Our fees vary by specialty and size of the practice, since the resources necessary to perform billing vary widely depending on those two factors. If you would like a firm quote from us for your particular practice, we would be happy to provide one, once we know more about your practice.

Depending on the complexity of account set up and the type and amount of services we will be providing, your account will be up and running in approximately 60-90 days.

Our goal is to provide prompt and friendly service to all clients. MMRI's staff is organized by specialty and is highly knowledgeable about the practices they serve. As a client, you will get to know the MMRI staff member(s) that will service your account and answer your inquiries. If your account contact person is unavailable for any reason when you call MMRI, you will be forwarded to another team member knowledgeable about your specialty that will be able to help you.

To measure our success, we use specialty and region-specific benchmark data from national organizations, such as MGMA. We also employ our own internal benchmarking process created from over 20 years of billing experience. MMRI uses a variety of benchmark standards to provide clients with information on how their practice is doing compared to similar practices.

"ASP" is the acronym for "Application Service Provider." (You may be familiar with the term "ISP" or internet service provider). As an ASP, MMRI allows clients to utilize our practice management system to do their billing with their own staff. This model - the client accessing our system with their own staff - is called "Shared Service". Shared Service is an alternative for a practice which does not want to purchase and operate its own practice management system, yet does not want to hire a full-service billing company.

The best guarantee we can give you is the fact that we use this very same system to service our own clients. MMRI is therefore not only the administrator of our GE Centricity Group Management system, but also its largest single user. We have found the CGM System to be robust and flexible, able to serve large and small clients equally well. CGM is powerful, sophisticated, and backed by GE's reputation for quality and reliability.

We have a detailed backup storage system for compiling and storing daily backup tapes in a secure off-site location so that if a disaster struck, we could reconstruct all client data.

The Office of the Inspector General has targeted documentation and coding practices for intense scrutiny in the past several years.
