If your team struggles with mounting backlogs, aging A/R, or limited claim throughput, Medical Billers and Coders (MBC) offers a proven solution: the FTE model—a staffing approach that delivers expert billing support, continuity, and scalability.
Healthcare organizations are under increasing pressure to manage claim volumes with limited billing staff. Turnover, burnout, extended leaves, and hiring delays are critical gaps in revenue cycle operations, especially for larger, multispecialty care environments.
Why Staffing Gaps Are Disrupting the Revenue Cycle?
In large care organizations, revenue cycle stability depends on a functioning billing team. But in 2025, staffing challenges are rising due to:
- Shortage of experienced billers and coders
- High staff turnover and long recruitment cycles
- Inadequate cross-training for coverage
- Increased complexity in payer rules and documentation
These challenges often lead to:
- Delayed claim submissions
- Inconsistent A/R follow-ups on denials
- Backlogged A/R across multiple departments
- Missed reimbursements and strained cash flow
When internal teams can’t keep up, the financial impact is immediate and long-term.
Introducing the FTE Model: A Scalable Billing Support Solution
MBC’s FTE model (Full-Time Equivalent) gives your organization immediate access to experienced medical billing professionals who work as an extension of your internal team. This model is designed for care environments needing consistent, dedicated, specialty-trained billing support.
With the FTE model, you get:
- One or more full-time billing professionals assigned exclusively to your account
- Flexible scaling: add or reduce resources as claim volume fluctuates
- Seamless integration with your EHR and existing billing workflow
- Support across charge entry, coding, payment posting, and denial management
- Dedicated performance tracking and direct communication channels
Our team members are trained in various specialties and payer-specific rules, which allows them to step in quickly and deliver results.
Common Scenarios Where the FTE Model Delivers
Many large-scale care providers turn to MBC when they face:
- A sudden spike in claim volume (e.g., post-expansion, new service lines)
- Extended leave or resignation of key billing personnel
- Transition to a new billing system or EHR
- A/R backlog requiring short-term acceleration
- Ongoing staffing shortage and unfilled roles
By engaging our FTE model, clients maintain performance continuity without the time and cost of hiring internally.
