Hello and Welcome

 

I would like to thank you for visiting our New Provider page and I am happy to provide you with some additional information about My AK Billing and the services we offer.

 

My name is Emily Pasternak and I am the Owner and Founder of My AK Billing. I have been billing for midwives now for two years and have completed the AAPC Certified Professional Biller course. This course involves mastering medical billing and coding on both a national and local level. I will be sitting for the written exam in the state of Washington to become a CPB. I am a strong believer in continued education and in the world of medical billing where the rules and guidelines are ever changing, I plan on completing further education in the field of medical billing and specializing in midwifery practices as well as supporting my employees and team in doing the same. My husband and I had our babies with midwives and plan to have midwives attend our future births due to the exceptional quality of care we have received; allowing me to understand the importance of personalized customer service expected from a billing service that represents its midwives.

 

My AK Billing, LLC is a locally owned and operated medical billing services tailored to midwives in our area. We do utilize the electronic clearinghouse CollaborateMD to create claims, generate A/R, patient, and earnings reports as well as send client statements, process credit cards, utilize online payment portals, ensure clean claim scrubbing and level II claim edits and more. I believe My AK Billing’s fees to be reasonable for the services we provide and the software required to help facilitate our responsibilities as a medical billing service.

 

Why Choose My AK Billing as your Medical Billing Associate?

• Saves the Provider valuable time.

  • The average Alaskan midwife performs 16-30 clinical visits per month when attending 2-3 births in the same time. Filing claims, updating payer agreements and fee schedules, verifying benefits, applying for network exceptions, contracting for in network rates, handling claim denials, applying payments, following up with insurances for claim status, sending patient statements, all require valuable time otherwise spent taking care of what really matters, your clients. Without a designated medical biller, the provider can spend 600+ hours a year billing for themselves.
