“In 2003, after working for a large, multi-provider practice, I made the decision to open my own clinic as a sole practitioner. My wife (who is also the office manager) and I interviewed several companies that could help us with this endeavor and were impressed by what Clinic Service Corporation (CSC) had to offer. We made arrangements to contract with CSC.
4½ months after making contact with Clinic Service Corporation, I opened my practice. As I already had been caring for many patients, I needed contracting with 19 insurance providers as a participating (rural) physician. CSC helped me through this process and setup the documentation to send and receive electronic claims. Together, we negotiated with the insurance plans to get regular claim payment. I was participating as an approved provider with most of the insurances the day I opened my doors, and continued to be approved in the following weeks.
I opened my clinic on November 17, 2003 and my income was meeting my expenses by January 2004. I obtained my target income by March of 2004. I have never had more than 45 days average collection lag.
Overall, I have been very pleased with CSC and the services they provide. I have recommended them to several of my colleagues who have also opened their own medical practices.”
