At Independent Practice Partners, we understand that handling your practice’s growth, billing, and compliance needs can raise questions. That’s why we’ve compiled answers to the most common inquiries we hear from physicians.
What Types of Medical Practices Do You Support?
At Independent Practice Partners, we support a wide spectrum of healthcare organizations, from solo and small-group physicians to large, multi-specialty groups and health systems. Our expertise spans family medicine, dermatology, plastic surgery, ophthalmology, internal medicine, OB/GYN, concierge medicine, and more. Whether you’re launching a new clinic, scaling an existing practice, or managing a complex provider network, we tailor our services to your specific goals, specialty requirements, and operational structure.
How Does Your Medical Billing Service Work?
Our billing services aim to streamline your revenue cycle and reduce claim denials. We handle everything from CPT coding and claim submission to follow-up and denial management. Once you see a patient and input the visit details into your EMR, we take over, ensuring accurate coding, timely submission, and active follow-up until payment is received. We also provide monthly reporting so you can track performance metrics and identify opportunities for growth.
Can You Help Me Start a New Medical Practice?
Absolutely. Starting a new practice is one of our core specialties. We assist with business planning, EMR selection and setup, staffing, credentialing, payer enrollment, legal compliance, and more. Our consulting team works closely with you from day one to develop a roadmap that reflects your clinical philosophy, financial objectives, and operational needs.
What is Credentialing, and Why is It Important?
Credentialing is the process of verifying a provider’s qualifications and enrolling them with insurance payers. It’s essential for ensuring your services can be reimbursed by insurance companies. If done incorrectly or delayed, it can have a severe impact on your cash flow. Our credentialing experts manage the entire process to help avoid delays, ensure completeness, and keep your practice on schedule with payer deadlines.
Do You Offer Support for Regulatory Compliance?
Yes. We offer regulatory consulting to help your practice remain compliant with HIPAA, OSHA, CMS, and other federal and state guidelines. We provide risk assessments, staff training, and policy development to minimize liability and avoid costly penalties. Our proactive approach helps you stay audit-ready and focused on patient care.
How is Your Service Different From Other Billing Companies?
Unlike generic billing vendors, we’re physician-led and deeply integrated into the lifecycle of your practice. We don’t just process claims: we identify inefficiencies, optimize your coding, and help you understand how payer behavior impacts your revenue. Our services extend beyond transactional support: we partner with you to enhance long-term financial performance.
Do I Need to Change My EMR to Work With You?
Not necessarily. We’re experienced in working with a wide variety of EMRs and can integrate with most platforms. During onboarding, we assess your current system and recommend improvements only if needed. Our goal is to enhance your operations without disruption.
Can You Help if My Practice is Already Experiencing Financial or Billing Issues?
Yes, we frequently work with practices that are facing billing backlogs, high denial rates, or inconsistent cash flow. We begin with a thorough practice assessment to identify issues, then implement a customized recovery plan that includes workflow optimization, staff training, and enhanced revenue cycle processes. Most clients begin to see measurable improvements within the first few billing cycles, with ongoing improvements as we streamline operations.
