Difficulties & Challenges Florida Physicians Face:

One of the unique challenges that physicians and healthcare providers in Florida deal with is the Florida Medicaid Institutional Care Program (ICP). This is because Florida has a large elderly population (65 years and older), which is projected to grow to nearly 26% of the state’s total population, the highest among all states in the US.

These elderly patients are either disabled or fighting chronic illnesses, making them frequent visitors to physicians’ offices and various hospitals. This fact, coupled with the recent healthcare reform, would ensure that health care providers are required to ensure accuracy and compliance with legal guidelines to avoid a drop in revenue or negative legal repercussions. Our medical billing specialists ensure that problems such as inadequate reimbursement due to claim denial and other related factors do not take their toll on your practice.

Our Medical Billers and Coders can improve your practice's efficiency by employing the best methods of optimally using your EMR. Their exposure to various Practice Management Systems also provides greater collections for your practice.
