Medical Billing Companies & Consultants in Hicksville, NY

Altair Medical Billing, which goes by AMB, is a revenue cycle management firm with its main office in Hicksville, New York, and staff in the Dallas-Fort Worth region, where it also has an address in Prosper, Texas. The firm has more than ten years of experience and works with medical practices across the country. The company presents itself as a specialist in recovering payment on denied claims.

Payer Expertise

AMB stands out for its depth in workers compensation and no-fault billing, payer categories that come with their own forms and dispute procedures. For workers comp it handles carrier submissions, HP-10 paperwork, lien preparation, negotiation support and settlement tracking. On the no-fault side it works through PIP claims for auto accident injuries, NF-10 documentation and mandatory arbitration. The company also bills commercial insurers, Medicare and Medicaid, and says it has worked across dozens of specialties.

How They Work With Clients

New relationships start with a free assessment call. AMB reviews the practice's current billing process and points out where money is being lost, with no obligation to sign. If the practice moves forward, onboarding covers EMR/EHR integration, credentialing and assigning a billing team, which the firm says takes only a few days. From then on, AMB manages daily submissions, follow-up, appeals and collections. Each client gets its own dedicated billing staff instead of a shared support queue. Larger, high-volume accounts also get a senior liaison as their single point of contact. Clients meet with AMB weekly to go over results, and the firm shares reports and findings as work happens rather than waiting for month-end summaries.

What Sets Them Apart

AMB offers a guaranteed 45-day revenue cycle and supports it with claim-by-claim tracking and complete logs that clients can see in real time. Every claim is checked against FAIR Health's national claims data and usual, customary and reasonable benchmarks. That review gives the firm evidence to challenge payments that come in below expected rates. According to the company, its first-look assessments often turn up unbilled services, denials that could have been prevented, underpaid claims and revenue lost on workers comp and no-fault cases.

AMB is likely to suit practices that see a large share of workers comp and auto accident patients, practices dealing with ongoing denials or underpayments, and groups that want regular, direct contact with a dedicated billing team.
