These days, change has become the new standard in healthcare. 2013 will be no exception, especially for Family Practice revenue cycle management.

Plus, you may be facing potential reimbursement issues under the 2013 Fee Schedule and compliance concerns too. And there are E/M coding changes, too.
For all of these changes and many more coming down the pike every day in Family Practice medical coding, billing and collections, it’s imperative to the health of your Family Practice revenue cycle management to have an expert in your corner who understands these changes and how they impact your family practice group.
