SMB Medical Billing

SMB Medical Billing is a Kansas City, Missouri-based medical billing company built specifically for podiatry practices. While general billers treat every specialty the same, SMB focuses on the codes, payers, and documentation requirements that podiatrists deal with daily. The result is fewer denials, faster collections, and a billing partner that already knows the difference between CPT 11720 and 11721 before your first claim goes out. The core offering is full-cycle podiatry billing and coding, from document intake through denial appeals. SMB's team handles routine foot care billing with proper Q-modifier and Class Finding documentation, surgical procedures including bunionectomies and hammertoe corrections with correct laterality and modifier 59 usage, DME and orthotic billing with KX modifiers and medical necessity support, and ASC and surgery center claims. A proprietary scrub engine checks each claim against more than 1,000 podiatry-specific rules before submission, catching the bundling errors, missing modifiers, and wrong nail counts that cause most avoidable denials. For practices that want to see the opportunity before committing, SMB offers a free Revenue Leak Scan. Built from a practice's own billing exports, the scan surfaces A/R stuck in internal hold queues, claims aging past 180 days with no action, write-offs that were avoidable, and the specific payers and codes generating the most denials. It produces a conservative Year-1 recovery estimate based on actual practice numbers, not industry averages. Operationally, SMB runs on 100% U. S.-based staff with no offshoring. The team includes CPPM- and CPB-certified coders, 25-plus billers each with over ten years of experience, and an AI billing engine that handles document intake, code validation, denial classification, and appeal drafting in about 1.2 seconds per document. The appeal win rate across the team sits at 72%. Clients get a dedicated point of contact who learns their practice by name, a real-time dashboard showing collected revenue and outstanding balances, and coverage across all 50 states. SMB guarantees it will beat a practice's current billing rate. Podiatry practices looking to outsource their medical billing to a specialist back-office team can request a free Revenue Leak Scan directly through SMB's website.
