FAQs
Why should I outsource medical billing and contracting instead of handling it internally?
Outsourcing medical billing allows healthcare practices to free up valuable time and resources. Clinicians can dedicate more time to treating patients, while administrative staff can focus on managing operations and enhancing patient experiences. Billing companies like Administrative Medical Solutions specialize in navigating complex reimbursement processes, including claim submissions, denials, and payment follow-ups. This expertise often results in higher collection rates and fewer errors compared to training in-house staff or hiring full-time billing personnel. By leveraging our experience, practices can achieve greater efficiency, reduced costs, and improved cash flow without the burden of managing billing internally.
Similarly, outsourcing contracting services can be a game-changer for practices. Navigating insurance agreements, maintaining up-to-date directories, and negotiating favorable rates with payers are time-consuming and complex processes. Our team brings the knowledge and experience necessary to secure advantageous contracts while ensuring compliance with payer requirements. We manage CAQH setup and maintenance, help you choose the right insurance networks, and support ongoing directory updates. By outsourcing these tasks, practices can avoid administrative headaches, ensure timely contracting, and focus on delivering quality care to their patients.

How do your medical billing services help my practice?
Our billing services maximize revenue by ensuring accurate claim submissions, timely filing, and persistent follow-up on denied claims. We maintain a 98% first-time claim approval rate. Hiring an outside billing company frees up clinicians' time to treat clients and administrators' time to work with employees and clinicians in the day-to-day workflow. Allowing a billing company that specializes and has experience in these areas is more efficient than training new employees or hiring full-time billing staff.
What pricing structure do you use for billing services?
At Administrative Medical Solutions, we believe in a payment structure that aligns our success with yours. Our billing services are billed as a percentage of collected revenue, except in states where this model is prohibited. This approach incentivizes efficiency and timeliness—we only get paid when you get paid. As your practice grows, we offer volume discounts to help you keep more of what you earn. This performance-based pricing model fosters a collaborative partnership, where both parties are motivated to achieve optimal revenue outcomes.

Additionally, we leverage our expertise to negotiate favorable rates with payers, reducing administrative burdens and optimizing your practice’s financial outcomes.
How are your contracting services priced?
Our contracting services are priced per contract per provider to ensure maximum flexibility and cost-effectiveness for healthcare practices. This model allows practices to only pay for the specific contracting support they need.
