Medical Billing Companies & Consultants in Baldwin, NY

Assured Healthcare Billing Solutions LLC is a billing and practice management company based in Baldwin, on the South Shore of Long Island's Nassau County. It handles both insurance billing and patient billing for medical and dental offices. It focuses on solo providers and small group practices, not large hospital systems. That makes it a fit for independent clinicians who want to hand off claims work without losing personal contact with the people doing it.

Approach to Client Relationships

The firm says it limits how many clients it takes on so that each practice gets close, dedicated attention. Practices that sign up for billing also get advanced practice management software at no extra cost. Sending work in is simple. The firm suggests practices submit new charges every day or every week. To create claims it needs a new patient intake form, a copy of the insurance or workers' compensation card (front and back), any written prescription, and the patient's first superbill. Practices can report patient payments that arrive by mail by sending a copy of the check along with the returned statement.

Billing and Revenue Cycle Services

The firm offers a complete billing service that covers the whole claim cycle:

• Submitting primary, secondary and tertiary insurance claims
• Following up with primary and secondary payers
• Posting payments to insurance and patient accounts
• Tracking unpaid claims and sending letters of medical necessity when needed
• Alerting the practice when a claim is incomplete or a carrier asks for more information
• Creating patient statements and following up on patient balances
• Monthly and annual financial reviews along with a review of medical codes
• Workers' compensation, rehab and durable medical equipment claims with attachments
• Detailed reports with charts

Patients are billed twice a month once their insurer has paid, if the practice has signed up for that service, and payment plans are available. For unpaid patient balances, the firm sends a limited number of statements and makes follow-up calls.

Additional Solutions

Beyond core billing, the firm also offers collections, electronic funds transfer setup, well-care programs, transcription, document management, secure remote data backup and CodeMAXX services. Its software options cover medical, dental and electronic medical records platforms. It also offers patient assessment tools, custom wellness programs and MD Audit Shield, a product aimed at Recovery Audit Contractor (RAC) reviews. Its credentialing service covers commercial health plans, Medicare, hospital and facility privileges, and other applications that need provider credentialing data.

Background and What Sets It Apart

The company's social media page says its founders have a combined 34 years in business and insurance and moved into healthcare billing from that background. To help practices weigh outsourcing, the website has an online calculator that compares paper and electronic claim rejection rates. The firm also offers a free review of CPT codes and billing costs that points out possible lost revenue. With one local office, a deliberately small client list and free software for billing clients, it suits small medical and dental practices that want a hands-on partner close to Freeport.
