Protecting Your Practice’s Bottom Line

Margins are tightening and operating costs are rising across the healthcare industry. In this environment, managing uncollected debt is no longer a bookkeeping issue; it is essential to the solvency of any medical group.

Uncollected revenue affects your ability to retain staff, invest in technology, and uphold patient care standards. While internal efforts are important, outstanding accounts receivable eventually require specialized intervention.

Partnering with a specialized medical collections firm, particularly one with legal expertise, is a strategic necessity for your practice.

Resource Allocation: Let Your Team Focus on Patient Care

Revenue Cycle Management is complex, but your core strength is healthcare, not debt recovery. When administrative staff spend time pursuing delinquent accounts, they are diverted from patient intake, scheduling, and billing accuracy. Most staff also lack the negotiation skills needed for effective debt recovery. Outsourcing to Gilliam & Mikula allows your team to focus on patients and current billing, while we handle aged revenue recovery.

The “Legal Advantage” in Recovery Rate

A collections law firm offers a level of authority that standard agencies cannot provide. As attorneys, we use proven, legally sound methods developed through decades of practice in Virginia.

Escalation

Involving a law firm signals greater seriousness to debtors, often resulting in faster payment without court intervention.

Litigation Capabilities

Should voluntary resolution fail, we do not need to hand the file off to a third party. We have the capability to transition seamlessly from collections to litigation, providing an end-to-end solution for recovery.

Mitigating Risk Through Strict Compliance

Debt collection regulations are complex. Medical practices often unintentionally violate the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act or Virginia-specific rules. As attorneys, we make compliance the foundation of our operations.

Defensible Recordkeeping

We maintain meticulous, confidential records of all interactions. This is not just for organization; it is for legal defense. In the event of a dispute, our documentation provides a clear, audit-ready trail that protects your practice from liability.

Regulatory Knowledge

We stay current on all changes to state and federal collection laws, protecting your practice’s reputation throughout the recovery process.

A Contingency Model that Aligns Our Interests

We understand that you don’t want to throw good money after bad. That is why Gilliam & Mikula operates on a contingency fee basis. We advance the costs of the collection efforts, and we receive payment when we successfully recover funds for you. This structure lessens your financial risk and ensures our goals are perfectly aligned: we are highly motivated to maximize your return because our revenue depends on it.

Secure the Financial Health of Your Practice

In an era where medical debt is ballooning nationwide, your ability to liquidate aged accounts is a key performance indicator for your business’s health. You need a partner who understands not just the “how” of collections, but the legal framework that surrounds it.
