Running a small or solo medical practice means wearing every hat — clinician, office manager, scheduler, and, too often, billing department. AMS Solutions provides full-service medical billing for small practices, so a one-to-five-provider office can stop chasing claims and get back to patient care. We work on a flat percentage of what we actually collect, with no setup fees and no software to buy, and every client gets a dedicated account representative who knows your practice by name. AMS has run revenue cycles for independent practices since 1992.
When Your Practice Has No Billing Department
In most small practices there is no dedicated billing team. The front-desk staff post charges and work denials between patients, claims go out late, and follow-up on unpaid balances slips to the bottom of the list. When one person owns billing and they take vacation or leave, the whole revenue cycle stalls. AMS becomes your outsourced billing department — a full team of US-based, certified billing specialists handling eligibility, coding review, claim submission, denials, and patient collections so nothing falls through the cracks.
Why One Denied Claim Batch Hurts a Small Practice
Small practices run on thin margins and tight cash flow. When you only bill a few hundred claims a month, a single rejected batch, a payer rule change, or a coding error can hold up a meaningful share of your revenue for weeks. Larger groups absorb those swings; a solo or small-group practice feels them immediately. Our job is to keep clean claims going out the door, catch denials the day they post, and appeal aggressively so your collections stay steady and predictable month to month.
What’s Included in AMS Small-Practice Billing
Our service covers the full revenue cycle, not just claim submission:
- Insurance eligibility and benefits verification
- Charge entry and coding review by AAPC-certified coders
- Clean-claim submission and clearinghouse management
- Denial management, appeals, and rejection follow-up
- Payment posting and reconciliation
- Patient statements and a US-based support line for billing questions
- Monthly performance reporting with the metrics that matter
- A dedicated account representative as your single point of contact
Every claim is handled by a HIPAA-compliant, US-based team — we never offshore your patient data.
Why Percentage-of-Collections Pricing Suits Small Practices
AMS bills a flat percentage of what we collect for you. That structure is built for a small practice’s budget: you only pay when you get paid. There are no setup fees, no per-claim charges, and no billing software to license. You avoid the fixed cost of a salaried in-house biller — salary, benefits, training, and coverage when they are out — and your billing cost scales up and down with your actual volume. Because we are paid on collections, our incentive is the same as yours: get every dollar you have earned, faster. Practices that move to AMS commonly see collections rise by around 15% in the first few months as denials drop and follow-up tightens.
We Work With Your Existing EHR
You do not have to switch systems to work with us. Our team logs into your current EHR or practice-management platform and works inside the software you already use, so there is no data migration, no new tools for your staff to learn, and no disruption to your clinical workflow. If you are weighing the true cost of your current setup, our guide to what medical billing companies charge breaks down the numbers.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does medical billing cost for a small practice?
AMS charges a flat percentage of monthly collections rather than a fixed monthly fee. There are no setup fees and no software costs, so your billing expense stays proportional to your revenue — which is what makes outsourced billing affordable for solo and small-group practices.
Do I have to switch my EHR or billing software?
No. We work inside your existing EHR or practice-management system. There is nothing to migrate and nothing new for your front desk to learn.
Will I have a dedicated point of contact?
Yes. Every practice is assigned a dedicated account representative who knows your payers, your providers, and your practice — not a rotating call-center queue.
Is my patient data secure?
Yes. AMS is HIPAA-compliant and our billing team is based entirely in the United States. We do not offshore protected health information.
How long does it take to get started?
Most small practices are fully onboarded within a few weeks. We handle payer enrollment coordination and system access so the transition is smooth and your cash flow keeps moving.
