Bronze - Physician Advocates of Minnesota

http://www.physicianadvocatesofmn.com/

Having an advocate in their corner is the physician's key to getting paid. Despite the fact that the health-care industry is alive and well in America, most physicians and other health-care providers have no idea how to contractually get themselves paid quickly and efficiently, if at all—either by insurers or by patients who are also waiting for that check to arrive in the mail. Private and government-administered insurance companies, HMOs, PPOs and a host of other mysteriously initialed plans have conspired to make physician reimbursements as elusive as the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Physicians, once the leaders of the health-care world, are fast becoming the underdogs. Not to worry—the medical billing service is on hand to save the day. A contracting and reimbursement expert can dramatically increase the physician's immediate revenue.
