Our Services for Peripheral Vascular Practices

Billing Services

We provide these services to peripheral vascular practices exclusively. We collect over four million in vascular claims every month. Let us put our expertise to work for you.

Timely and Consistent Billing

We strive to submit your claims by the next business day after receipt.

Patient Collections

Once the insurance company has paid, we send monthly statements and call each month on delinquent accounts.

Collections

Should a claim not be paid within thirty days, we call the payer to determine why you have not received your money.

Coding Review

The staff is trained in peripheral vascular coding. Ensuring the correct codes with the correct modifiers and proper diagnosis is critical to smooth reimbursement.

Clearing House Reports

These reports are reviewed every day and any submission errors are identified, corrected, and resubmitted.

Chart Notes

The payers frequently request documentation before they pay a claim. We will gather the documentation and submit it for you.

Appeals and Denials

Denials are a fact of life with today’s insurance companies. We have significant expertise in submitting appeals and overturning denials.

Reports

Every month our clients receive a packet of reports showing trends and monthly activity.

Consulting Services

If you own and existing practice, American Physician would like to extend an offer to share our expertise with you.

Accounts Receivables Review

We can provide a comprehensive review of your A/R to determine how well your revenue cycle processes are working.

Appeals and Denials Management

Sometimes your internal biller just needs some assistance on a claim or set of claims. We can assist them in gaining both the knowledge and the tactics we use in fighting denials.

Practice Performance Review

A detailed examination of your practice patterns, billed charges and services provided will be compared to a baseline developed by working with over fifty other practices.

In addition to Medicare, many of the various Blues and other payers are significantly more aggressive in reviewing practices for fraud. We can assist with these payer reviews as well.
