Why does ACS get paid directly instead of the rendering physician?
One of the value added services we offer our providers is collections. Our contract assigns ACS the obligation to pursue collection activities on the participating providers behalf. ACS is in a unique position to provide customer service support for our providers. We are in daily contact with the approximately 600 payors that do business with ACS. We pay our providers promptly with a single check that represents their payments from a multitude of ACS clients and their patient transactions. We simplify their business by becoming one point of contact to follow up and resolve claim issues on their behalf.
