Success Stories
Joel Baranski, M.D.
Southern California Hospitalist
Dr. Joel Baranski has a group of 13 Hospitalists that handle unassigned, internal medicine patients for a San Diego hospital. They also serve as the primary internal medicine attending physicians and do a lot of teaching for residents. Baranski and his group have entrusted their billing and other accounting services with HRA for the past seven years.
HRA is not only able to handle a large number of cases, but they are also able to help with our problematic patients, i.e., those with little or no insurance. HRA is very good at following through on these unfunded patients by submitting to a variety of sources to help us get reimbursed. Anybody can bill Medicare, but compared with other billing companies I've worked with, HRA is much more thorough, following up on funds for the problem patients, Dr. Baranski commented.
We are a fairly busy hospitalist group, admitting approximately 10-12 patients per day, which equates to about 35000 hospital visits per year, Dr. Baranski stated.
In addition to billing for Dr. Baranski's group, HRA also provides other special services such as accounting and payroll. Dr. Baranski feels HRA is very knowledgeable about the different types of insurance and funding sources to assist with a variety of patients. He said that HRA is also very resourceful when it comes to handling those uninsured and other "problem" patients, optimizing reimbursement for the Hospitalist group and continuously following up to make sure the physicians get paid for all cases.
We are very happy with the services HRA provides, Dr. Baranski said.
