Consortium vs Dedicated

Pooled Billers vs a Fixed Specialty Pod

MBC's model aggregates independent billers and coders across geographies, useful for breadth, less useful for building durable institutional knowledge of your practice. Revenue Synergy assigns a consistent team that compounds value over time.

Fixed Pod Assignment

Same coders, AR analysts, and account manager every day. They learn your provider panel, your top payers, your common denials, and your specialty-specific modifiers. Consistency drives clean claim rates up and denial rates down.

Credentialed Coders

Every coder holds active CCS, CPC, or specialty-specific credentials. Annual continuing education, internal audits, and real-time QA reviews on a sample of claims before submission.

Outcome-Based Pricing

You pay a percentage of collections, we only make money when you collect money. No per-claim models that pay out whether the claim is collected or not. Our incentive is directly aligned with your revenue.

90-Day KPI Exit

Written KPI commitments on clean claim rate, days in AR, and net collection rate. Miss in the first 90 days and you can exit without penalty. Consortium models rarely commit to KPIs at this level of specificity.

RevSyn AI Layer

Our AI handles eligibility, denial prediction, ERA auto-posting, and underpayment detection. Human pod members focus on the complex, judgment-heavy claims, not the routine ones.

Security Posture

HIPAA, HITRUST, ISO 27001, unified security governance across our delivery centers in Plano, TX and Noida, India. A consortium of independent billers often has fragmented security posture across members.

Why Continuity Wins

Institutional Knowledge Is Your Revenue Moat

Month 1: Pod Learns Your Practice

Discovery deep-dive on provider documentation styles, top 10 CPT/ICD combinations, payer mix, and historical denial patterns. By week four the pod has a working knowledge base specific to you.

Month 3: KPIs Stabilize

Clean claim rate moving toward 99%, AR days dropping toward 24, denial rate declining as the pod implements upstream prevention for recurring denial codes. Monthly business review confirms KPI commitments met.

Month 6: Compound Returns

The pod's accumulated knowledge pays dividends. Denial categories that plagued your old process are now prevented at the coding stage. Underpayment recovery climbs as the team identifies payer-specific patterns.

Month 12+: Strategic Partner

Quarterly strategy reviews with your named account manager cover fee schedule negotiation opportunities, payer contract renewal prep, new service line billing support, and strategic revenue optimization.

Accountability

One Team, One Number, One Set of KPIs

With MBC's consortium, accountability can diffuse across the network. With Revenue Synergy, you have one account manager, one phone number, and one set of KPIs signed in your contract. When something needs to happen, there's a single point of responsibility.

  • Named account manager in your contract
  • Direct email and phone, no ticket queues
  • Monthly KPI reviews against written commitments
  • Quarterly strategy reviews with the pod lead
  • 90-Day KPI Exit Guarantee in every engagement

Frequently Asked Questions

Medical Billers and Coders (MBC) operates a consortium-style network that aggregates independent billers and coders across specialties. This can provide breadth but often means the resources working your claims are not a fixed team, they change based on availability and workload. For some practices that's acceptable; for others, continuity is worth paying for.
Consistency and compounding knowledge. The same coders, AR analysts, and account manager work your claims every day. They learn your specialty's denials, your payer quirks, and your provider documentation patterns. That context is lost when claims rotate through different resources each week, and in RCM, context is what drives clean claim rate and denial prevention.
Yes. We price at 4-10% of collections, you pay only when we collect. Combined with our 90-Day KPI Exit Guarantee, our financial incentive is directly aligned with your revenue recovery, with no escape from accountability if we underperform. No per-claim models, no retainer models, no fee structures that pay us regardless of results.
22 specialty pods, cardiology, orthopedics, behavioral health, oncology, pain management, gastroenterology, ophthalmology, dermatology, primary care, urgent care, ASC, hospital, radiology, anesthesia, and more. Each pod's coders hold specialty-relevant credentials (CCS, CPC, specialty-specific modifiers) and are actively working claims in that specialty every day.
30-45 days with parallel-run transition. Discovery and data mapping, clearinghouse re-enrollment, parallel-run validation, then cutover with full KPI baselines. Cash flow is protected, we work the legacy AR alongside new claims during transition, so you don't experience a collections gap during the switch.
