Nonprofit Outpatient Clinics and Social Service Agencies Outsource Billing to
Increase Profits

NEW YORK, May 19 /PRNewswire/ -- First, New York State nonprofit outpatient
clinics and social service agencies were hit by ever-changing Medicaid,
Medicaid managed care, Medicare, and insurance billing regulations.  Today, a
recession affects even the healthiest organization.  Millin Associates
(www.millinmedical.com), a medical billing and consulting leader for 27 years,
provides expanded services and next-generation software empowering
organizations to better receive payments and minimize denied claims.

Several years ago (in better economic times) outpatient clinics and social
service agencies were already inundated with excessive paperwork and denied
claims.  Today, with the horrific economy, many clinics operate in the red. 
Millin's services and cutting-edge software provides hope: they are
affordable, and provide a more cost-effective solution than in-house billing. 
Furthermore, Millin helps others better reallocate staff. 

Millin enters facilities to retrieve lost revenue from previous denials, done
strictly on contingency.  They set up clients, then research, correct and
re-bill all denials.  Millin can research/process 100,000+ claims
simultaneously, making capacity a non-issue.   After, Millin can take billing
on an ongoing basis, catering to the facility's needs.

Many clinics and agencies are hesitant to outsource billing functions because
they are already losing money.  Millin provides a highly-trained IT
department, which can come into any work environment, work from any existing
database, and relieve overburdened clinics (which may or may not have an IT
department).  Millin's software provides execs with detailed reports,
analyzing the source of denials, plus quarterly financial, cost, and fiscal
reports.  This critical feature allows decision-makers to analyze in-house
processes, and improve inefficiencies.

Millin serves Mental Health Facilities (Article 31), Primary Care Facilities
(Article 28), Federally Qualified Health Centers, Substance Abuse Facilities
(822, Methadone Treatment Centers), OMRDD Facilities, and Foster Care
Agencies.  Millin is a member of HFMA, CHCANYS, The Coalition of Voluntary
Mental Health Agencies, Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Providers of NYS, and
other accredited organizations.

Millin leads the medical billing industry -- offering a hands-on,
service-oriented approach, turning denials into revenue.  Clinics recover more
lost revenue, aiding sustainability.  Millin's process is simple whether
entities outsource all functions, or use Millin as project-basis, 'safety
net.' 

Millin's CEO Sol Weiss is optimistic.  "Our question to New York State
providers is, "If you're losing money -- or your resources are already drained
-- why not see how we can help?  You can't lose with our contingency-based
recovery services."
