Cotten Medical Billing & Consulting Corporation

Cotten Medical Billing & Consulting Corporation is a medical billing and revenue cycle outsourcing company based in Fort Myers, Florida, working with physician practices and healthcare providers across the United States. The company takes on the billing and administrative functions that pull providers away from patient care, operating as a dedicated back-office partner for practices that want fewer claim denials and better-collected revenue. The services include medical billing management, professional medical coding across multiple specialties, and insurance credentialing. Coding is handled by a certified coder and biller. On the credentialing side, clients receive direct contact information for the staff member assigned to their account, cutting out the delays that come with not being able to reach a familiar person. Revenue cycle management ties these functions together, with particular focus on reducing aged accounts receivable. The results the company points to are specific. After two years managing billing for a provider in Estero, Florida, the team reduced that practice's outstanding A/R balance to $15.00. For new prospects, the company offers a free expert audit of the existing billing system and revenue cycle. The audit identifies where revenue is being lost and outlines what changes would stop that loss. The consulting work goes further than billing. The company has helped providers open new office locations, including finding the space, negotiating the lease, coordinating contractors and decorators, and sourcing furniture. One physician who opened a second location with the company's help went from $650,000 to $1,300,000 in practice revenue over three years. Theresa Cotten, the CEO, brings more than 35 years of experience in medical billing and practice management. Before starting the company, she spent nearly two decades managing billing, insurance claim reconciliation, and patient payments for a medical and surgical ear, nose and throat practice in Cape Coral, Florida, where she also identified unused CPT codes that increased that practice's revenue. The team around her includes a certified coder and biller and a credentialing specialist. For any healthcare practice considering outsourcing its back office to a focused BPO company in the USA, Cotten Medical Billing offers direct access to the same experienced staff on every engagement.
