  NEW YORK, NY, Feb 19 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
First, NY State hospitals were confronted by complicated, ever-changing
Medicaid and Medicare billing regulations -- yielding administrative
headaches and denied claims. Recently, something far worse occurred: the
release of NY State's Berger Commission. In 2005, The Commission mandated
closure of nine hospitals statewide, and the conversion, affiliation, or
reconfiguration of 48 others. In all, 25% of NY State hospitals were
affected, with more looming. Unfortunately, Medicaid, Medicare and
commercial insurance carriers have been denying more and more claims --
leaving hospitals to rely on taxpayer dollars. Meanwhile, the Commission
is trying to close additional struggling hospitals. To combat this,
Millin Associates (www.millinmedical.com), a medical billing field leader
for 27+ years is helping small and large hospitals with new expanded
services and software empowering hospitals to receive payments and
minimize denied claims.

    Millin offers its services strictly by contingency. Millin first sets up
the client with all needed information required for the re-billing and
recovery project. Millin then obtains all claims, performs research and
analysis, corrects all denied claims and re-bills them in order to turn
denials into payments. Millin can analyze and process 100,000+ claims
simultaneously. Capacity -- always a pitfall for hospitals -- is now a
non-issue. Millin is recommended by leading accounting/law firms, and
independent auditors.

    Millin's services are available to a wide spectrum of healthcare providers
including hospitals, Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHC), primary
care centers (Article 28), ambulatory surgery centers, dialysis centers,
mental health facilities (Article 31), substance abuse facilities (822,
methadone treatment centers), OMRDD facilities, and foster care agencies.
Millin is a member organization of HFMA, HANYS, CHCANYS, MGMA, The
Coalition of Voluntary Mental Health Agencies, Alcoholism and Substance
Abuse Providers of NY State, and other accredited organizations.

    Unlike others, Millin delivers a hands-on, service-oriented approach,
ensuring all denied claims are researched, corrected and resubmitted
properly--which results in an immediate revenue increase.

    Steve Unger, director of business development, said, "Our seamless
services have always been a powerful tool for hospitals and clinics." CEO
Sol Weiss is equally optimistic and credits Millin's highly experienced
and dedicated staff for the tremendous recovery success rate. "Our
question is, 'If your hospital or facility is in New York State and
you're losing money -- or threatened by the Berger Commission -- why not
call Millin Associates and see what they can do for you?'"
