Managing money can be difficult when starting a business. That's why we help with billing through Essential Billing Solutions (EBS), making sure your clinic gets paid properly and on time.
Led by Kaylee Condoulis, our Billing Director, EBS handles everything from checking for billing errors to managing denied claims. With a 96% collection rate in the first year, we help make sure your clinic gets paid quickly and accurately.
We also take care of things like re-verifying insurance benefits for accuracy, getting authorizations, and following up on claims, so you don’t have to worry about the money side of things. This lets you focus on providing excellent care to your clients.
