Searching for Billing Company

Posted on October 11, 2018 by CPC Exam Medical Coding Updates

Hi guys!

My office is looking to find a company to handle our revenue cycle management (billing, collections, etc.). We are a physical therapy office in Los Angeles with only one location, at the moment. We see on average 80 patients per day with 8 full time physical therapists, but we are constantly growing with plans to expand to three locations within the next year. If any of you know of a company that might be interested in doing this for us, please send me a message or post a comment on here!
