- 07.25.11 - Medical Business Associates Upgrades Medical Billing and Scheduling Software for Billing Customers to Complete Practice Management Suite
Etowah, NC – Medical Business Associates (MBA), a medical billing and credentialing company, has announced the release of an updated version of their eAccess medical billing and scheduling system. MBA’s customers will now have access to a suite of tools with the capabilities of a complete practice management front-end system.
With the new eAccess software suite, customers will not only receive the highest quality billing and credentialing services, but they will be able to streamline front-office processes including patient check-in and check-out through the new system. Integrating patient financial information, payments can be tracked for daily posting and accounting processes with a full audit trail. The system offers the ability to cross-check billing claims against a scheduler for more accurate and complete billing. A paperless front office is also possible with the ability to scan insurance cards directly, as well as other documentation including referrals, demographic forms, HIPAA signature forms, etc.
“Our new technology services will help our billing customers take their medical practices’ front-office processes to a new level,” said Meyer. “And, we’re already working towards some other upgrades including automatic eligibility verification.”
The system is internet based, so there is no software to buy, and it is supported by an experienced team of experts offering the highest quality billing and credentialing services to small and medium sized medical practices.

- 01.30.11 - Medical Business Associates Obtains Approval as Software Vendor for Bankers Life
Etowah, NC –Peter R. Meyer, president of Medical Business Associates (MBA), has announced that Medical Business Associates is now an approved vendor for Bankers Life direct claims submission. With no clearinghouse involved, MBA clients will see a decrease in turnaround times, a decrease in the number of errors that occur in filing claims and an increase in profitability. Patients will also experience quicker turnaround times, as well as increased accuracy in billing.
“It’s nice to continue to grow our list of direct carriers. Filing claims direct with the carrier instead of through a clearinghouse, provides the quickest turnaround possible,” said Meyer. “It’s always best to use the most direct method possible for filing a claim. The more steps a claim goes through to get to its final destination, the more likely it is that errors may occur. It is of great benefit to us and our clients to be an approved vendor for Bankers Life.”
Medical Business Associates also currently files directly to NC Medicare, SC Medicare, NC Medicaid, Railroad Medicare, SC Medicaid, Tricare North & South, NC BCBS, SC BCBS, United Health Care, Cahaba GBA, CEDI, CIGNA, Aetna, Great West, AARP and Humana. By directly filing claims, the possibility of a clearinghouse dropping a batch of claims or having problems translating HIPPA compliant files to legacy formats that many carriers still use is eliminated.
