Medical Billing Companies & Consultants in Dumont, NJ

ARC Medical Billing is the trade name of Associates in Reimbursement and Consulting, LLC, a billing firm based in Dumont in Bergen County, New Jersey. It works with physicians, medical practices and other health care organizations that want outside help with the administrative and financial side of patient care. Its stated aim is to shorten the time between delivering a service and getting paid for it.

The company describes its offering as full revenue cycle management across multiple medical specialties. ARC does not sell one fixed package. It adapts its work to each practice based on the client's size, setup and specific problems. It takes on practices of varied size and location, and it presents its work as a way to strengthen cash flow and improve a practice's financial results.

Services

• End-to-end medical billing and claims processing
• Revenue cycle management for multi-specialty practices
• Billing and practice consulting
• Provider credentialing
• Insurance certifications and prior authorizations
• Coding guidance tied to reimbursement requirements
• Appeals of denied claims
• Training for client front-desk and billing staff

Consulting is a separate part of the business. In a one-on-one engagement, ARC studies what a practice needs, finds the source of its billing problems and proposes fixes quickly. Practices that keep their own billing team in house can use this service, and so can those that need help with a single defined issue. Buyers therefore do not have to outsource their whole billing operation to work with the firm.

Background and team

President Deborah Yanette leads the firm and has more than 25 years of medical billing experience. She started at a practice front desk and has since handled every non-clinical function of a medical office, billing for many specialties and facility types. She tracks coding changes through billing associations, both online and at seminars. She then shares what she learns with ARC staff and, where relevant, with client offices. She also uses her front-office background to coach client staff on the steps that lead to timely payment. The company reports that she has overseen billing operations bringing in upward of $25 million annually.

Dawn Yanette is the CFO and has been with the company for about ten years. She previously worked as a surgical coordinator. That role gave her hands-on knowledge of the coding accuracy surgical claims require and of the certification and authorization steps insurers expect, including showing medical necessity. Appeals are her particular area of expertise.

What sets ARC apart

Buyers comparing billing vendors may note several things about ARC. It works with each client individually. Its leaders have long hands-on experience in practice operations. It also offers billing, credentialing, authorization and consulting services from one provider. The firm states that it holds certification with the New Jersey banking and insurance regulator. Its office in Dumont is its base for serving practices in northern New Jersey.
