23 years · Healthcare Revenue Cycle · Nationwide
Your practice is earning more than it is collecting. We sniff out lost revenue and fetch every dollar you earned.
Most independent practices lose six figures a year to denials nobody worked, claims underpaid against a contract nobody read, credentialing that lapsed and quietly stopped a provider from billing, and services delivered but never charged. It rarely arrives as a crisis. It shows up as an aging report that keeps getting worse while everyone stays busy.
I am Melissa Frierson, MBA. For 23 years I have worked inside healthcare finance, revenue cycle, reimbursement, medical billing and coding, compliance, and operations. I work with physician and nurse practitioner practices nationwide from Florence, South Carolina.
Start with an assessment, not a contract
Two weeks, fixed fee, $2,500 to $5,000 depending on practice size. You get a written finding and you own it whether or not you hire me after.
