Frequently Asked Questions
How much does your service cost?
MGSI fees are based on the scope of services and functions that MGSI will perform in combination with the several services we can provide like coding, charge and demo entry, A/R follow up , payment posting, re-credentialing and more. For these services we have fees that can be a percentage of net collections, a flat fee or a per application fee.
What are the advantages of filing electronically?
The improvement in technology for the Healthcare industry has been dramatic. It is now possible to submit medical claims, receive ERA's and EFT’s from almost every carrier in the country. This has allowed for the reduction of denials, in days to collect and the ability to follow up much more effectively. MGSI utilizes practice management systems and ancillary software to facilitate a paperless environment with access available through the web in most cases
