Practice Management

Hello,

I am working with a group in the DC/MD area and would like to find options for pre-authorization outsourcing and collection agencies.   I have a few that I am considering but always find value in reaching out to hear about your experiences and recommendations.

This is an MRI only group, with 6 locations.  We need a sound workflow, accountability, good communication, and of course results for these high dollar procedures requiring authorizations.  I am sure anyone that works in this realm knows that with the unique coverage per patient, it is no longer a general assumption based on the payer, rather researching by patient to ensure we are pre-authorizing correctly.  I am familiar with Infinix, but would like other companies to research also.   Any suggestions?  

For collection agencies, I am finding that there are quite a few still charging rates that are much higher than expected, and know that there are reputable firms that do a great job, and are closer to 22-25% fees.  There is one company I am speaking with, Finance Systems, Inc that has been in the industry for a while, and does have radiology clients.   Any experience with them?  Any other collection agencies that would be experienced in radiology and MD/DC regulations?   Appreciate any insight.

Please private message me if you have anything you could share that may assist this practice!

Thank you
Sharon
