title: Achieving success with billing and collections.
abstract: Practices of all sizes and specialties cite reimbursement management as a continuing issue of concern. This article identifies seven categories where practices can develop or tighten processes to achieve improved billing and collections success. Established and developing practices alike can use these categories and components to perform an internal check-up. In addition, this approach can act as a prompt for investigating new tools to support internal efficiency.
