We support over 900 collectors and billers from onshore to offshore. The collector/billers send us requests via a task system and place their requested documents on a shared space. Support opens the account in the task system, reviews request, opens documents, completes HIPAA, and prints the documents to a shared printer or large volume printer. The request includes printing UB04’s and 1500’s on a red and white form, as well as Medi-Cal CIF, LTC, and appeal forms.

The team member prepares the document(s), completes the task via the system, and mails the documents. An electronic form of certified mail is used when applicable.
