CROSSVILLE, Tenn., October 28, 2008 – Oncology Partners, a consulting and medical billing firm serving oncology practices, today announced that Antonio Moran, Jr., MD has selected Oncology Partners to provide practice management consulting and medical billing services for his practice. Oncology Partners is tasked with handling the practice’s billing and collection operations to increase efficiencies and streamline the overall billing process.
Based in Brunswick, Georgia, Dr. Moran’s oncology practice previously handled its medical billing and collections in-house. While the practice continues to oversee the billing practice from a high level, Oncology Partners has cut its overall billing and payment cycle by as much as 40 percent, significantly reducing the cost of overhead and allowing the practice manager to shift primary focus to other tasks.
Dr. Moran said, “We decided to partner with Oncology Partners because they really understand the challenges we face as a growing medical practice, and they are up-to-date on the latest practice efficiencies and billing practices. Within a few months, Oncology Partners’ industry expertise has allowed us to gain more control of the financial aspects of our practice which has resulted in tremendous time and cost savings.”
“In addition,” said Dr. Moran, “Oncology Partners provides a 48-hour turnaround on billing and collections once they receive information from the practice. We believe that this rapid turnaround will continue to optimize our cash flow and allow us to take advantage of time-sensitive discounts on chemotherapy agents
.”
Oncology Partners was co-founded in 2004 by oncologist Dirk Davidson, M.D. and Kevin Combs, a recognized expert in the medical billing industry. The company’s proven methods help small- and mid-sized oncology practices improve efficiencies and profits in their billing operations and practice management. Oncology Partners also offers consulting services in the areas of practice management and contract negotiation with wholesalers.
Dr. Davidson, president and co-founder of Oncology Partners, said, “The task of oncology billing can be overwhelming and we have seen many practices, particularly smaller ones, struggle to keep up with the volume. We look forward to working with Dr. Moran to implement our methodology and simplify the financial side of his practice, which allows him to concentrate on patient care.”
