Billing service company A/R Allegiance Group (ARA) has expanded its private payor billing and collection services to include medical billing.
The two new services, CLAIMCollect and TouchCLAIM work to ensure maximum reimbursement of medical billing while resolving any disputes with payors, as well as to follow up with private insurance companies to ensure they pay on claims.
As part of the new products’ development, ARA reports it worked to determine what providers like and don’t like about medical billing and we came up with our two fully tested services the company thinks can make a difference in the medical community.
“With the addition of CLAIMCollect and TouchCLAIM, we focus entirely on helping our clients by implementing proven and ethical revenue cycle management processes that offer the best possible return”, said Keith Lilek, CEO of ARA. “Managing the reimbursement efficiently is no easy task and requires your constant attention; and since we already handle the flow of patient data for our clients, medical billing became a natural evolution to our already successful processes. Both services help our clients maximize revenue and productivity while reducing A/R days and write-offs.
“Many practices reach a point when they realize it’s in their best interest to hire a third party to focus on RCM,” Lilek added. “In doing so, it allows practitioners to put their emphasis on what they do best – taking care of patients and ensuring their satisfaction.”
“During our research over the years we noticed another need that wasn’t being addressed by the industry so we field tested our TouchCLAIM idea over a four year period,” noted Bruce Gehring, vice president Business Development. “Slow payments by third-party payers require extensive and costly staff for follow up, which sometimes results in nonpayment anyway. TouchCLAIM is a dynamic new approach to third-party receivables that maximizes reimbursement, and does what all our processes do, leverage technology, minimize labor and customer complaints, and costs just a few pennies per account”.
