   Medical Bill Gurus

   Jul 2017 — Present · St Petersburg, FL, US

   Medical Bill Gurus focuses on helping both patients & medical providers navigate the complexities of insurance billing and financial complexities of a broken healthcare system. Medical Bill Gurus is focused on leveraging technology and empathy to do the problem solving on behalf of patients, and help minimize the financial burden patients experience on a daily basis that has caused medical bills to be the #1 cause of bankruptcy in the United States. Working directly with patients, Medical Bill Gurus acts as a 3rd party billing resource for patients who have received significant medical bills at in-network providers, or have received treatment at out of network medical providers, as well as international providers, that require payment upfront for treatment and do not participate with insurance. As alternative and integrative medicine continues to emerge in the healthcare ecosystem, and healthcare begins to transition away from the broken in-network insurance billing model, Medical Bill Gurus is pioneering medical billing solutions to empower patients, as well as medical providers, with a method for patients to bill their insurance while still electing to receive treatment at providers that historically do not participate with insurance payers, and require cash payment of treatment upfront. Turning to the traditional medical billing business model, Medical Bill Gurus provides in-network medical billing services for all medical providers, as well as non-traditional billing services for surgical practices, physician assistants, and large doctor groups throughout Colorado and the United States. Focusing on a full spectrum practice analysis and state specific legislation for each provider, Medical Bill Gurus assists providers in retroactively evaluating reimbursements from insurance payers, and ensures that all reimbursements are in line with managed care contracts.
