Billing Services/Insurance Claims

When it comes to billing you need more than an entity pressing submit, you need a business development partner. PR does not just press submit and auto post adding zero value. As a provider there are so many aspects of your daily workflow that goes uncaptured and/or undocumented, and revenue opportunities are lost. We work with our clients to build and develop structure for those missed opportunities, as well as revamp inefficiencies within clinic structure/workflow to increase revenue. You are doing the work and not being compensated for it appropriately, and that we both know. You do not have time to read the 80+ page bulletins to learn how to meet payor requirements and earn the appropriate reimbursement for your visits, but we do. Compliancy and capturing all applicable coding/revenue opportunities are what we specialize in.

Practice Management Services/Consulting

Progressus Revenue is a Medical Billing & Physician Services Company that provides more than just the standard billing entity that approaches value as the reduction of your costs. We assist in the development and growth of our clients The fundamentals are what makes and breaks clinics financially, and unfortunately structure is hard to develop if you are not experienced in all aspects of the daily business cycle for a clinic and/or facility. Structure and workflow are always an item we end up revamping in some way, shape, or form to provide further scale to our clients. The audit expertise of PR has also led to the revamping of various ancillary products/services within PR client accounts. This knowledge allows PR to incorporate ancillary development with clinics on top of revamping the billing.

Revenue Cycle Management

Revenue Cycle Management that actually comes with a management component. The perpetual review and management of notes prior to claim production is one of, if not the most beneficial service our clients receive. PR has been able to provide client results nationally by educating, revamping, and/or restructuring practices leading to average client revenue gains of over 200+ percent. There are so many aspects of a practice that go uncaptured and/or undocumented revenue wise that PR develops structure for, and in turn captures the missed revenue opportunities. The audit expertise of PR has also led to the revamping of various ancillary products/services within PR client accounts. This knowledge allows PR to incorporate ancillary development with clinics on top of revamping the billing.
