In this ever changing healthcare environment, providers need a company they can rely on to get the job done right.
OA was established in 1996 to offer “back office” services. Over the years, we have developed into a company that offers state- of-the-art professional auditing, coding and billing services. Our services exceed the needs of our clients, both solo and group practices to include Rural Health Clinics and Providers.
The OA Philosophy
Every practice is unique – one size does not fit all. We customize our services and solutions around our client needs. We offer full-service coding, billing, consulting and distinct customized service options that are tailored to meet the strategic goals of the practice and/or client.
Why Outsourcing Works
By outsourcing the billing and collection functions of your practice, particularly in today’s healthcare economy, providers can be focused on clinical services. Providers generate revenue by delivering clinical services. Our coding and billing services remove the burden of the professional administrative duties which allows providers to focus of their time on quality of care and time with their patients.
In viewing these essential functions of a healthcare business, the coding, billing and collection functions have the potential to limit the delivery of clinical services when problems arise that demand ’management’ attention. Furthermore, the legislation and forthcoming carrier audits, even the smallest practice will need to hire one or more full time staff simply to stay abreast of changing requirements in coding, billing, collection and credentialing.
By outsourcing these functions, The Office Assistant (OA) is taking on the responsibility to be informed, manage the revenue stream, and keep providers and practitioners aware of the ever-changing regulatory environment. In addition, OA offers audit and consulting services in preparation or response to carrier audits. These services become invaluable as not only preparation but to also identify any areas of concern which may include registration processes, HIPAA compliance standards, Red Flag rules, in addition to other process and procedural changes that may enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the practice.
Regulatory and economic pressures have caused the coding, billing and collection functions to be the largest ‘stressers’ in a practice. So, outsource the functions to those whom you can rely on to be the experts and your stress relief.
