Watch with chapters and transcript
Billing problems often start upstream, in credentialing, payer setup or the EHR, so the person working your denials can fix what caused them.
Plenty of companies list the same services. These three things are how we’re different, and you can check each one before you buy.
You don’t need a billing company and a separate software company that have never spoken. The person working your denials and enrollments builds the tracker or report that fixes the cause.
See What We BuildEvery package has its price on this site. You can see the number before you tell us your name.
See Every Published PriceEnrollments, EHR settings, trackers and reports sit in accounts your practice owns, under your own Tax ID. Nothing’s stranded with us if we part ways.
Meet The People Doing The WorkWe don’t name a client unless they’ve approved it.
Ryan Berg founded AdvanceAPractice in Portland in 2023, after more than 16 years in hospital professional billing, outpatient revenue cycle and behavioral health operations across multiple states. We work directly with owners, medical directors and their teams.
A solo PMHNP owner set out to add his first provider and found two of his own payer contracts broken, one denying every claim as out of network. He ended as a two provider group with a third onboarding.
Read The Growth StoryA payer’s fee schedule still reflected the state the owner had practiced in years earlier. After four attempts over three months, the payer approved higher contracted rates on seven service codes at once, as an addendum effective the next month.
See How Rates Get FixedA multi clinician therapy group moved its whole billing operation across at once: primary and secondary claims, denial work and appeals, timely filing corrections, payment posting, and patient invoicing and collections. Provider transfers and credentialing ran alongside it across Medicaid and five commercial plans, inside the practice management and clearinghouse tools the group already used.
Explore Revenue Cycle Work
A contracted rate review uncovered a payer discrepancy. Ryan’s correction increased reimbursement by 30% across four months of team claims and resulted in backpay.
See The Full Background“They reorganized our workflows, improved how our team communicates, and brought in smart automation that saved us measurable time and money. The operational visibility alone has been a game-changer.”
“AdvanceAPractice has provided a great benefit to my growing practice. They clearly explained the confusing insurance billing process and helped me create a plan to expand my business.”
“Ryan’s unique ability to have executive and business-like vision as well as possess the details of daily operations has been and continues to be crucial in delivering, serving, and supporting our patients, employees, and contractors.”
