How it works
01
Step One
Free Revenue Audit
We review your current billing, credentialing status, and payer contracts to identify exactly where you're losing revenue and why.
02
Step Two
Custom Strategy Built
We build a credentialing roadmap, billing workflow, and compliance plan specific to your practice size, specialty, and payer mix.
03
Step Three
Ongoing Revenue Control
We manage your full revenue cycle — claims, denials, credentialing renewals, and compliance — so you stay focused on clinical care.
What practice owners say
"
Before Medical Elite, we were waiting 4 months to get credentialed with Peach State. They got us active in 3 weeks. That alone changed our cash flow completely.
TJ
T. Johnson, BCBAABA Clinic Director, Atlanta, GA
"
I didn't know I had a credentialing gap with two of my payers until Medical Elite audited us. We recovered months of revenue we didn't even know we were owed.
MR
M. Reynolds, BCBA-DGroup Practice Owner, Georgia
"
Every billing company I tried before just submitted claims. Medical Elite actually explained why we were getting denied and fixed the root cause. Night and day difference.

Common questions
Yes. We specialize in Georgia Medicaid managed care, including Amerigroup, Peach State Health, and WellCare. We understand the specific credentialing requirements, prior authorization workflows, and billing rules for each plan — and we manage all of it for you.
Our average credentialing turnaround is 21 days. Most billing companies don't touch credentialing at all — they wait for you to be credentialed before they start billing. We manage the entire process so there is no gap in your revenue.
We offer transparent, performance-aligned pricing based on your practice size and service needs. We discuss fees directly during your free strategy session — no hidden costs, no long-term lock-in contracts.
No. We work within your existing EHR and practice management platforms including CentralReach, Rethink, Noteable, and others. We integrate with your current workflow — we don't disrupt it.
Most billing companies only handle claims submission. They don't manage your credentialing, audit your payer contracts, or advise on compliance. If your denial rate is above 10%, your credentialing has any gaps, or you've never had a revenue audit — you're leaving money on the table. Our free audit will show you exactly how much.
You don't have a billing problem. You have a revenue ownership problem.
You've outsourced your claims without retaining control of your credentialing, your payer relationships, or your compliance posture. That's where revenue actually lives. Medical Elite brings all three together.
