Time is of the essence.
Quick and accurate enrollment with insurance carriers. Credentialing the providers in your practice so that billing can occur. Timely management of charts and coding so that missing and incomplete documentation issues can be resolved.
Provider documentation is the foundation; chart management and good billing practices ensure your continual cash flow.
Apollo provides the local physician group the kind of total billing and information service that large management groups provide and can cost-effectively capture and report the information necessary to correctly and compliantly collect for services, participate in Quality Reporting bonuses, and efficiently manage a practice in today’s data-critical environment.
What makes us different:
The foundation of successful Revenue Cycle Management is the quality and completeness of provider documentation. No other RCM organization has our ability to provide feedback to the individual physician on down codes, critical care or procedures in near real time. Gone are the days of a monthly or quarterly paper report with a simple count of down coded charts. We supply providers with the actual down coded medical record along with a full explanation of the reason for down coding, then back that up with summary reports to both the provider and to physician leadership. Many of our clients use our documentation feedback as a component in the provider compensation package. It’s that good.
No other RCM company comes close to our system of ensuring providers are completely documenting the patient encounter for maximum reimbursement. Everyone has reports – ours are sharper, easier to use and customizable per client delivered by a secure client portal.
Everyone has a compliance program – ours is supported by an ongoing three tier QA process with weekly reviews by our CMO, Director of Coding and the entire Coding Management Team.

Experience
A successful Emergency Department depends on high quality providers, excellent management and a solid revenue stream. A recent report on the future of third party billing companies stated “the successful, independent billing organization will be one that specializes and excels in the more complicated billing processes – those complex and difficult billing processes that are better left to experts”. Apollo excels at Emergency Department billing. It’s what we do, and we do it very well – from managing the basics of chart flow, to the highly complex tasks of negotiating exceptional managed care contracts, to providing providers with timely, relevant and targeted feedback – Apollo does it all. We do ED billing so you can manage your ED with confidence in your cash flow. ED billing is complex, you want an expert managing it for you. It will be the best money you’ll spend all year.
The coding and billing team at Apollo consists of certified coding professionals who are committed to staying abreast of the specialty’s newest “hurdles.” They are supported by communications and technology teams that maintain a paperless tracking system and understand Workers’ Compensation claims, Medicaid, Prudent Layperson laws, and Escheatment reporting, and how to handle many more intricacies and agencies that work with physician groups. The Apollo Team can effectively enroll providers with third party payors, work to help insurance carriers to translate their response codes with ANSI codes, transfer aged accounts to collection agencies, and provide stellar customer service, communicating effectively with patients without risk of violating HIPAA laws.
Apollo is a practitioner of the Patient Friendly Billing philosophy. Each encounter in the billing system is a patient. We never forget the simple premise that each and every patient deserves the same level of care and attention from the billing company as they received from their provider.
