Billing and Practice Management Firm, MMP, Chosen as Exclusive Service Provider for Ohio-Based Advanced Radiologic Physicians – 03/23/2009


ATLANTA, GA March 23, 2009 – Medical Management Professionals (MMP), a national firm providing billing and practice management services to hospital-based physicians, has been awarded an exclusive contract with Advanced Radiologic Physicians in Bowling Green, Ohio.


MMP will provide a full range of strategic practice management services which will include physician billing with an extensive focus on managed care contracts and increased revenue. Utilizing MMP’s practice management will allow the group to improve the group bottom line by improved collections and reducing expenses.


Advanced Radiologic Physicians currently works within Wood County Hospital and Toledo Clinic and provides a complete range of imaging services including mammography, X-ray, nuclear medicine, DEXA for bone density measurement, MRI, CT, PET/CT and more. Billing over 5,000 cases per month, the practice’s strategic goals include revenue enhancement, financial management, hospital negotiations and risk analysis.


“We identified a need for more expertise in the management and billing arena of our practice due to the growing coding and compliance issues that were impacting our cash flow,” notes Patrick Gustine, M.D., Advanced Radiologic Physicians. “We chose to work with MMP’s diverse team of qualified CPAs, MHAs and MBAs because it was not only able to offer up blind data which proved its optimal billing and reimbursement results with other clients, but it was also able to customize a practice management plan to meet our specific needs.”


According to Darrell Hulsey, president and CEO of MMP, “We realized Advanced Radiologic Physicians needed gains in collection as well as high-level, complex practice management services it was not able to get from other vendors nor in-house. With cost comparisons and careful negotiations of its existing contracts, we’ve already started to build its revenue by enhancing its billing methods, staffing and other business strategies for future success.”


Currently, MMP provides full practice management services to 102 hospital-based physician groups with 33 full-time CPAs in 26 states.
