Bettinger, Stimler, Schultz & Associates Now Offering Bad Debt Management and Bad Debt Sales Consulting Services
PINECREST, FL, May 26, 2009 - Bettinger, Stimler, Schultz & Associates (BSA Healthcare) is
pleased to announce the expansion of its services offerings to include consulting services for bad
debt management and bad debt sales. The new service will assist large emergency medicine physician
groups running internal billing companies, emergency medicine physician practices who outsource their
bad debt process, and external emergency medicine billing companies working with outside collection
agency vendors to best utilize these resources in an effort to collect as much money as possible. To
offer these services, BSA Healthcare has partnered with Michael Weiner, MHA, a nationally recognized
expert in emergency medicine billing, reimbursement, and bad debt sales.
After starting and directing the infrastructure for what is now a billing system that processes in
excess of 7 million new patient visits annually, Mr. Weiner developed and directed an internal and
fully licensed collection agency to support and service these billing systems. This focus on bad
debt management also evolved into the first national program to sell fully charged off medical bad
debt on a monthly forward flow basis. Both the internal collection agency and the bad debt sales
program continue to add significant cash flow and bottom line performance benefits to the practice
management group.
"The benefits of a good bad debt sales management program include increased cash flow from fully
charged off AR and proceeds that go straight to the bottom line," said Jeffrey Bettinger, MD,
Managing Member, BSA Healthcare. "In these times of growing bad debt due to economic conditions,
compounded by declining collection agency recoveries and falling prices for the sale of medical
bad debt portfolios, it is crucial that physician groups and their billing companies maximize all
resources in an effort to collect as much money as possible."
