Medical Billing Companies & Consultants in Southampton, PA

Pennsylvania Medical Billing, Inc., often called PAMD, is an outsourced billing firm in Southampton, Pennsylvania, in Bucks County. It handles the revenue side of healthcare practices so that doctors and their staff can spend more time with patients. The company started in 1997 and is led by its founder and president, Rosa L. Rossello. She has more than 25 years of experience with medical billing, insurance rules and regulations, collections and Medicare appeals.

Who PAMD Serves

The firm works with many kinds of providers. Clients include solo physicians and multi-physician groups, physical therapists, psychotherapists, chiropractors and other healthcare professionals. One client is a durable medical equipment supplier in Montgomery County. PAMD's service area covers Bucks, Montgomery, Philadelphia, Delaware and Chester counties in southeastern Pennsylvania, plus New Jersey and Delaware. That puts practices in the Trenton area within its reach.

Services Offered

PAMD can take over the whole billing cycle or just one part of it. It also offers consulting and back billing on unpaid accounts. Its main services are:

• Entering claim data and submitting claims
• Personal injury claims billing
• Managing accounts receivable and following up on unpaid claims
• Medical coding
• Monthly reporting packages for practice owners
• Quality reporting, including MIPS
• Reviewing outstanding receivables and catching up on back billing

How the Firm Works With Clients

PAMD does not make every client use the same system. It builds each program around the practice and works with the office's current forms and routines, so the switch causes less disruption. The firm says a new practice can be sending HIPAA-compliant electronic claims within two to three weeks. Claims go out electronically in the ANSI 5010.A1 format. PAMD expects Medicare and Blue Shield to pay in about 14 to 21 days and commercial insurers in under 30 days. The team prepares the claims, deals with the insurance companies and handles all follow-up, so the practice's front-office staff doesn't have to.

The firm has used several practice management systems, including Medisoft, EZ Claim, Office Ally, NextGen, Kareo and ChiroTouch. This can matter to buyers who don't want to change software when they outsource billing.

What Sets PAMD Apart

All claims are processed and submitted within the United States, which matters to buyers who want domestic handling of patient data. The firm is small and run by its founder. The president is directly involved and has promised to deal personally with any client question about the firm's procedures. Clients have described PAMD as a partner in their billing rather than just a vendor. For regional practices that want custom setups, a quick start and an experienced Medicare appeals specialist, PAMD is a long-established local option.
