Medical Billing and Operational Assessments

Medical practices on the average lose 20% of their revenue to inefficient billing and collection practices.  Are you one of those practices?  Over the past 20 years, Dopkins Medical Solutions, LLC has helped many of those practices eliminate that loss.  Our Practice Management Consulting group utilizes a practice performance assessment as an integral tool in the evaluation of your practice processes including front desk, registration, data entry, coding, payment posting, claims processing and accounts receivable management.  The results of this assessment will provide your organization with improved practice processes, increased revenue, decreased accounts receivable and an improved cash flow.

In some cases, the result of the assessment indicates outsourcing the billing process as the most cost-effective and revenue generating conclusion.  Dopkins Medical Solutions, LLC in those cases is prepared to offer our Medical Billing and Accounts Receivable Management services as an affordable solution.  Using a state-of-the-art information system, certified coders and a team-based approach to manage the complexities of the ever-changing health care industry, you can focus your attention on the practice of medicine while we manage your accounts receivable.

Tax Preparation & Planning

Put a team of tax professionals on your side year-round!

As a physician group practice, quality tax planning and preparation are essential to your financial strength.

At Dopkins, we believe it’s essential to gain a thorough understanding of your company’s operations, tax elections and methods—not only to prepare an accurate, complete set of returns, but also to find the most effective means to save additional tax dollars and meet your financial objectives.
From implementing tax-saving strategies and reviewing new legislation to evaluating current elections and amending returns, our staff works tirelessly throughout the entire year to find the most effective ways to save your tax dollars and keep more of your hard-earned profit. Your tax team will provide ongoing assistance throughout the year, not just during the year-end procedures.

Our more than 25 tax professionals include specialists who are proactive, strategic thinkers who work to maximize your cash flow. In addition to cash flow considerations, we also believe that tax planning is most effective when it is integrated with, and fully supports, your business plan and personal goals.
