Overview

Physicians Billing Service is a medical billing and collections firm based in Burke, Virginia, in Northern Virginia. It has been in business since 1989 and describes itself as locally owned. Physicians and medical practices hand their billing work to the company so that their own staff can spend more time on patient care and less on insurance paperwork.

The firm says it works with practitioners across the country. Its public profiles say it supports more than 250 medical practices, mostly in the Northeast and Southeast.

What the Company Does

The company's main business is turning the services a practice provides into insurance payments. It takes over electronic claim preparation and submission, which spares doctors the technical work and frequent rejections that come with filing claims themselves. Beyond sending claims, it manages billing and collections across the whole revenue cycle. The aim is to make a practice's revenue cycle more efficient while keeping service and support for patients in place. Its core services include:

• Outsourced medical billing for physicians and group practices
• Electronic insurance claims submission and management
• Collections and accounts receivable follow-up with payers
• Patient demographic and charge entry
• Electronic and manual payment posting
• Appeals of denied or underpaid claims
• Revenue cycle management support

It handles a client's billing work from start to finish, from entering patient and charge information through posting payments and pursuing open balances with insurers. The firm says it hires only experienced billing agents and that all of its operations are in the United States.

Practices that want domestic staff to handle their claims and their patients' billing questions may find this relevant. Patients of client practices can view and manage their accounts through an online portal.

They also mention a billing excellence program aimed at better results for client practices. The firm has trained clients on ICD-10 coding.
