MBC guides Family Medicine Practitioners to effectively tackle the ACA impact!

The ACO impact on Family practice billing and coding  

The impact Accountable Care Organizations (ACO) will have on these practices explains the reason behind increased number of Family practices currently rushing to MBC for their billing solutions.

Though the ACO environment may benefit these practices by promoting primary care hence making it accessible and improving provider reimbursements; it also brings with it many changes as it prompts federal and commercial payers to change the way they make payments.
