The Ellzey Group has done the billing for my dermatology practice since I opened the practice 15 years ago. I have found their collection rate to be excellent. Equally important, my office gets very few billing questions or complaints about the billing process from my patients. Billing questions are handled by an 800 number to the Ellzey Group that the patients call.
Bi-yearly audits of sample charts by a coding expert is another feature of this company. The coding expert gives me helpful tips in my coding and reassurance that my chart documentation is meeting the correct level of the charged visit. Also, any insurance chart audits are also sent to the Ellzey Group to review and advice before I send the charts off. This gives me an extra level of security knowing that all the required information is being sent.
My account specialist, or Inga herself, are both easily available to answer any questions about my account or generate any billing reports I desire. In short, if you do not want to deal with the hassles of billing in your office I highly recommend this company for your billing needs.

We have been working with Dermatology Billing Associates since January 2015. After much consternation regarding their fees which are higher than I was previously paying, I finally followed the advice of a colleague and friend who has been using Inga Ellzey’s services for years. It didn’t take long for me to recognize the differences in working with a small local billing company and working with a true leader in the dermatology billing world. They immediately identified several areas where we were underperforming and changed protocols to ensure that we would not only capture more of our hard earned collections, but also ensure that we would keep it. The team that was assigned to my practice knows the ins and outs of my billing at all times and they are always an email or a phone call away. I truly believe that they have my best interests at heart and feel confident that they will be there when I need them. They now handle all of the billing questions that come into the office and have helped us to streamline our operation so that the workload on the staff is dramatically decreased. Inga herself responds to emails when I reach out to her directly and she has a firm grasp on all areas of operation at DBA. When we had a challenge in implementation to arise, I reached out to her and the problem was corrected. My only regret is that I didn’t listen to my friend years ago when he first suggested that I make the switch.

Our new practice was struggling with billing. We were overwhelmed with the process, kept getting it wrong, and felt like we were really losing out on collections.
After researching billing companies and speaking with colleagues, it became evident that Dermatology Billing Associates was the most skilled, capable, hardest-working company with the best outcomes.
Since onboarding DBA, we have been extremely pleased with our partnership. The team is responsive, knowledgeable, and always available to explain concerns or suggest better processes.
I sleep better at night knowing that DBA is our advocate and ensuring billing and collections are maximized with the best patient satisfaction.

The group is highly professional, motivated, and incisive in handling our billing and accounts receivable. There is nobody more knowledgeable than Inga regarding coding and compliance issues.
I cannot imagine having had greater success with anyone else.

We started with DBA in February, 2020, after having an underperforming billing service for 3 ½ years. Due to the many problems we experienced with the prior billing service we were very skeptical about outsourcing this portion of our business again.
Their CEO understood our hesitancy and insisted on making a trip to Chicago to meet with our providers, our staff, see our operations, present their business operations, and address our fears. For this reason, DBA stood out above all the others vying for our business. We were reassured and felt he really cared about our business.
Our transition was smooth and DBA has even reached out to help us with general business support during the time of COVID. They are immediately responsive to our emails, phone calls, and patients when they require information or explanations of their statements. We have had positive feedback from patients on how polite the DBA customer service team is.
Relationships are very important in this business and DBA is built on strong communication, support, trustworthiness, accessibility, and relationship building. With weekly phone calls from the General Manager, we have developed a friendship with them and feel they are part of our business family.
We were a business that needed convincing that they could handle our workload accurately, and DBA has been very supportive to us on many levels. The bottom line is that they care about the quality of work they produce, and how we, the client, are faring in the ups and downs of this unpredictable year.

In an era marked by increasing insurance billing audits, having a systematic approach to monitoring one’s charts is essential. Furthermore, as more of us are compelled to adopt electronic health records, we need to be careful that we proofread what appears in these notes. Not all verbiage accurately or fully documents what we do. West Coast Derm Billers has always offered to independently audit randomly-chosen patient records and compare the documentation to finalized billing. This service is done routinely at mutually-agreed upon intervals. A dedicated specialist provides thorough case-by-case reviews noting both satisfactory documentation and areas of weakness. A general overview accompanies this analysis. While I review each chart before finalizing it, I have been grateful for this additional audit process which has identified relatively easy but important documentation improvements. West Coast Derm Biller’s proactive approach keeps its clients outside the cross-hairs of insurance auditors. With stronger initial documentation, claim denials are more successfully appealed as well. Providers comparing billing services should also consider the benefits of this added audit service.

Missoula, Montana
I truly appreciate the extensive compliance program offered by your billing company. With increasing oversight from insurance companies and regulators, a strong compliance program is the best defense against audits.
As a busy multi-practitioner practice, audits are expected. The proactive program—including expert chart reviews and actionable guidance—is invaluable. Having your team manage and defend audits on our behalf is priceless.
The fact that this level of service is included in standard billing fees is remarkable. Thank you for the exceptional service.
