Medical Billing Companies & Consultants in Bountiful, UT

Overview

Alta Management Solutions, LLC, often shortened to AMS, is a healthcare practice management firm based in Bountiful, Utah. It takes on business functions for physician offices and dental practices, and billing is the core of that work. The company's website says its team has more than 35 years of combined experience in the field and has helped over 100 practices solve operational and financial problems. The firm says its clients are spread across the western United States.

Services

AMS groups its work into four management service areas, with consulting and marketing support on top. For buyers comparing billing vendors, this means the firm handles much more than claims submission. That may suit practices that want one partner for most of their administrative tasks.

• Medical billing: managing claims, payments and receivables so in-house staff can focus on patients
• Accounting for healthcare practices
• Insurance paneling and credentialing with payers
• Practice startup services for new clinics
• Marketing support
• Consulting on practice operations and workflow

New clients can start with a free assessment, so a practice can have its current setup reviewed before signing on.

Specialties served

AMS does not focus on one niche. It reports current work in a wide range of clinical fields, which suggests experience with many different coding and payer rules:

• Family medicine and pediatrics
• Neonatology
• General and plastic surgery
• Orthopedics and podiatry
• Otolaryngology (ENT)
• Ophthalmology and urology
• Anesthesiology and radiology
• Behavioral and mental health

How they work with clients

The firm combines industry knowledge with modern technology, and its work reaches past the back office. Its Director of Operations, Danielle, uses her background in clinic management and billing to review each practice's workflow and find ways to raise revenue. A large part of her role is training reception teams on site so they use the billing system well.

She also works with the billing staff and physicians to keep departments running smoothly together. In a testimonial on the site, podiatrist Spencer Heninger, DPM, says the arrangement let his staff focus on patients and took billing stress out of the office.

Background and leadership

AMS was co-founded by Jane A. Glazier, its Vice President, who has worked for more than two decades in billing, in advising medical practices and in managing contracts. Founder and President Brandon Jones has led the company since 2005, according to his professional profile.

Third-party business data lists Alta Management Solutions as part of Cosentus, a revenue cycle company, while the firm still operates under its own name from its Bountiful office. Utah practices looking for a local billing partner that can also help with credentialing, bookkeeping and opening a new clinic will find a broad range of support at AMS.
