NextGen Billing Services
For specialty groups on NextGen weighing outsourced billing against the team they already have. We work inside your system, and you keep sight of your own numbers.
What does not change
- You keep NextGen and everything configured in it.
- Your providers document exactly as they do now.
- Your reporting stays available to you - handing over the work does not mean handing over visibility.
- Your data is yours. Nothing of yours leaves with us if you go.
What we run inside your NextGen
Claims from your existing documentation
We work from what your providers already complete. Nothing is submitted before the note supports it.
Denials worked and categorised
Every denial gets a reason recorded, so you can see which causes recur rather than only what was collected.
Payments checked against the remittance
What the payer said they paid, compared with what arrived. Underpayment is the loss practices notice last.
A/R worked by age and value
Oldest and largest first, because those are the claims closest to a filing deadline.
Reporting you can actually read
Denial reasons and A/R ageing, in a form that tells you what changed and why - not a dashboard nobody opens.
How the switch works
We review your recent claims
Before anything changes, a sample of recent submissions shows what is being denied and why.
Access, not migration
You give us user access to the NextGen you already run. No data moves and nothing is reconfigured.
We agree what your in-house person keeps
If you have a biller, this is the conversation that matters most. Some practices keep them on patient balances and front-desk collection; some move them to scheduling. It is your call, and it should be made deliberately rather than by default.
We confirm enrolment per provider
Specialty groups often carry an enrolment gap for one clinician or one payer that has been producing denials for months.
New claims first, then the backlog
Current work starts immediately so nothing stalls; outstanding A/R is worked alongside it.
What your staff still do
- Document visits as they do today.
- Schedule patients and collect at the desk.
- Tell us when a patient’s coverage changes.
- Answer anything a payer needs the treating provider to confirm.
Where practices like yours lose money
The question is not really outsourcing, it is what happens to your biller
Practices with someone in-house rarely have a billing problem they cannot name. They have a coverage problem: one person, no backup, and no capacity for appeals. That is worth saying out loud before deciding anything.
Billing knowledge that lives in one head is a risk
When the person who knows your payers leaves, collections usually slip before anyone connects the two. Practices discover the dependency at the worst moment.
Specialty groups lose money on complexity, not volume
Higher-value procedures carry more documentation requirements, and the denials that follow are larger and harder to appeal. Complexity, not claim count, is where the money goes.
Handing over the work should not mean losing the numbers
If you cannot see your own denial rate and A/R days after outsourcing, you have swapped a staffing problem for a visibility one. Ask any billing company how you will see those figures.
Questions we get asked
- We have an in-house biller. Does this replace them?
- Not necessarily, and it should be a deliberate decision. Some practices move that person onto patient balances and front-desk collection, which is work that genuinely benefits from being on site. We will tell you honestly what we would take on and what is better kept in-house.
- Will we still see our own numbers?
- Yes. Denial reasons and A/R ageing, not just a collections total. If a billing company cannot show you why claims are being denied, that is worth asking about.
- Do we have to change systems?
- No. We work inside the NextGen you already have.
- What access do you need?
- User access with billing permissions, plus the payer portals you are enrolled with. Your practice remains the account owner.
- What does it cost?
- Billing is 4-8% of collections depending on volume and specialty. Credentialing is per application, per provider. Every rate is published on our pricing page.
