Her Story
Winds Of Change
Trudy reached out to us in the last quarter of 2006 when the office manager her firm shared accepted a new position and the practice decided to no longer pool together their resources for employees in-house.
Her Goals
The To-do List, Tackled
Trudy was simply looking to partner with an outside service that was dependable. One that she could trust with the details and that could give her accounts more attention than a shared in-house person could.
The Solution
Prioritizing Growth
We were able to analyze Trudy’s accounts and report on how many clients came from each insurance company. As a result, she was able to start started accepting and marketing to the higher payor, while referring lower payers out.
Next, we helped Trudy prioritize which insurance panels to join, and where to renegotiate prices. Last we began handling her authorization requests and paperwork, preventing denials and ensuring Trudy was paid. We worked the the challenging (and better-paying cases) that she just didn’t have time to sort out.
The Results
Increased Income & More Bandwidth
By intentionally focusing on growth, our team helped Trudy increase her average payment by 6% without taking on additional clients. She has more time to support her existing clients and the peace of mind that her her accounts are getting the attention they need.
