Collections for MedBillingExperts Clients
Licensed debt recovery that extends MedBillingExperts'
MedBillingExperts provides outsourced medical billing and coding services to small and mid-sized healthcare practices across the United States. Their team handles charge entry, claim scrubbing, submission, and initial follow-up — the core billing functions that keep revenue flowing. But when patient balances remain unpaid after multiple statements, or insurance appeals reach a dead end, the account needs to move to a licensed collection agency with the tools and authority to pursue recovery.
MSB serves as the collections arm for MedBillingExperts clients who need professional, compliant debt recovery. We handle the accounts that have gone past the point where billing follow-up alone can resolve them.
Why Billing Follow-Up Isn't Enough
Billing companies are optimized for getting claims paid correctly and efficiently. They're not equipped — nor licensed — to perform the activities that drive recovery on aged accounts:
- Skip tracing and advanced contact discovery — Locating patients who have moved, changed employers, or updated their contact information since their last visit.
- Credit bureau reporting — Reporting delinquent accounts to Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion as a motivator for payment, which requires specific licensing and compliance infrastructure.
- Structured payment negotiations — Working with patients on hardship-based payment plans, settlements, and payment commitments that have legal enforceability.
- Legal recovery — Filing suits on accounts where the balance and circumstances justify litigation, which requires coordination with licensed attorneys in the patient's jurisdiction.
A Partnership Built for Practice Revenue
Small and mid-sized practices — the core of MedBillingExperts' client base — often lack internal resources for extended AR management. By the time a patient balance reaches 90 days, the practice's billing staff has moved on to current claims. MSB fills this gap with dedicated account representatives who work aged balances systematically, applying the right level of effort to each account based on its collectability profile.
Headquartered in Wichita, Kansas, Midwest Service Bureau has delivered healthcare collections services for over 55 years. Our deep understanding of small practice economics means we tailor our approach to the realities of lean operations — we do not require high account volumes, minimum placements, or lengthy contracts. Our no-recovery, no-fee contingency pricing eliminates financial risk entirely, and our HIPAA-compliant processes protect both your patients and your practice throughout the collection lifecycle.
Compliance and Patient Communication
Healthcare practices care deeply about their community reputation. MSB's collection approach reflects that — we communicate respectfully, offer genuine assistance with payment options, and maintain strict compliance with HIPAA, FDCPA, Regulation F, and state-specific collection laws. Every interaction is documented and auditable, giving you confidence that your patients are being treated appropriately throughout the recovery process.
Getting Started Is Simple
If MedBillingExperts handles your billing, adding MSB as your collection partner requires minimal effort. We accept account placements via secure file transfer, and our onboarding team configures your account within days — not weeks. There's no disruption to your billing workflow, and MedBillingExperts can continue managing your current AR while MSB works the aged accounts separately.
