Each budget contract has a built-in element of risk, which is accompanied by a need for oversight.

Marcam Associates has initiated a budget system that increases the opportunity to maximize the revenue associated with these accounts.

Patients sign promissory notes and authorize the automatic deduction of a specified sum from their checking accounts on a periodic basis.

Our system furnishes the patient with a cancelled check and we provide a toll-free number that allows for patients to communicate issues relating to a future payment.

Our method increases the likelihood of plan compliance and mandates a follow-up routine that is so critical to this revenue stream.

Our clients enjoy the elimination of the labor-intensive tasks and the capital expenditures associated with this function. Our statements are patient friendly and client friendly.

An additional feature of our process is to work with each client designing billing formats that are appropriate to the status of the account.

Our clients can choose to send combinations of statements and/or letters. Marcam Associates is a licensed collection agency and, as a result, can produce low cost pre-collect letters.

We offer a wide range of reports, flexible pre-edit programs, address scrubbing and we have simplified the invoicing for this service.

Marcam Associates was initially created in 1983 as a collection agency. The principals, Paul Finnegan and Mark Niska, have extensive experience in patient accounting and third party collections.

Paul and Mark have served in various positions in national and regional associations for both the healthcare and collection industries.

We have continually introduced technology and developed a well- trained staff to meet the challenges that are involved with this function.

The ultimate test, of course, is performance. Our results are a consequence of our good "people skills", commitment to technology and an insistence on professionalism.

At Marcam, we recognize that our clients' needs are our top priority. We invite you to allow us to design a collection program for your organization.

This area of receivables requires a persistent and concise methodology. Our 20 years of experience insures that telephone professionals will contact patients on an ongoing basis.

Our sensitivity to your patient community is the hallmark of Marcam Associates. The collection staff receives continual training and they have the benefits of cutting-edge technology to assist them.

This function is performed in conjunction with our clients' systems in order to fully disclose the efforts being placed on their behalf. All monies collected are sent directly to our clients.

We have developed a staff of claims professionals who are intimate with the idiosyncrasies of this task.

Our people are experienced in the areas of health, motor vehicle accident and Workers Compensation claims.

We create an interface to our clients' systems in order to provide real-time updates to your commentary. We can also convert data to our own system and work independently.

Marcam Associates is a preferred vendor for Claims Processing.

Clients can eliminate numerous costs associated with the delivery of claims to payers. Numbered among our clients are major medical centers, community health organizations, billing services and physicians groups.

We are a value-added vendor in that we utilize provider and payer specific edits to insure the delivery of clean claims. Claims acknowledgement and follow-up reports are supplied on an electronic basis, virtually eliminating the reams of paper normally associated with this function.
