Medical Billing Companies & Consultants in Weirton, WV

Medical Billing Services is a Weirton, West Virginia company that handles billing and back-office administration for physician practices. Some directories list it as Medical Billing & Management Services (MBMS). It began operating in 1993 and has spent more than three decades working with doctors in the Upper Ohio Valley and beyond.

Its office is in the BranZakChris building on Pennsylvania Avenue in Weirton. Business directories describe it as a business management and medical practice consultancy as well as a billing service.

Services for medical practices

The firm's central task is managing claims from the moment they are submitted until payment arrives. It bills all insurance carriers and follows up on claims that remain unpaid. Claims travel to payers electronically, and the firm also prints and mails patient statements, which spares a practice from doing that work in-house. The full range of services includes:

• Billing for all insurance carriers, with claim follow-up
• Electronic claim submission to carriers
• Patient statement printing and mailing
• Monthly summary and productivity reports
• Secure online access to the firm's billing database
• Medical transcription
• Chart auditing
• Practice consultation

How it works with clients

Clients receive regular reporting on their accounts. Every month they get a summary of activity along with productivity figures, which gives practice owners a way to track revenue and staff output over time. Between those reports, a secure online link to the firm's database lets clients look up account details whenever they need them.

Because the company also provides transcription and chart auditing, a practice can place documentation and compliance review with the same team that handles its claims, rather than coordinating several vendors. Listings name Allscripts ProPM as the practice management platform it works with, and directory entries show weekday business hours.

Specialties served

The firm bills for a wide mix of medical practices. Its listed areas of experience include plastic surgery, cardiology, psychology, internal medicine, dermatology, neurology, orthopedics, chiropractic care and oncology. That breadth may suit single-specialty offices as well as practices whose coding and payer rules differ from those of a general medical office.

Background and credentials

The business has been part of the Weirton community since 1993. Listings name its affiliations with NWBOC, MGMA-ACMPE and AAPC. AAPC is a coding certification organization, while MGMA-ACMPE is the medical group management association together with its college of executives. Practices comparing billing vendors may value the firm's local office, its long track record and its combination of billing, transcription, auditing and consulting work. Those traits tend to fit practices that prefer a nearby partner over a large national outsourcer.
