, and the company is based in Helena.

For practices comparing billing vendors, the firm's main difference is that a CPA leads it. Billing, accounting and auditing come from one team, which gives providers a single place to go for revenue questions and longer-term financial planning, beyond claims processing alone.
