Medical billing services for independent practices

Taiga handles coding, claims, and appeals end to end. We draft ICD-10 and CPT codes from your clinical notes for your physician's approval, submit every claim, fight every denial through to resolution, and handle patient statements and follow-up. You treat patients, we get you paid.

What our medical billing service includes

Taiga is an AI platform run by an experienced billing team. Your physicians stay in the loop on coding through a quick approval step. We handle every other revenue cycle task end to end.

Coding drafted from your notes

We draft ICD-10 and CPT codes from your clinical documentation using current payer rules, with a confidence score on every suggestion. Your physician reviews, edits if needed, and approves before anything is submitted.

Claim submission

Every claim is checked against current payer rules before it goes out. Eligibility is verified in real time, modifiers and authorizations are checked, and fee schedules are validated.

Denials and appeals

Taiga drafts, submits, and tracks an appeal on every denial until it resolves, so a $40 denial gets fought as systematically as a $4,000 one. Most soft denials are corrected and resubmitted within 48 to 72 hours of the remittance hitting our system. Hard denials enter the appeal queue the same day.

Patient statements and follow-up

Clear statements, automated follow-up, and responsive patient support. Front desks stop fielding billing escalations.

Reporting you can open any time

Your dashboard shows live collections, denials, days in A/R, and payer performance. Drill into any claim and pull reports for your accountant or partners without asking us.

How getting started works

A change in billing partner should not mean a change in how your clinic runs.

1. Tell us about your practice

Bring your provider count, payer mix, and EHR. Taiga will show where its work begins, and if your specialty is not yet supported, our team will tell you straight.

2. An annual contract

Taiga runs on annual contracts, so the team can work denials and aged A/R with continuity. Every practice gets a named account manager.

3. Implementation

Taiga's implementation team handles the EHR connection, payer enrollment, and historical data migration without pulling staff off patient care.

4. First claim in two weeks

Two weeks from contract to first claim submitted under Taiga. Clinicians keep charting in the EHR they use today, and the front desk does not get a new portal.

5. Claims already in flight

Taiga can run in parallel for a transition period or take over open A/R from your current biller, depending on what your contract allows.

What changes for your practice when you outsource medical billing

Outsourcing medical billing means a billing partner takes over the claim work that you or your staff cover today. With Taiga, this is what moves and what stays.

What you hand off

  • Drafting ICD-10 and CPT codes from clinical notes
  • Checking and submitting every claim
  • Working every denial and appeal through to resolution
  • Patient statements, reminders, and billing calls
  • EHR connection, payer enrollment, and data migration during onboarding

What you keep

  • Approval of every code. Taiga never submits anything without physician sign-off.
  • Your EHR and the way your clinicians chart today
  • Your front desk routine, with no new portal
  • A live view of collections, denials, days in A/R, and payer performance
  • A named account manager and a direct line to the billing operations team

How pricing works

One rate, set by your practice's annual revenue, meaning the top line before expenses.

A percentage of what we collect

Taiga charges a share of what we collect for you, and the share gets smaller as your practice grows.

The rate

6.5% up to $2M in annual revenue, then sliding down toward 4% as you approach $10M. Practices at $10M and up get a custom rate.

No extra fees

No setup fees, no per-claim charges, no surprise add-ons. If we do not collect, you do not pay.

  • Primary care, internal medicine, pediatrics, cardiology, orthopedics, and mental health

Scope note

  • Groups above ten providers get a custom scope.
  • Taiga does not serve hospital-owned practices or large health systems.
  • For other specialties, bring your service mix and Taiga will tell you straight.

How to choose a medical billing company

Whoever you talk to, these questions show how a billing company works day to day and what you will be paying for.

What does the rate include?

Ask whether coding, claim submission, denial appeals, and patient statements are all covered, or billed separately. Ask about setup fees, per-claim charges, and add-ons.

Who approves the codes?

Ask whether your physicians see and approve codes before claims go out, and whether they can change a code they disagree with.

Which denials get worked?

Ask whether every denial is appealed, including small-dollar claims, and how you will see where each one stands.

What changes for our staff?

Ask how the company connects to the EHR you use today, and whether clinicians or the front desk will need new software.

What will we be able to see?

Ask for direct access to collections, denials, days in A/R, and payer performance.

How is patient data protected?

Billing companies that handle patient information are business associates under HIPAA. Ask for a signed business associate agreement before any data changes hands.

Who do we call, and what happens when we switch?

Ask whether you get a named contact, how long onboarding takes, and how claims already in flight are handled during the handoff.
