Before You Confirm
You’ll need a current license, an individual NPI, liability coverage and an EHR. If one is missing or a license has a restriction, email us before you pay and we’ll find the right path.
What Happens After Payment Today. Pay by card, Apple Pay or US bank account, processed securely by Stripe Right after you pay. You get an email invitation to the AdvanceAPractice Command Suite, where you review and sign your Order Form, service agreement and BAA. Your onboarding packet follows right after you sign: one online form where we fill in what we already know from your order and public records, so you check your details instead of typing them again.Within three business days of complete onboarding and access. Work starts, and you can see every step in the Command Suite. We reply to messages within one business day. Each provider attests their own CAQH profile and signs any payer form that needs their signature.Through the finish. We file your applications first. Then come payer follow up, fixes, your contract and effective date, and direct deposit and payment report setup. Your closeout package comes after your last payment.On a monthly plan, autopay is required. Stripe’s button says Subscribe, but the plan is fixed and ends on its own after your last payment. If a payment is more than 7 days late, work pauses after written notice until the plan is current. No late fees or interest, and you can pay off the remaining balance early.Payment, Ownership And Service Details No added fees or interest. Monthly plans cost the same total as paying in full.The AdvanceAPractice Command Suite is included at no extra cost while we work together. When our work together ends, it stays open read only for 30 days, then keeping it is optional at $99 a month.State rules are part of the plan. Requirements depend on your license and state. Your state guide explains the relevant steps; we confirm what applies during onboarding.Anything outside your package gets a written price before we start. Nothing is billed without your OK.HIPAA compliant, with a signed BAA. Patient records stay in your own EHR and accounts, and you control our access.You own it. Your accounts, contracts, data and everything we set up stay in your practice’s name.Who You Are Working With Ryan Berg has run the business side of practices for more than 16 years. He worked claims at OHSU, managed finance for a dental group as it grew from two clinics to six, and ran operations at ValueCore Mental Health, where he hired and led more than 30 clinicians and staff while revenue grew from $2 million to $6 million. Owners work with him directly on everything behind the visit: billing, payer contracts, hiring, systems and the next location. Built for telehealth, in person and hybrid practices. All of our work is done virtually, so we never come on site.
“I struggled with the task for several months and only got more confused in the process. Between the various insurance companies I am credentialed with and not even knowing what I didn’t know, it was a scary maze.
AdvanceAPractice came in, handled it with confidence and good communication, and helpfully led me through my transition questions with patience. The fee was well worth the assistance I received. Highly recommend!”
