ACU-Serve, Jane’s Healthcare Consulting Form Partnership to Offer HME Providers Billing Solution

Oct. 25, 2011 - PRLog -- ACU-Serve Corporation and Jane’s Healthcare Consulting today announced that they have formed a partnership that will enable them to provide a total solution for HME providers that includes billing and consulting services, as well as compliance and auditing expertise. With this new partnership, HME providers can utilize ACU-Serve Corp. to handle all of their operational billing and collections, while Jane Wiilkinson-Bunch oversees compliance and audit consulting services.  

The creation for this new partnership was motivated by ACU-Serve’s desire to align their clients’ compliance programs with requirements established from ongoing health reform, as well as help pinpoint vulnerabilities so that potential issues can be identified and corrected in advance of an audit. In addition, Jane Wilkinson-Bunch while consulting with her clients is often asked who she trusts when it come to outsourcing their billing in order to improve collection rates. Jane owned and operated National Billing Company for over 25-years before selling several years back, so she understands the importance and reality of outsourcing, especially in today’s HME environment.

“As providers continue to prepare their businesses for competitive bidding by improving operational efficiency, many are choosing to outsource non-core compete-ncies like billing, which makes ACU-Serve a perfect fit,” said Tim Barone, partner, business development for ACU-Serve Corp. “In addition, with the proliferation of audits, HME providers are also seeking compliance and auditing expertise. Combining ACU-Serve’s trusted billing and technical expertise, with Jane’s 25-years of auditing and compliance knowledge, gives HME providers a complete solution for managing these critical challenges.”

ACU-Serve customers that have already taken advantage of this service have found this new partnership invaluable. Tammy Martin, owner and vice president, HomeCare Advantage in Terre Haute, Indiana stated, “With ACU-Serve and Jane Bunch, we get the best of both worlds; a highly efficient billing and collection process along with additional consulting on intake, compliance and auditing.  This cooperative approach saves time and money while reducing operational complexity.”

HME/DME providers interested in ACU-Serve’s billing and collection services, or Bunch’s audit and compliance services, may also qualify for a one-time, free billing operations analysis. Providers interested in this service should send an email, and include the name of the billing software they use to info@acuservecorp.com or contact ACU-Serve at 800.887.8965.
