Anesthesia billing is a speciality in and of itself

Medical Account Services represents the cutting edge in accounting for medical practices. Most significantly, they have dedicated themselves to a single medical specialty; anesthesia. Every doctor learns in their first year of residency that each specialty demands a different skill set, and a different focus. The same can be said for the challenges inherent in accounting procedures in each medical specialty.
For example, no one person can ever become familiar will all of the medical codes required for insurance claims, there are simply too many, and they are always changing. By focusing coders on anesthesia, MAS has built a team of the fastest and most accurate anesthesia coders anywhere.
Accounts Receivable and billing are unique to a medical specialty. While plastic surgeons deal rarely with Medicare, Medicaid, or hospital complexity, Anesthesiologists and their accounting people need to be intimately familiar with all three. MAS’s people have dedicated themselves to finding ways to help Anesthesiologists’ practices become more profitable. They started in Cincinnati, Ohio, but their success has led to growth into Tennessee and Indiana, to name a few.
Medical Account Services will continue to grow and succeed because they do one thing, and they do it well. They serve anesthesia practices, and their ability to streamline billing procedures, get A/R practices under control, and increase profitability is unsurpassed. Specialization is finally coming to medical billing, and MAS is leading the way.
