Level Up Your Solo Practice Billing

Get Paid Faster - Your Way

The Billing Reality for a Solo Practitioner

Running a small practice means wearing many hats: clinician, receptionist, and biller. You juggle appointments, documentation, and follow-up calls—all while trying to keep your revenue flowing.
  • Time Crunch: Every hour spent chasing denials is an hour not treating patients.
  • Limited Support: Without dedicated billing staff, you rely on manual processes and spreadsheets.
  • Revenue at Risk: A single coding mistake can trigger denials and slow cash flow.

Manual Code Lookups

Switching between codebooks and payer manuals is error-prone. Mistyped CPT or ICD-10 codes often lead directly to denials for “invalid or missing codes.”

Inconsistent Documentation

Solo practitioners may lack standardized note templates. Incomplete SOAP notes—missing objective measures or treatment rationale—can cause denials for “insufficient documentation.”

Claim Follow-Up Hassles

Tracking each claim’s status across multiple payers is tedious. Without a consolidated view, it’s easy to miss pending or denied claims, delaying appeals.

Keys to Billing Efficiency

  1. Automate Routine Tasks: Leverage tools that pre-populate common fields (e.g., patient demographics, provider info).
  2. Standardize Your Workflow: Adopt a repeatable process for documentation → coding → submission → follow-up.
  3. Track Everything in One Place: Use a unified dashboard to see submitted, paid, and denied claims at a glance.
  4. Stay Ahead of Payer Rules: Regularly review top payer policies for common denials in your state.
  5. Set Aside Dedicated Billing Time: Block weekly slots to handle billing tasks without interruptions.
