How Our Clients Feel About Us

We hired Park Medical back in March of this year, and from the moment they came in to do a demo we were impressed. Our last biller did not meet expectations at all, but Chol and Monica came in to meet with us and were both professional and personable. Everything they promised, they have delivered.
Seven months later, we are still very impressed. Sheila, our account manager, has been absolutely exceptional. Their customer service is top tier—they increased our revenue, bill in a timely manner, and answer every question no matter how big or small. They even provide support in ways we didn’t think to ask for.

Chol and his team (shout out to Kristiana, Monica, and Kristen) have been more accommodating than I can express in our billing transition. He has patiently walked us through the process and been available for our many questions and with full explanations since the beginning.
Everyone in his office is friendly and professional, and more importantly, they mean business about helping our business make money. I am amazed at the detail with which his system is able to parse billing and collections in order to help us get an accurate handle on our facilities’ finances. We feel like we acquired another team member in Park Medical Billing

Chol and staff have been nothing short of excellent since they took over our billing services. They process claims quickly, follow up on unpaid claims and use their scrubbing software to ensure that claims are correct and have modifiers if needed so we get paid faster.

I am the owner of ABC Physical Therapy in Somerville NJ and I hired Park Medical in 2016 because I was having a disaster with the other billing company I had been using since Jan 2014. Since hiring Park Medical I have been able to sleep at night knowing everything is running smoothly now.
They do everything from A to Z and if I ever have a billing problem they always find a way to resolve the issue and get me back on my feet.
ABC Physical Therapy participates with almost all the insurance plans and because of this we are always messed up with authorizations or time lapses in authorizations because the insurance company issues them late to us and with Park Medical they are so SMART that they look at the issue’s then come up with a SOLUTION to fix the problem and get things running smoothly again so I can go back to work without worrying about billing problems.
I HIGHLY recommend this EXCELLENT company because they not only take care of your billing but they come up with SOLUTIONS to make things easier for you so the insurance companies do NOT drive you out of business with there diversionary tactics. I give them 5 stars. 🙂

As the owner and Clinical Director, I was extremely impressed with the level of commitment to have the staff from PMB not only listen to my concerns and questions, but to promptly and quickly respond and resolve.
The other component of their services, is their desire to share ideas and possibilities to improve my overall revenue. I would recommend the services of PMB and their staff, without ANY RESERVATIONS!!!!

I am writing in reference to Park Medical Billing Company. Early this year, TOPS Physical Therapy and Osteopractics, decided to change from in house billing to a billing company.
We interviewed several companies and made the decision to hire Park Medical Billing. We are very happy that we chose this company. From the beginning, Park Medical Billing Company was very informative, gave a comprehensive presentation, answered many of our questions before we had to ask them.
They are timely, follow through with commitments made and very accessible. We had to communicate quite often during our transition. The line of communication was always professional and never rushed. We are very happy with Park Medical Billing Company and I would definitely recommend them to you.
