Anesthesia Billing and Practice Management
for Private Practices
Fusion Anesthesia Solutions has been serving the anesthesia community for close to 50 years. We believe there is no substitute for human expertise, persistence and dedication and we have made this philosophy the heart of our business. We provide full-spectrum business services, from billing to complete practice management including tax preparation. We handle your business so you can focus on your patients and quality of life.
Focused on Net Collection Percentage
Net collection percentage is our primary focus and the foundation that we’ve built our business around. By using the net collection percentage as our key metric, it becomes the primary driver of our ability to deliver revenue to clients ensuring we are collecting every penny they are due. It’s easy to collect the initial 80% of billed charges but the remaining 20%, those are the labor intensive, hard to collect dollars that require rigorous follow-up. That 20% can have a huge impact on your practice’s bottom line.
Concierge Client Service
At Fusion, everything we do is with the client in mind. Our processes, reporting and technology were designed to ensure every customer has an outstanding experience with us. We pride ourselves on the ability to deliver customized reporting and dashboards, typically within 5 days from concept to delivery. Our highly trained and long-tenured staff are available round the clock to answer questions. We have never lost a client for performance reasons in our almost 50-year history.
Meticulous Reconciliation Processes
Throughout our history, Fusion Anesthesia Solutions has developed and perfected processes to ensure every single anesthesia case performed is captured and billed, including those often missed non-OR cases. Once payment is received, we use both automation and manual processes to verify every payment received is paid according to your payer contract. We have a zero tolerance policy for any payment that does not meet the expected. We see the process through until full payment is received and the claim is fully adjudicated.
