PracticeBridge Inc. is a medical billing and revenue cycle management firm with an office on Princeton Pike in Lawrence Township (Lawrenceville), New Jersey, a short drive from Hamilton.

The firm says it was founded in 2015, and it describes itself as a combined billing, technology and transcription business.

Core Billing and Revenue Cycle Services

The firm handles the full reimbursement process, from coding a claim to collecting payment. Its published services include:

• Medical billing and claim submission to payers
• Medical coding focused on accuracy and regulatory compliance
• Help with clearinghouse enrollment and approval
• Denial management and follow-up on rejected claims
• Accounts receivable support to clear old, unpaid balances

For physician billing, the company offers full-time-equivalent staffing options and also handles billing for hospice visits. It can also support practices that use e-MDs, including outsourced patient statements for that system.

Specialty Focus and Working Model

Instead of applying one process to every client, PracticeBridge builds its revenue cycle work around each practice's specialty and assigns billers who know that specialty's rules. Its aim is to get more claims paid the first time they are submitted. Billing work is split among seven specialist teams, and the firm says support is available around the clock. It also offers free analysis and revenue audit reports to practice managers, physicians, accountable care organizations and finance executives. These reports look at how a practice is paid and how it deals with insurers.

Technology

Software is part of what PracticeBridge offers. It has built several mobile apps to automate billing and practice workflows. One of them is TheBillingBridge, a revenue analytics app that connects to the billing service and is designed to meet HIPAA requirements. Its services list also includes a Revenue Intelligence App, which is meant to speed up routine work for client practices.

Considerations for Buyers

For practices in the Hamilton and Mercer County area, PracticeBridge offers a nearby office in Lawrence Township while serving clients across the country. Buyers comparing vendors may want to weigh its specialty-based teams, its in-house credentialing and accounts receivable work, its free audits, and its own analytics tools. Together, these let a practice hand off coding, claims, payer enrollment and patient billing to a single firm. Practices that use e-MDs or are adding new providers who need payer enrollment may find this broad set of services especially useful.
