I am currently employing and managing 3 virtual medical assistants in various roles including billing, population health and back office. These exemplary individuals are smart, self-starters who can be trained to perform new tasks.

Prior to Portiva, I used another virtual staffing agency and I was not happy with the candidates or the service. Portiva does an excellent job pre-screening qualified candidates that meet the requirements of the job.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Medical Billing, and How is it Different from Medical Coding?

Medical billing covers the full financial workflow—submission of claims, insurance follow-ups, patient billing, payments. Medical coding is the process of translating diagnoses, procedures, and services into standardized codes (ICD-10, CPT/HCPCS) which are then used in billing.

What Are the Challenges in Medical Billing?

Medical billing has become increasingly complex, and healthcare providers face several pressing challenges.

One of the biggest hurdles is building a reliable team of expert billers and coders. With the ongoing labor shortage in the U.S., finding, training, and retaining qualified staff is both time-consuming and costly.

This staffing gap leads to inefficient onboarding processes and higher administrative costs. Without an experienced and cohesive team in place, billing operations are prone to errors and delays, making the entire revenue cycle less secure. The result? Providers lose valuable income that should have been collected.

In addition, poor coding practices remain a significant issue. Inaccurate or inconsistent coding often results in claim denials, delayed reimbursements, and lost revenue. Over time, these small mistakes compound, putting unnecessary financial strain on practices and healthcare organizations.

Why Coding Accuracy Is Critical in Medical Billing

Accurate coding is crucial for clean claims, with over 50% of denials linked to coding errors. Improper coding directly causes lost revenue, and constant code changes make it hard for busy staff to keep up.

Physicians facing EHR challenges may also miss codes or documentation, increasing denial risks. That’s why expert coders and billers are essential for boosting revenue.

With these challenges, the outsourced medical billing industry continues to grow by 12% annually, helping providers reduce errors and secure payments faster.

Can you work with my EMR / practice management software?

Yes. We integrate with major EMR / PMS systems. We can also handle claims submission via clearinghouses or directly to payers as required.

What is the Cost of Medical Billing Services?

Costs depend on volume, specialty, payer mix, and complexity. Typical models include percentage of collections, per claim, or hybrid. We’ll provide a transparent quote after reviewing your practice’s specifics.
