Medical billing has become almost as complex as medicine itself. As carrier and HIPAA requirements change, your staff may be spending more time than you can afford just keeping up with the changes.

That's why we offer the billing expertise and services of our dedicated staff. Let us focus on your billing, so you can focus on your patients.

Strong relationships.
Efficiency is important. So are the relationships we develop with your patients and insurance carriers. Your needs and theirs go hand in hand. We provide personal attention to every full service account. Your account will be assigned a personal manager to coordinate your billing, answer questions and communicate with you and your team. We get to know the nuances of your practice. At the same time, we can leverage the experience we've gained from billing for other medical practices of your specialty.

Quick reimbursements.
In most cases, our physician billing clients are reimbursed within 35 days. In fact, many of our clients have fewer than 30 days of accounts receivable on their books. We work toward the highest level of payment for procedures as well as a healthier cash flow. We'll gladly compare our average days in accounts receivable against anyone else in the industry.

Complete compliance.
We're experts on medical billing rules and regulations, so your staff doesn't have to be. Extremely competent and experienced personnel staff SSIMED's Compliance Department. We take OIG compliance very seriously for your benefit, as well as ours. Via audits and communications we monitor billing patterns and notify clients if any corrective action may be necessary.

Our success depends on yours.
We're results-driven. That means our fee is based on net collections, not the time, effort or energy we invest in your account. Our expert billing staff focuses exclusively on claims reimbursements. So you'll enjoy the lowest possible receivables days - typically 25-35 days.

Persistence pays.
Uninterrupted, dependable billing that pays for itself. And behind it, the most dedicated, persistent professionals anywhere. We can deliver it without burdening your staff, freeing them to focus on the needs of your practice. And that's the biggest pay-off of all.
