Let’s Talk…

Let’s get started with some Medical Billing “hot topics”

* Medicaid of  Florida Web Portal, any issues? What do you have

to do to get paid? Ask us…

* In office surgical procedures and sight-of-service differentials,

are you contracted for proper reimbursement?

* How high will it go? Your accounts receivable should not be

more than what you bill out in 6 weeks, insurance and patient,

so why is yours so high?

Let’s talk about any of these topics, or come up with your own. Our medical billing company would love to hear from you….
