What Do You Need to Accomplish?

One accountable partner for the business side of the practice

Clear Before You Commit

Clear pricing that respects your time

You should not have to chase quotes or discover halfway through that routine communication and follow-through costs extra.

What the price covers

Published packages include every listed step, direct communication with an experienced specialist, corrections, resubmissions, and routine follow-up within the stated limits.

How you stay informed

Command Suite shows what was submitted, who owns the next step, what is waiting on a payer, and whether we need anything from you.

When the work is materially different

A different provider, payer, location, system, workflow, volume, or result receives a written scope and price before that work begins.

No sales call is required for fixed work. If the package does not fit, we will tell you before you spend anything.

How It Works

A clear process before any work begins

Fixed packages start after completed onboarding. Scoped partnerships follow the kickoff date in the signed Order Form.

Fixed-price package

  1. Choose the package that matches your situation.
  2. Pay through secure checkout.
  3. Complete intake and upload the required documents.
  4. Once intake is complete, in-scope work begins within three business days.
  5. Track progress through completion; payer decisions and timing remain outside our control.

Scoped partnership

  1. Book a 20-minute Practice Fit Call.
  2. Receive a written scope, price, and kickoff date.
  3. Review and approve the Order Form.
  4. We build the agreed workflows, systems, or transition plan.
  5. We run the agreed cadence and report progress.

Experience Behind the Work

Built by people who have done the work beside practice leaders

For more than 16 years, Ryan has worked across hospital professional billing, outpatient revenue cycle, multi-site healthcare finance, and multi-state behavioral health operations.

AdvanceAPractice grew from that hands-on work with owners, clinicians, and administrative teams. The focus is practical: clear ownership, honest answers, and support that fits the people and systems already keeping your practice moving.

We work directly with the people responsible for the practice: owners, medical directors, physicians, PMHNPs, practice administrators, and billing and credentialing teams.

What careful follow-up can uncover

At one PMHNP-led practice, a contracted-rate review uncovered a payer discrepancy. Correcting it increased reimbursement by 30% across four months of team claims.

Command Suite

The visibility your EHR was never built to give you

Managed engagements use Command Suite as part of the operating work. Practices that only need the software can subscribe separately for $99 per month—one practice, up to ten users, month to month.

You went into healthcare to care for people.

The business side still matters, but it should not consume every hour around patient care. Choose a clearly priced package—or receive a written scope for work that is unique to your practice.
