Bern has analyzed millions of dollars worth of revenue across the country. Here are some stories.

Misty Walker from Code Collect and Bill Halligan of Bern Medical. 

Bern Medical was born when a radiology group was having problems with their billing in the Northwest; they needed to run a reconciliation of all the procedures performed over the past 18 months to what had actually been billed to the insurance companies. $2,000,000 was recovered in the first analysis. After the clinic had moved to a very popular 3rd party billing company, the analysis was performed again one year later and found an additional $200,000. This clinic benefited from the analysis even after engaging a respected billing company. 

Recently Bern Medical analyzed the billing data for a company with 12 different MRI locations in the Midwest. The client uses a very popular and well respected billing company. Bern performed its analysis for the past 12 months, from January 2011 to December 2011. Bern discovered a very effective process but that the billing company had missed charges on particular days and then continued capturing all charges again. For example, for 3 days March 3, April 13 and October 6, 2011 nearly 150 MRI exams were never billed spanning across all locations. For all 12 months Bern discovered and verified 1% of annual volume was never billed. The client then processed through normal billing channels the missed charges. Bern's analysis allowed the MRI center to collect on $140k ($300k gross) of missed revenue opportunities.

Bern Medical analyzed a Southeast stand-alone diagnostic imaging center with 14 locations. Bern performed the analysis on one of the customer's locations for their PACS & Billing data. After several iterations of working with this customer's data, there were not charges that could be recovered.

True to our word, Bern Medical spent several weeks of analyzing their data and did not charge 1 penny to this customer because the customer collected $0. They were so happy that they now want us to analyze their other US locations, as well as introduced Bern to additional providers.
