Your practice runs.
Your revenue, collected.

Claims filed clean, denials worked, prior auths handled, patients billed, credentialing kept current. The revenue cycle owned end to end, so care stays the focus.

The reality

The care is fine. The revenue cycle isn't.

Denials pile up. Prior auths sit for weeks. Credentialing lags. Contracts pay less than they promised. Money you earned quietly ages in someone else's system.

01

The denial pile keeps growing.

Claims come back with codes nobody has time to decode. The rework queue grows every week. Money you already earned quietly ages in the payer's system.

Prior auth is a two-week phone call.

The patient's ready. The provider's ready. The insurance company isn't. Meanwhile the visit gets rescheduled and someone in your office is on hold.

New providers can't bill for 90 days.

You hired the clinician. She's seeing patients. She's not credentialed with three of your top payers yet, so those visits sit in a bucket until someone remembers to work them.

You're underpaid and don't know it.

Payer contracts say one rate. Payments come in at another. Nobody's checking. It's not fraud, it's erosion, quietly, month after month.

The cost

Revenue you already earned, quietly rotting.

Denials that don't get reworked. Contracts that pay less than they say. Credentialing that runs 90 days. Every day of delay is dollars that stopped being yours.

The care team keeps the practice open. The revenue cycle keeps it profitable. When the cycle drifts, the care carries the loss.

The relief

Hand us the cycle. Get the care back.

Claims out clean. Denials worked. Prior auths chased. Credentialing on track. The back office gets quiet, so the front office gets its calendar back.

01

You stop working denials.

Rework queue managed. Appeals filed on time. Denials root-caused so the same code stops coming back.

02

You stop chasing prior auths.

Requests filed pre-visit. Statuses tracked. Denials appealed the same week. The front desk stops holding for Aetna.

03

You start seeing the payer math.

Per-payer collection rate. Per-provider margin. Reimbursement drift. The numbers that show what's actually working.

The machine

Every revenue cycle function, run.

Six workstreams, one team, one cadence. Claims, denials, prior auths, credentialing, patient billing, and the reporting behind all of it.

01

Revenue Cycle Management

Claims filed clean. Denials worked. Appeals filed on time. RTPs resolved. Days in AR watched every week, not every quarter.

  • Clean claim rate management
  • Denial rework & appeals
  • Weekly AR aging review
02

Prior Auth & Verification

Insurance verified before the visit. Prior auths submitted proactively, tracked through approval, appealed on denial. Nobody in your office holds for Aetna.

  • Pre-visit eligibility checks
  • Prior auth submission & tracking
  • Same-week denial appeals
03

Provider Credentialing

CAQH kept current. Payer enrollment tracked to close. Revalidations filed before they lapse. New providers billing on day one, not day ninety.

  • Payer enrollment & follow-through
  • CAQH profile maintenance
  • Revalidation calendar
04

Patient Billing & Collections

Statements go out on schedule. Payment plans set up. Collections handled with a tone your patients don't complain about. Balances actually clear.

  • Statement cycles & reminders
  • Payment plan setup
  • Collections coordination
05

Coding & Compliance

CPT and ICD codes right the first time. Documentation reviewed to match. Audit exposure minimized. Your care gets paid for what you actually did.

  • Coding accuracy review
  • Documentation-to-code alignment
  • Audit readiness
06

Reimbursement Analytics

Per-payer collection rate. Per-provider margin. Contract-vs-paid drift. Underpayment recovery worked systematically, not "when we get to it."

  • Contract-to-payment reconciliation
  • Per-payer & per-provider margin
  • Underpayment recovery
