Efficient and effective medical billing and coding are more important than ever. In today’s healthcare industry, receiving appropriate reimbursement for provided care poses a significant challenge to maintaining and growing a profitable private practice. As legislative and contractual complexities expand, in-house billing departments demand an ever-increasing share of practices’ management time and resources. Without the right expertise, improper coding and insufficient documentation can also lead to repeated denials, revenue shortfalls, and compliance issues. With over 30 years of experience, Empire Management Group’s dedicated California credentialing, billing, and coding specialists have the knowledge needed to navigate complex payer requirements to ensure accurate, thorough medical coding and maximum reimbursements.

EMG has extensive experience with the often lengthy and arduous process of third-party payor credentialing and CAQH provider credentialing updates.
While most of our providers take care of their own coding, our certified billing & coding specialists review the charges to prevent denials and compliance issues.
Upon receiving the daily charges from your practice, your designated billers review diagnoses and coding, enter charges, and submit claims via a clearinghouse. Claims are randomly audited for accuracy.
Through our detailed code and charge review process, we ensure claims are submitted accurately. If a rejection does occur, corrections are submitted as quickly as possible to avoid reimbursement delays.
Our team verifies all ERAs and EOBs for appropriate reimbursement on each claim, and posts remaining balances to patient’s accounts for payment collection.
Our A/R team ensures appropriate action is taken on every denial, making corrections and resubmitting claims or filing appeals so appropriate payment can be received.
If a balance remains after all payer reimbursements have been received, we generate and send easy-to-read statements for patient responsibility to your patients for payment collection.
EMG takes the hassle out of patient payment collections. We will send up to 3 statements and make reminder phone calls. Payment can be taken over the phone, through the web, and by mail.
Our team of bilingual representatives serves as your patients’ point-of-contact for any questions or concerns regarding patient statements, freeing up your staff to focus on practice matters.
With custom revenue cycle analytics and reporting, you will always have the insights you need about your practice’s reimbursements, A/R, and collections.
