The SMS AdvantageThese are some of the advantages to partnering with SMS:
Assume Responsibility for Your Reimbursement
Ensuring that you receive the appropriate reimbursement for your services is crucial to your practice’s financial health and to ours. Pursuing unpaid and underpaid claims and minimizing denials through clean claims edits is paramount to acquiring the best financial return possible from third party payers.
Provide a Greater Return
SMS clients enjoy higher collections rates, lower days in receivables and lower bad debt overall – equaling and typically surpassing industry survey results for their specialty.
Provide Advanced Technology Features
SMS has up to date technology available for billing and reimbursement support as well as the ability to offer technical features for your practice you may have thought outside your reach economically. Electronic functions that immediately speed reimbursement and minimize denials are in place today. Maintaining this level of technology as well as HIPAA Security becomes our responsibility allowing you and your staff to focus on patient care.
Acquire the Expertise Required Today and in the Future
SMS’ managers have actively managed medical practices for more than 25 years. It is this experience in practice economics and business management that contributes a “big picture” management mentality to our processes. Our professional staff has access to training programs and external professional development opportunities that continually enhance the knowledge we can bring to your practice.
Provide Local Billing Operations
SMS can assume your billing costs and provide local billing support if desired. We can give preferential hiring status to your current billing employees at your direction. This provides you with greater freedom in making long term economic decisions while still maintaining a local resource for your partners and for your patients.
Be Your Business Safety Net
SMS considers corporate compliance including coding and billing practices and HIPAA Privacy and Security Standards to be their utmost priority. We keep up to date on regulatory matters and routinely provide education to our clients on these subjects.
