Physicians and their medical billing partners face complex and time-consuming third-party reimbursement processes, government and industry initiatives to control the rising cost of healthcare, increasing volumes of bad debts and late payments, and pressures to affiliate.

Information technology is critical in meeting these challenges. But technology is advancing so quickly that many organizations cannot keep up or afford the price of re-engineering existing systems. Physicians, after all, want to concentrate on providing quality care. Medical billing companies want to efficiently submit claims and process payments. They do not want to be systems developers or pioneers of new technology.
