In the high-stakes healthcare landscape of Texas—from the world-renowned Texas Medical Center in Houston to the rapidly expanding medical hubs of Dallas and Austin—providers are facing a quiet crisis of unpaid balances. As systems like Baylor Scott & White and Memorial Hermann consolidate, independent clinics and specialty practices are left to bridge a growing “Patient-Responsibility Gap” created by high-deductible plans. These financial leaks don’t just hurt your bottom line; they drain staff morale and compromise the administrative health of your entire practice.

We provide free litigation and bankruptcy scrubs with zero onboarding or annual fees. Our SOC 2 Type II and HIPAA-compliant systems ensure total data security, backed by a 4.85/5 rating from over 2,000 professional reviews. Delivering high recovery rates!

Revenue Recovery Pricing Designed for Texas Scale
We believe in transparent, results-driven partnerships that prioritize your cash flow without the typical overhead of a traditional collection agency. Our Current fee structures are built for speed:
-
The $15 Fixed-Fee Solution: You retain 100% of the recovered balance. This is the ultimate “Account Reconciliation” tool for early-stage accounts that simply need a professional nudge.
-
The 40% Contingency Model: For older or more complex balances, we work on a performance basis. If there is no recovery, there is no fee.
The CPA Edge:
A Net-Zero Cost Strategy Many of our Texas partners find that the $15 fixed-fee service essentially pays for itself. In the Current tax environment, these fees are commonly categorized as a deductible business expense when used in the normal course of revenue cycle management. After a quick consultation with your CPA, you may find that professional recovery becomes a tax-neutral investment in your practice’s stability.
The Clinical Philosophy of Account Reconciliation
The Patient-Responsibility Gap
Modern billing is no longer just about insurance processing; it is about managing the “Patient-Responsibility Gap.” With the rise of high-deductible health plans (HDHPs) across the Lone Star State, patients are often hit with unexpected costs that they aren’t prepared to pay. These balances aren’t usually a sign of refusal, but of confusion. We step in as an extension of your office to provide the clarity needed to resolve these accounts.
Peace of Office: Defeating Staff Burnout
When your front desk staff is forced to double as a collection department, productivity and morale plummet. Your team was hired for clinical empathy, not to manage financial friction. Outsourcing these uncomfortable conversations to our Account Reconciliation Team allows your staff to return to their core work, significantly reducing burnout and improving the patient experience in the waiting room.
The Respectful Friction Model
We protect your hard-earned 5-star reputation on Google and Healthgrades through “Respectful Friction.” By working with patients to find solutions rather than arguing against them, we secure payments while keeping the patient-provider relationship intact. This diplomatic approach ensures full HIPAA compliance and prevents the “review-bombing” that can occur with aggressive tactics.
Bilingual Outreach for a Diverse Texas
Texas is a multicultural powerhouse, and communication is key to recovery. Our Spanish-speaking collectors provide an inclusive experience that removes linguistic barriers, leading to faster resolutions and higher satisfaction for your entire patient population.

Regulatory Landscape & The No Surprises Act
Navigating recovery in Texas requires strict adherence to both federal and state mandates. We ensure 100% compliance with the Texas Debt Collection Act (TDCA) and federal FDCPA/HIPAA privacy rules. Crucially, our Account Reconciliation Team is trained on the No Surprises Act, ensuring that patient billing for out-of-network services and emergency care is handled with the required disclosures and transparency. This protectively manages patient expectations and prevents the legal pitfalls that can arise from “surprise” billing disputes, providing a secure reputation firewall for your practice.
Healthcare-Focused FAQs
How do you handle a patient who claims they can’t pay?
We move from a mindset of “collecting” to “reconciling.” By identifying financial hardships early and offering structured payment pathways, we often secure a steady stream of revenue rather than a total loss.
Will my practice be notified if an account is settled?
Absolutely. Transparency is a pillar of our partnership. You will receive Current updates on all account resolutions, and since our $15 fixed-fee model allows you to keep 100% of the funds, your ledger stays clean.
