I offer a link for clients to leave me a Google review when my services conclude, or earlier if there is a long standing relationship. Leaving a review is their option and what they put in the review is their choice. If I have a client ask for a reference, I send them to my reviews.
It sounds to me like this exclusion would be if you were doing the billing for a physicians office or other healthcare provider. I would seek clarification to make sure they don't think you are actually doing medical billing.
BiBerk has me listed as Healthcare Management Social Services. My rate is based on my annual exposure, which is based on my annual revenue.
I have been with them for 6 years and haven't researched other options, so there may be a better one out there, but My Junna has served me well. Their portal isn't the best. It is complicated for clients to use, but most of my clients don't use it anyway. There is a lot in that their system will do that I do not use. Mostly features that are an add on fee. But for the note tracking, time keeping, invoicing (I send out my own instead of their automated option), and ability to keep information in one place with easy access, it has worked well for me.
I couldn't operate without My Junna. Being able to track my time, create invoices, keep my client's information at hand, and document what work I have done all in one place was a game changer for me. I do not use all of their tools, but the ones I do use make a daily impact.
That is my wheelhouse. I would be glad to work to sort through bills and insurance claims to rconcile for them. Free intro call and I am available after standard business hours. They can call anytime. 256-297-1813
I had to Etch-a-Sketch my business model almost immediatly when I opened my independent advocacy practice. My LLC was formed in February 2020 and the world closed down in March due to Covid. But the changes I made allowed me to serve clients all over the USA remotely. Over the years my business has evolved. The unforseen changes I had to implement early, have benefited throughout the years. Being able to adapt to client's needs is something I continue with to this day.
Even another connection we have, patient transport. The next time we make a trip to Lexington, I am definitely going to have to make a side trip to meet in person for advocacy discussions over a cup of coffee.
Hello from Alabama! Next month I will complete my 6th year in business as an independent patient advocate. I serve clients across the USA and beyond.
I have a degree in accounting and spent 14 years auditing hospital reimbursements for Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Alabama. This included audits of both governmental and private insurance. I also spent a few years working on the hospital side, working for Alabama's largest health system in their reimbursement department.
On the care side of healthcare, I have been a licensed EMT for over 33 years. I still provide care as an EMT with my local volunteer fire department whenever I can.
I became a BCPA in 2018 at the initial exam offering. In 2020, I opened up my own independent patient advocacy business. In 2022, I was awarded the inaugural Independent Advocate of the Year award by the Healthcare Advocate Summit.
Roughly 80% of my business relates to the financial side of healthcare. Denials, claims, medical bills, negotiating settlements… I also work with clients to file supplemental insurance claims on policies such as AFLAC. The remaining 22% of my business relates to navigating healthcare.
My ideal client is one with a medical bill in excess of $50,000. I will accept smaller cases, they just need to make financial sense for a client to pay me to resolve. These can be from either an insurance claim that has left the client owing more than they thought they should owe to someone with no insurance who is looking to negotiate a reduced rate in exchange for a single, lump sum payment. I enjoy the challenge of untangling the crazy things that happen to insurance claims and pushing to make sure the claims are paid properly.
