Billing and A/R Management:

Billing/collections activities demand the use of efficient processes and/or technology to offset the impact of rising administrative cost. Over 85% of APS claims are filed electronically. At APS we embrace both process and technology, operating based on a recent independent industry audit at "best practices" levels in productivity.

• "Maximum automation, electronic edits to flag potential problems early. State of the art." *

• "Highly automated, computer system provides numerous reports for real-time productivity and progress monitoring." *

• APS claims submission process "best practices" in terms of timely submission and use of scrubbers for improved clean claims resulting in most claims being paid on the first pass by insurance companies

• Facilitated by electronic remittance and bar coding for private pay payments, again highly efficient.

• "best practice levels" *

• Payments posting/deposits made daily
• Daily reporting to track each account

* Based on Independent Audit
