Medical Billing Companies & Consultants in Albany, NY

Medical Business Services is a firm in Albany, New York, that runs the financial and administrative side of medical offices. It describes itself as a regional consultancy. It works with solo doctors and with multi-provider groups of any size. The firm aims to act as a business partner so that clinicians can spend their time treating patients. It offers billing, collections and wider practice management together.

Background and credentials

The firm's principals report more than 45 years of combined experience across healthcare and business administration. They hold bachelor's degrees in management and in accounting. That background explains why the firm puts weight on financial reporting and receivables analysis, not just on sending out claims. The team also commits to ongoing professional education. It points out that payer rules, regulations and managed care keep changing, so billing managers have to keep learning.

Billing and practice management services

The firm handles both the revenue cycle and the management reporting that goes with it. Its published service areas include:

• Electronic claim submission, aimed at accurate, on-time billing and fewer rejections
• Audit and analysis of accounts receivable
• Ongoing collection follow-up
• Workers' compensation and no-fault claims
• Accounts payable support
• Confidential monthly management reports
• Chart review and chart auditing
• Coding advice and alerts about coding updates
• General practice management consulting

The coding guidance helps providers use procedure and diagnosis codes correctly. The goal is to get full reimbursement and avoid claims being held up. The firm presents electronic submission as a way to get paid faster and see fewer denials.

How the firm works with clients

Practices can sign up for a continuing business management program or for periodic visits, depending on their needs. To collect billing information, the company picks up superbills and supporting paperwork on a schedule or receives them by fax. Staff training is part of the service. The firm shares what it learns about new regulations and coding updates with the client's own employees. It also helps office staff see why billing and collections matter so much to the practice's finances. The firm says clients can expect quick turnaround, less paperwork, more productive staff and better cash flow.

What sets it apart
