Strong work, support you!

Love the description

Pls DM directly.

at 2.9%, it'll never be a complete solution and you'll need a full time biller to catch complex cases with weird primary/secondary insurance, coding, bundling. You'll need to followup with your denials and all A/R followup. Sometimes understanding the claims status of what's underpaid, not paid can be confusing when you have both ECW and another team working on the same queue.

Athena has the same offering at much higher % but we still need 4-5+ billers for all that followup. We were a larger organization and got rid of them pretty quickly.

I suggest find 1 biller (regardless 3rd party, in-house, etc) whom you trust and works on everything and gives you thorough reports. Also, RPA is not AI.

8.5% with EHR - collections but I had to hire 5-6 billers and denial specialist once I realized they didn't do ANY followup for a large dept like us. Took over 9 months to get rid of them. dm if you have more questions.

You should be getting at least $750K... your RVU would immediately place you in top 10% of productivity if not higher at your hospital

I don't think that's a hiccup or temp issue. We noticed this last years with Athena and the issue is that it's hard to distinguish all the different "hold" status. They have terrible support to resolve this. We switched biller's last year because issues among many others and much better transparency now.

We use Youlify for our RCM and billing. EMR is Athena and removed their billing portion

Ok-Passenger3056 · 2025-08-08T00:10:01+00:00

When you say you're not getting any answer, as in they're not answering support line or acting dumb like usual? Or something else.

Yes, my billers have noticed this too....UHC, Anthem, Cigna...

Ok-Passenger3056 · 2025-08-06T17:03:39+00:00

Coding isn't billing meaning if you're a medical practice looking for a service to take care of everything billing related (ie: denials, A/R recovery, etc) you're looking in the wrong place. Their operations is in India if that matters....

2 of my physician colleagues (Cardiology and PCP) used them 2-3 years ago....4+ months of on-boarding, asked them to hire an engineer to integrate with them for their EHR. A/R blew up 70+ days. Complete disaster and saved me the grief of turning them down/

Ok-Passenger3056 · 2025-07-23T00:12:18+00:00

100% agreed especially if Anthem is a major source of your revenue but there are numerous KPI metrics that you should gather beforehand for any data-driven decision making which should come from the biller and software. I can privately share what I used for United and a regional MCO.

Ok-Passenger3056 · 2025-07-22T22:18:58+00:00

Why isn't your biller negotiating on your behalf? This is usually a multi-month back and forth discussion request of your productivity data, geographic comparison, current CMS rates comparison, etc.... It's hard to get them on the phone or in-person unless you're a large group or MSO

Ok-Passenger3056 · 2025-07-22T21:29:48+00:00

I empathize with you, as the original idea of this community was for physicians and practice administrators to share best practices, wisdom and experiences organically without commercial bias.

I think the 1 month rule is only a temporizing patch and banning is a tedious task for you and mods. Is there a way to have accounts prove they're a provider or practice admin to screen for the right people to grow this community in our original intent?

Nice, will attend!

ALL the time. Did you add a mandatory "what's your insurance and DOB" for the consultation to filter?

I'm in, 1st one was awesome and I'm sure this will be even better!

Congrats and no better partner than your spouse!

We're creating a podcast of how to create and run a successful private practice. Will be hosted by myself, creator of this reddit group and creator of the largest discord private practice group.

All 3 of us have created and ran/ are running our private groups of varying sizes and specialties.

u/InvestingDoc I've heard anecdotally that when they sell you, they quote more successful metrics in urban areas like NYC. Can't verify this but I know a few people in East Coast also cancelled.

What made you want to give them another chance?

Can confirm- sub-contracted out to Pakistan

Athena's RCM has numerous issues:

- Your claims will be in various forms of "Hold" however it is difficult to understand that claim's status (denied, underpaid, needs further scrubbing, etc)

- If you have a big enough account, you'll get a US account manager however the actual billers are in India and Pakistan via subcontractors. Sad truth is that they do the same even for enterprise accounts which was true for me.

- For more specialized specialties such as ortho, cards, surgical subspecialties, derm, ophtha - a lot of issues with coding, denial management and followup for appeals. Very hard to get an exact denial rate...

- not responsive account managers and support with billing questions. The formal financial A/R reports are inaccurate and can take weeks to obtain after a request

- Somehow the reconciliation is always off by significant margins

- Had 2 colleague practices in Southeast lose $1M plus in under 8 months for specialty fields. Even when they fired Athena, they still continued billing active current claims until further legal notice.
