Uptown Medical Billing

Having a full-time, in-house employee requires you to train and manage while also having backup staff for coverage during illnesses and vacations. In addition, in-house billing operations requires either purchasing of or constant training on computer software as well as the maintenance of the computer system.

Our staff is not only fluent in working with the insurance companies but also adept in managing the fine line between clinical profitability and a strong customer base. The cost of one full-time employee to perform all billing and accounts receivable tasks would be approximately $35,000-$45,000 annually.

HIPAA regulations and the achievement of Meaningful Use Requirements require that an increasing percentage of billing claims are submitted electronically. Your software is capable but is that job role part of your business model? For every $1 that your practice receives only 16 cents remains in your pocket.

Whether reporting for Meaningful Use requirements or simply forecasting your practice profitability, retrieving the right set of data is as important as having it. The staff of Uptown Medical Billing are experts in all of the functionalities that your electronic medical records system provides. Working as a team, we have a combined knowledge base that gives you access to the best of the best practices.

Uptown Medical Billing was built on a professional foundation of over 25 years experience in payor relations and billing and coding. Luckily your practice management software does most of the work but picking up the phone means time and money. Did you know that 30% of claims made by primary care physicians are denied on the first attempt.
