In today’s fast-paced healthcare industry, where providers are under constant pressure to balance patient care with administrative demands, medical billing and coding have become some of the most critical yet challenging aspects of practice management. The complexity of insurance regulations, ever-changing reimbursement policies, and increasing scrutiny from payers create an environment where even small mistakes can translate into significant revenue losses. For many practices, this has made outsourcing billing services not just a matter of efficiency but of survival. For more than 30 years, Stat Medical Consulting has been helping providers across the United States navigate these challenges with accuracy, expertise, and a commitment to personalized service. Founded and led by Sharon Hollander, President, the company has grown into a trusted partner for medical practices nationwide by combining decades of industry knowledge with a values-driven approach that prioritizes client success. “Insurance companies are incentivized to delay payments,” Sharon explains. “Our role is to stay ahead of changing regulations and make sure our clients get paid for the care they provide.”

One of the biggest hurdles facing providers today is the ever-evolving landscape of insurance rules. From Medicare issuing new ID numbers without adequate communication to patients, to constantly shifting requirements around modifiers and coding, medical billing demands constant vigilance. Errors in demographic data, outdated insurance information, or even small oversights can lead to claim denials and months of lost revenue. Stat Medical Consulting takes a proactive approach, emphasizing accuracy from the very start. By ensuring claims are submitted correctly, the company helps clients achieve remarkably high first-pass approval rates. This reduces denials and minimizes the costly administrative burden of resubmitting claims.  Sharon points out that many practices simply don’t have the resources to manage this process internally. Staff in busy offices often struggle to keep up with insurance eligibility checks for each patient visit, and the burden grows when appointments are rescheduled. “It becomes too much for practices to manage,” she notes. “That’s why most of them can’t do billing in-house.”

Beyond simply submitting claims, Stat Medical Consulting is dedicated to uncovering new revenue opportunities for its clients. In one recent case, the team discovered that a provider had been overlooking a billable CPT code. By identifying this gap and submitting retroactive claims, the client received an additional $100,000—plus new recurring revenue moving forward. These kinds of results highlight the firm’s dual focus: not only reducing denials but also maximizing income. The company leverages advanced practice management software and one of the largest clearinghouses in the country to achieve more than 95% first-time claim approval. Detailed reporting capabilities allow clients to track productivity, revenue streams, and collections down to the CPT code level, ensuring transparency and actionable insights. Cost efficiency is another clear benefit. While practices that manage billing in-house may see overhead costs of up to 12%, Stat Medical Consulting’s services typically run at 6–7%. This creates an average savings of around 4%—a margin that can make a meaningful difference in a practice’s bottom line. Moreover, Stat Medical Consulting takes pride in its personal approach. Calls are answered by a live person within three rings, reflecting Sharon’s strong belief in customer-first values. “I can’t stand it when you call a company and don’t talk to a live person,” she says. “With us, you always get someone on the phone—and that makes all the difference in billing services.”

Compliance is also built into the foundation of the company’s offerings. HIPAA regulations mandate standardized claims submission, and Stat Medical Consulting ensures that every process, from privacy protocols to clearinghouse integrations, meets these standards. For clients, this means peace of mind as well as efficiency. Despite its old-school values in customer service, Stat Medical Consulting is forward-thinking when it comes to technology. The company uses automation and is actively exploring artificial intelligence to improve efficiency. Patients can access their statements online through portals, and billing processes are increasingly streamlined through digital solutions. Yet Sharon acknowledges that the healthcare sector lags behind in adopting innovation, particularly insurance companies, which remain slow to accept and adapt to electronic claims. Still, she is committed to pushing forward. “We’re always looking for new technological advances,” she said. “It’s about working smarter, not harder.”

Headquartered in Woodland Hills, California, Stat Medical Consulting has a national footprint, serving clients across the United States, including in territories like Guam and Puerto Rico. Growth continues to be fueled by referrals, a testament to the trust and satisfaction the company has built over the decades. Looking ahead, Sharon sees expansion not only in client numbers but also in the scope of services. By staying attuned to the challenges providers face and remaining flexible enough to customize solutions, Stat Medical Consulting is positioned to maintain its leadership in the industry. At its core, the company’s mission is simple yet powerful: to free healthcare providers from the administrative headaches of billing so they can focus on what matters most—caring for patients. And it does so with a rare combination of technological efficiency, financial expertise, and genuine human connection. As Sharon reflects, “We always listen to what the customer needs and wants. Whatever they need is what we provide.”
