Medical Billing Companies & Consultants in Thiensville, WI

Lakefront Billing Service, Inc. is a medical billing company based in Mequon, Wisconsin, that takes over the billing and receivables side of running a healthcare practice. The firm built its identity around one type of client: the independent provider. Its message to physicians, therapists and other clinicians who own their practices is that solid revenue management makes it possible to keep that independence rather than giving it up because of financial strain.

Background and experience

The company reports more than four decades in medical billing. Over that time it has worked with practices across the medical community, with the goal of helping them grow into operations that are both profitable and sustainable over the long term.

Lakefront describes its team as seasoned billing professionals who know each stage of the claims cycle well and who keep up with the regulatory rules that govern healthcare reimbursement. The firm says it uses that expertise to raise collections and keep money coming in steadily.

It also stresses careful, detail-oriented work and a broad view of how a practice's finances can be improved.

Services offered

Lakefront offers end-to-end revenue support, not just claim submission. Its published services include:

• Billing and patient collections, along with complete management of accounts receivable
• Tracking each claim from submission to resolution, including follow-up on problem claims
• Reporting and data analysis tailored to the needs of each practice
• Provider credentialing, plus ongoing maintenance of those credentials
• Verification of patient insurance eligibility and handling of preauthorizations

Because the firm combines credentialing, front-end eligibility checks and back-end receivables follow-up, a practice can hand most of its revenue cycle to a single outside partner instead of piecing it together from several vendors.

Specialties served

The company works with a wide range of clinical fields. It calls the following a partial list of the specialties it supports:

• Anesthesiology, Pain Medicine and Surgery
• Behavioral Health
• Cardiology, Pulmonology and Neurology
• Family Medicine, Internal Medicine and Pediatrics
• Gastroenterology and Urology
• OB/Gynecology
• Orthopedic Surgery and Physical Therapy

This range covers both procedure-heavy specialties and primary care and therapy practices, each with its own coding and payer requirements.

Working with Lakefront

Lakefront presents its value in practical terms: fewer administrative frustrations, more predictable cash flow and less stress for the practice's own staff. By taking on billing, collections and payer follow-up, the firm aims to let clinicians and office teams spend their time on patient care.

It promises responsive, professional service from experienced staff, and its custom reporting gives practice owners a clear view of their financial performance. For independent practices in Wisconsin that want a long-established billing partner with experience across many specialties, Lakefront offers a full-service option with credentialing and eligibility work included.
