HBMA Public News For Healthcare

Why did you choose to practice medicine?

Most doctors, psychiatrists, and other health care providers chose health care as a career to improve people’s lives.

But what happens when their days are consumed by paperwork, insurance confusion, and trying to secure fees with endless follow-up phone calls?

They’re forced to devote so much time to chasing down payments and administrative details that their real passion - making people well - gets pushed to the side. And their practice suffers.

It doesn’t have to be this way.

Bookkeeping & Business Service, LLC (BBS) helps practitioners...

• increase cash flow
• maintain better records
• obtain a more accurate picture of their financials
• most important, say good-bye to paperwork and get back to medicine

“Over the last nine years, (BBS)... actually saved me money while increasing my collections.”

Medical Billing in Methuen, MA: Experienced, Reliable, Cutting-Edge

We know the laws - so you don’t have to. Our medical billing team at BBS stays on top of current diagnosis and procedure codes, as well as relevant legislation, in Massachusetts, throughout New England, and at the federal level. (See how you can get $44,000 in government aid for your practice through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.)

We’re fully compliant with HIPAA, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act that was signed into law on August 21, 1996. This law protects the privacy, confidentiality, and security of all medical records. We stay up-to-date with HIPAA and all relevant legislation, so you can focus on patient care.

You reap the benefit of our many years in the business. We’ve offered medical billing services in multiple states.

We’ve helped physicians in private practice, group practices, and large hospitals. We’ve served psychologists, psychiatric nurses, social workers, pediatric cardiologists, primary care physicians, pediatricians, OB/GYN specialists, speech therapists, and physical therapists, to name just a few.

Our many years in this field mean we’ve seen it all - we know how to handle every thorny insurance and collection situation.

We’ve also had the chance to streamline our processes, so we’re as efficient as possible. This makes it less expensive - and quicker - for you.

Obtain full compensation for your services with our accurate electronic system. We use a fully digital system that significantly reduces the chance for human error (while also moving you toward a paperless office).
