OUR SERVICES
CMS, Inc. developed these solutions to help meet your private practice needs
Our team verifies patient insurance coverage prior to appointments to confirm eligibility, benefits, and financial responsibility. By identifying potential issues before services are rendered, we help prevent claim denials and billing delays. When required, we also initiate prior authorizations to ensure services are approved and processed efficiently.

We actively monitor outstanding claims and patient balances to ensure timely reimbursement. Our team follows up with insurance carriers, sends patient statements, and manages payment arrangements to help keep your revenue cycle moving efficiently.

Denied or rejected claims are carefully reviewed by our team to determine the cause and correct the issue. We work quickly to resubmit claims and recover revenue that might otherwise be lost.
