Mid Michigan Medical Billing Service, Inc.
A Full Spectrum RCM for Reimbursement Maximization

There is a shift in physician reimbursement from traditional insurance fee for service to Value-Based programs and higher portions of the service being shifted to the patients. These changes have created a larger overhead for the physicians requiring additional clinical staff to handle day to day functions. It has become increasingly important for a revenue cycle management (RCM) company to offer customized solutions to providers to ensure the maximum reimbursement on services. Mid Michigan Medical Billing Service takes a unique posture compared to others in the industry as it truly is a full spectrum RCM company, including features of consulting, full credentialing in its pricing platform, coding in all specialties, and aggressive collections of insurance and patient balances. The company’s clients enjoy the entire package in one competitive rate, unlike others who may consider services, such as credentialing, to be an additional cost. Physicians in this ever-changing healthcare industry are already incurring extra costs every day. Mid Michigan Medical Billing Service follows a three-step proven process which starts with a comprehensive consultation and discovery process, customization and tailored services specific to the unique practice needs, and analysis-driven solutions for reimbursement maximization.
During the discovery process, the company reviews the current practices of the office, including, but not limited to, coding, billing, front-end collections, and credentialing. Mid Michigan Medical Billing Service also reviews the current programs each practice participates in, such as Value Based Reimbursements, MACRA/MIPS, and others. Additionally, the current front desk practices, such as eligibility checks and patient collection at the time of service or on previous balances, are also taken into account. The practice is then presented with details of their current successes or deficits in each area. From here, the RCM company begins to customize services tailored to the specific needs of the practice to improve efficiency and, ultimately, increase the practice revenue. Upon analysis, solutions are implemented into the day to day functions of the practice which assist the clinical side and translate into a healthier billing process, including timeliness and consistent follow up.
Take the example of a large healthcare practice that was struggling with large amounts of account receivables, low reimbursements, and a high attrition rate. To improve their worsening situation, the practice called upon the services of Mid Michigan Medical Billing Service, Inc. After conducting a thorough practice performance assessment, they identified trends and potential issues before designing a tailor-made solution for the practice. “We maximized the billing process for faster turnaround times and alleviated several billing bottlenecks found during our discovery process. With great execution and re-designing of the processes, this client enjoyed faster reimbursements, increased revenues, lower overhead costs, and a newly structured checks-and-balance system to avoid missed billing from their different service locations,” explains Kunal Kathuria, VP of Mid Michigan Medical Billing Service, Inc.
