Payment Posting
Insurance and patient payments post promptly with ERA setup support so underpayments and adjustments are visible immediately.
Denial Management
Root-cause analysis, timely appeals, and trend reporting reduce repeat denials that drain freestanding ER margins.
AR Follow-Up
Every open balance gets attention — including secondary claims — with dedicated account management focused on days in AR.
Patient Call Center
Bilingual support handles statements and billing questions so your clinical team stays focused on emergency care.
No Surprises Act & IDR Pressure on Freestanding ERs
