OUR HISTORY

American Billing Service^® was originally organized in 1989 to provide a specialty service only for physicians who were beginning practice in the newly emerging field of rehabilitation, who were otherwise known as “physiatrists” or medical doctors certified as specialists in PM&R. Because of the expertise and diligence of our staff in this emerging field throughout the 1990’s, the company quickly became known as the leading source for reliable, accurate PM&R related reimbursement.

In 1999, America’s premier rehabilitation hospital — as designated by the annual survey conducted by US News and World Report—selected American Billing Service^® to provide physician billing management for its physician staff of over 400 providers. Because of the complexity of the rehab program, its physician staff included virtually every major medical specialty in the United States.

As an outgrowth of that experience, the American Billing Service^® gradually extended its service program and reimbursement expertise to include specialists from other fields of medicine, including cardiologists, orthopedists, neurologists, obstetrics, gastroenterologists, and others.

In the last five years, ABS has processed hundreds of millions of dollars in physician claims. As the audited cumulative collection reports reflect, we have delivered a clearance rate of 99%.
