Throughout 2010 MBA Medical Business Associates has directed a significant amount of their focus and capital on an effort to improve the billing efficiency and availability of information to anesthesiologists and other providers practicing in a hospital setting. MBA’s goal has been to use technology to improve the exchange of information between hospital-based providers and their business office. Isolation from the billing and business operations of their practice has historically been a source of inefficiency, financial strain, and additional risk for physicians who spend most of their time in the hospital.

According to MBA President Michele Andersen, “Because they spend the majority of their workday in the hospital, with limited access to the billing and business operations of their practice, anesthesiologists and other hospital-based providers typically have to invest more time and effort to assure their services are being billed properly and that they are getting paid for every service they provide. In addition, there is often a redundancy in paperwork and data entry, which not only reduces efficiency, but also increases the risk of billing errors.”
