Let’s discuss how we can help you achieve the financial goals for your practice.

Medical Billing

Get paid the first time.

Our medical billers are the conduit between patients, physicians, and payers, negotiating payment arrangements between all three parties.

Our goal is for every claim to be “clean” and compliant. A clean claim contains no errors and receives immediate attention from the payer, ensuring that you receive reimbursement quickly and correctly. Attention to detail throughout every step of the process is essential.

  • Effective denial management/appeals processing
  • Customized monthly financial reporting
  • Real-time oversight

Medical Coding

Accurate documentation matters.

We hire only the best medical coding specialists who have undergone extensive training and certification through AAPC or AHIMA. These highly focused individuals understand that accurate documentation is crucial to the financial success of your practice.

The coding team at Practicefirst is required to stay up-to-date on their continuing education and are proficient in a wide range of specialties:

  • Proper revenue capture
  • Documentation feedback
  • Compliant coding leading to clean claim submission

Chart Audits

Are you being paid accurately for your efforts?

Accurate documentation is critical to the financial success of any medical practice. Chart audits provide an unbiased look at the coding activity of your practice. Our auditors can readily identify instances of over-coding and other poor coding practices.

Regardless of intent, this may be placing your practice at both a financial and legal risk.

  • Identify missed opportunities for revenue recognition
  • Identify and resolve potential compliance issues before they become a problem

Practice Management

Positively impact your bottom line.

Your medical practice is a complex business. Managing that business can be challenging and time-consuming, pulling your attention away from patient care. Practicefirst will partner with you to develop a customized approach to identify practice inefficiencies and determine which operations would benefit from our direct oversight.    

Below are just a few of the practice management services we offer​:

Credentialing & Enrollment

Let us take care of the paperwork.

Timely credentialing has a direct impact on your revenue cycle and the success of your practice. Before a provider is able to bill an insurance carrier, they must first be credentialed by that carrier. 

Our electronic credentialing and enrollment system will track application progress, identify errors, and provide deadline alerts for any required periodic updates. Early notification of an incomplete application or error requires quick action. Our skilled staff will work to resolve these issues and ensure that you maintain consistent cash flow.

  • Payor enrollment—Commercial, Medicare, Medicaid
  • Managing & reporting of credentialing expirables—Medical licensure, DEA registration, CAQH provider profiles, and malpractice insurance

Healthcare Compliance

Know and follow the rules.

Fraud, waste, and abuse happen all too often in the healthcare industry, resulting in growing scrutiny by government regulators. We take compliance very seriously and can provide dedicated resources to ensure that your practice remains compliant not only today but also moving forward as future changes occur within the industry.

  • Development of a compliance program to meet OIG and OMIG requirements
  • Education and training programs, self-study and instructor led sessions

Accounts Receivable Follow-Up

Positively impact your bottom line.

The most valuable and critical phase of the revenue cycle process for any medical practice is the attention paid to following up on unpaid and underpaid claims.  A typical practice will experience 90% - 95% correctly paid claims assuming a well “scrubbed” medical claim is filed. The real value in the entire revenue cycle process is capturing that last 5% -10% of cash flow that eludes many practices.
