How quickly will I see results after switching to ParaMed?+
Most practices see measurable improvement in their first billing cycle — typically within 30 days. First-pass acceptance rates improve immediately because we scrub claims more aggressively before submission. Denial rates begin dropping within 60–90 days as we eliminate root causes. A/R aging improves continuously as we work down your existing backlog while keeping new claims current.
Do I need to change my EHR or practice management system?+
No — ParaMed integrates with your existing system. We work with Epic, Athenahealth, AdvancedMD, Kareo/Tebra, Practice Fusion, eClinicalWorks, and all major EHR and PM platforms. There is zero workflow disruption for your clinical staff. We take on the billing side without touching your clinical operations.
What does ParaMed charge for outsourced billing?+
ParaMed uses performance-based pricing — a percentage of collections. No setup fees, no long-term contracts, no hidden fees. We only earn when you collect, which means our incentives are completely aligned with yours. Most practices find that the revenue lift ParaMed generates far exceeds the cost of the service within the first 90 days.
What happens to my existing denied claims and AR backlog?+
Backlog recovery is one of our specialties and often generates significant immediate cash flow. We audit your existing AR, prioritize by appeal deadline and recovery value, and begin working the highest-priority aged claims from day one. Most new clients recover meaningful revenue from their backlog within the first 60–90 days.
How does the transition from my current billing company work?+
Our 30-day transition protocol ensures zero billing gaps. Week 1: free audit of your current biller's performance. Weeks 2–3: parallel processing setup — new claims flow through ParaMed while your old biller manages open items. Weeks 3–4: AR transition and legacy recovery. Day 30: full transition confirmed with your first reporting dashboard. Not a single claim falls through the cracks.
Will I lose visibility into my billing when I outsource?+
You'll actually gain more visibility than you've ever had. ParaMed's client portal gives you real-time access to your complete billing data — claim status, payment tracking, denial reasons, AR aging, monthly KPI trends, and payer performance comparisons — 24 hours a day from any device. Plus monthly reporting reviews with your account manager so you always understand what's happening with every dollar your practice earns.
