- Medical doctors and other outpatient healthcare providers
Whether you are growing a new practice or need dependable support for an established one, we tailor our services to your specialty, workflow, and billing needs.
Collect the patients’ info — Accurate information is key in providing positive results. HMBS offers a Secure Webform method of collecting patient’s demographics, insurance information and method of payment (if you accept or require a credit card on file) that is HIPAA secure. This allows us to create their account for accurate and efficient billing submissions; whether it be insurance or private pay. Other methods of collection that are acceptable include fax and secure email from the provider. HMBS can also create office forms for this purpose if needed
Pre-Verify Patients’ Eligibility and Benefits - This allows you as the provider to know how much you should be collecting from the patient, that they are eligible for benefits and what to expect from their insurance company in the form of contracted rates or OON benefits if available to the patient. This is a key task that most providers find time consuming and can cause them to miss out on full reimbursement if not done properly and in advance of commencing treatment.
EDI Submission of Claims and ERA/EFT Enrollment — Getting paid! This is why you hired a billing service. We have been using electronic claims submission (EDI-Electronic Data Interchange) for as long as it’s been available. We will enroll your practice to receive EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer) payments from each insurance company you do business when available. Utilizing this technology allows for claims to be processed in a timelier manner; usually 7-14 business days. Having payments securely deposited directly to your bank account means no more “lost” checks or trips to the bank.
Research and Troubleshooting of Claim Issues - This is another important task that you, as a provider, should not have to endure; you have enough on your plate treating patients, documentation and making sure their care is priority. HMBS will always ensure accurate claims have been generated on your behalf; following their status to completion. Should a claim be rejected or denied by insurance, we do the research to correct the claim, get the information needed from you, the patient or the insurance to get you paid. We do not guarantee payment of all claims, but for those that have been submitted with accurate and timely information, there are usually no issues requiring this part of our services.
Monthly Summaries and Reports - As a trusted partner, HMBS will provide you with a monthly report of your activity including a summary of payments, procedures performed and outstanding balances due. Additional reporting types are available upon request as a separate service.
These Additional Services and Software that House Medical Billing Service offers are all highly customizable to your practice’s needs:

Patient Statement Billings and Collection of Payments - We offer the ability to send a paper and/or eBill to your patients, collect credit card or eCheck payments and create billing receipts to patients who may need them for FSA or Tax purposes.
Merchant Accounts - Want to offer your patients another easy way to pay you? We will assist in enrolling your account with a source that works with our Medical Billing Software (Medisoft) which allows HMBS to collect payments at the time of processing your claims; receive, track and post online patient portal payments directly to balances due, create payment plans and store the payment info securely. This system also allows you to accept a credit card in the office at the time of service if you choose to. Most providers prefer to keep the financial aspect separate from the actual treatment which may impede treatment effectiveness and progress. Allowing HMBS to handle the collection of copays, deductibles or private pay amounts will assist you if focusing on your patients!
Productivity and Practice Specific Reports - Want to know more about your practice details? There are several types of reports we can produce to help you fine tune your practice or get information needed to enhance your own internal operations.
Secure Webform Design — Streamline patient intake and reduce paperwork with a HIPAA-compliant webform customized to your practice, including your branding, logo, and images.
Patients can securely submit demographics, insurance details and ID cards, plus credit card or eCheck information when applicable. Add the form link to your website or pre-treatment documents. Once submitted, HMBS verifies the information and emails both your practice and the patient with coverage, benefit, and patient-responsibility details.
Miscellaneous Requests, Clerical Needs, Marketing Ideas and much more! - Do you need something else not listed above? Try us! You can request other projects needed for your practice and if it’s within our scope and abilities we will take on the task and provide excellent and timely results.
