Services Offered

Billing Services

A billing service is to serve your private practice. To facilitate in the background task that primarily focuses on the interaction of insurance and your business.  We understand that most providers are in the business of therapy to see patients, not spending hours on the phone with calling through the insurance call center loop of departments, while you are eating lunch.  Or taking a morning of administrative work to follow-up on insurance issues. That is our responsibility to follow-up on claims until final resolution.  Even when insurance pays a claim incorrectly, we will call through to have them reprocess claims.  Since the start of COVID, insurance has been improperly paying claims, either with or without a co-payment with telehealth.

Private insurance

When we refer to healthcare most individuals are not aware of the healthcare benefits and their out-of-pocket cost.  Employees of the company may choose the amount of a copayment or a plan with a deductible.  Each plan has a cost associated, such as those with a copayment cost the most, versus plans with a higher deductible have a lower cost to be deducted automatically from their payroll check.

The healthcare policy is chosen during the period known as “Open Enrollment.” Typically, October through November, allow employees to choose the dental, health and vision plans during this time for the upcoming coverage year.  During this period the employee of the company will choose their health plan, the insurance company and spouse and dependents to be covered.

Through private insurance, the individual policyholders are offered EAP from the employer.  In the case, the employer has EAP  (Employee Assistance Program) benefits, you will be able to see a mental health counselor without any fee for a set number of visits, example six (6). 

Private Healthcare insurance companies are Aetna, Blue Cross, Evernorth (formerly Cigna), GEHA, Harvard Pilgrim, Healthy Connection, Humana, Magellan or United Healthcare (Optum).  As well as, the many third party servicing companies such as Allegiance Health, Allied, Beacon Health, and Meritain Health.
