I have been with A Step Above Health Management Systems for the past two years. During that time, my collections have never been better. Outsourcing my billing to them has been one of the best things I have done in my 38 years of practice. This was my situation: I had been in practice for over 30 years. I had always had an in-house biller. One day, my biller left. That actually was one of the best days of my life (LOL). So my decision was to hire another in-house biller or finally outsource. I was always reluctant to outsource my billing because I am sort of a control person and felt that relinquishing this and putting it outside my office took away my control. I would be at the mercy of the billing company. However, hiring an outside biller meant they would have to learn my software, which is always a major challenge in hiring new people. There were so many software programs and my program was a podiatry specific program. Many medical biller’s were not familiar with it. Well, with technology, outsourcing your billing no longer means relinquishing control. They actually just log into your system and do their work remotely. You don’t even know they’re working. It’s like the invisible man is in your office doing all your billing. So everything stays in your office. Everything stays on your software program. The checks come to your office. Electronic deposits go to your bank account. Communication is never a problem. I actually communicate with my biller several times a day through email. I get a response almost immediately. Efficiency has never been better. Rather than paying my biller to sit on the phone with an insurance company for an hour, only to be hung up on and have to call back, my employees are able to help with the daily tasks at hand in the practice. I was able to reduce the highest cost person in the office, my biller, and now have employees who don’t have to be boggled with the daily billing issues that happen constantly. I was able to redirect my employees into more effective roles and increase production. When I analyzed my billing costs and realized that I was paying much more than just a salary to my biller, outsourcing became even more obvious. But outsourcing is more than just sending your billing to someone else to do. How well they going to do it? Are they going follow-up on claims the same way I was having my biller follow-up? Are they going to call the insurance companies and fight for every dollar I am entitled to? The answer to that surprised me. They actually do a much better job and are more effective than my staff was. And trust me, I was on top of everything going on in my office and it still wasn’t done as effectively as A Step Above is doing it. The bonus on top of all of this is that they worked my old claims. They were able to capture old money that I never would have been able to. It almost paid for their first year of doing my billing! So, while there many are other billing companies out there, some good and some not so good, I can tell you that you will not be disappointed with A Step Above Health. I recommend them extremely highly and without reservation.

I have been a client of A Step Above Health Management Systems for two years. For many years we did our own billing and thought it was being done well. I now realize it wasn’t and have lost a lot of money over the years. We simply have too much on our plates in today’s world of practice. It’s harder and harder than ever to do your own billing and get it right. A Step Above Health Management Systems has done a great job for me. They do an amazing job and I couldn’t be happier. I know you will be too

I've done both in-house and out-sourced billing for my practice over the past 30 years. So far ASA has provided the best collection rates with the least hassle I've experienced. Nicole is quick to respond to questions and issue and also has a deep knowledge base on medical billing. A true asset to my practice!
