Why don't you charge a fixed fee per claim?

We charge on a percentage basis so we have an incentive to maximize your reimbursements. Some companies also offer a secondary fee for those claims that require follow-up. This almost creates an incentive not to get it processed in the first place. We have taken over some of our practices from other billing companies that charge fixed fees.

Are you a collection agency?

No, we aren't. We try to minimize the percent of your claims that get to be over 90 days. You'll find you have only a small need for a collection agency. Over 90 days receivables for most of our accounts is under 5 percent.
