You're IT Med Bills Assist!

Four questions with Katalin Goencz, founder of Med Bills Assist.

Why did you start your business?

There was a significant need for services. Medical insurance exists for the purpose of providing financial support for medical care in the case of illness or injury. It is simply common sense to have your insurance pay those medical bills. However, the medical insurance world is complicated and a simple coding error, or insurance processing error, could result in denial or underpayment. It can become a significant debt, a collection nuisance, and a major hit on your credit rating. The good news is that you found MedBillsAssist; your patient advocate.

Finish this sentence in regard to your business. "I wish I could…"

I wish I could provide services for free. It is frustrating to be sick and fight insurance companies at the same time. Most people do not have the time or the expertise to coordinate with doctors, hospitals, and laboratories, and then follow up with medical insurance companies, prescription insurances and/or Medicare. That is where we come in. We can keep your medical claims in order. 

What is your best selling product/service?

All my services are well received. Medical claims management and appeal filing is the most commonly used service.

How many local businesses do you use to support your business (products and services) and can you name them?

We use the UPS store, High Ridge Road location.
