Wake Up Your Cash Flow

If your cash flow seems to be anesthetized, South Oakland Services is here to WAKE IT UP. Drowsy returns are usually the product of a billing company’s inattentiveness. As a result, potential charges are lost and/or reimbursements are not timely and effectively pursued. Our experience, vigilance and tenacity ensure that your money never sleeps. Utilizing cutting edge technology, comprehensive training and a policy of “eyes wide open,” SOS provides clients with these assurances:

We capture charges.

Highly accurate and intuitive technology coupled with an experienced data management staff ensures your practice will charge for all of the procedures and services it logs. Our streamlined anesthesia billing system is a vertical path, which runs directly from your practice to ours, and on to Medicare, Medicaid, Blue Shield and other third party payers. To verify that captured on-site charge information includes all potential charges, we personally double check electronic files against anesthesia logs. And we perform the legwork necessary to research missing information. From the time information enters our system until it is sent to payers (approximately 72 hours), charges are verified, coded and double-checked for accuracy. And our commitment to the maximization of your reimbursement does not stop there.

We collect the “difficult” money as well as the “easy.”

When coded correctly, 80% of anesthesia claims are reimbursed without a hitch. We consider it a high priority to follow-up immediately on the claims that are more difficult to collect. SOS actively pursues the 20% of claims that insurance carriers deny, return or simply miss. Our persistence and commitment to follow-up yields an average 98% unadjusted collection rate and an average of 57 days in accounts receivable.

If you would like us to evaluate the efficacy of your current billing operation, feel free to contact us. With this kind of attention to detail you can be assured that your money is awake and flowing. And working for you.
