"National Medical’s coding audit identified that our previous billing partner was coding and billing our ASC claims improperly. We were actually losing money on some cases because costly implant charges were not being coded and billed correctly. National Medical was able to go back and capture significant lost revenue. Their specialized, ASC expert coders have maximized our revenue and compliance."

"National Medical’s expertise in the ASC market revealed that our contracts were reimbursing less than Medicare and in some cases only 38% of Medicare. Due to their expertise and experience, they were able to renegotiate better contracts and increase our contract reimbursement by 305%. We’re now able to bring additional cases to our center."

"Before we hired National Medical, we were handing billing in house and were averaging $811 for each surgery. In our very first year with National Medical, with the same number of cases, we have increased our cash per case to $1,400. That represents an increase of approximately $600 per case, or 73 percent, all of which is pure profit for us. In absolute terms, that means an additional $90,000 per month to us on the same number of cases."
