MARLBORO, NJ (PRWEB) MARCH 14, 2006

Dr. Michael Lewko, Chief Medical Officer, Care Management at St. Joseph Hospital in New Jersey, has seen his practice revenue grow by 14%. “The introduction of UBS lockbox is just one example of Billing Depot’s professionalism and continuous attention to billing process improvement,” says Dr. Lewko. “The lockbox reduces dependency on a specific billing office, cuts management overhead, and allows us spend more time with our patients.”

“We are delighted to partner with a first-tier investment bank,” says Pat Freeze, President of Billing Depot. “Billing service accuracy and consistent followup are critical for full and timely collections. An automated investment of patient payments in an interest earning Money Market account adds extra cash to physicians and results in a powerful service when combined with record payment performance.”

“The doctor’s money must never be idle,” explains Robert Szigeti, the UBS Vice President in charge of Personal Wealth Management. “First, the doctor receives improved accountability and reliability with bi-directional verification of check deposit between the bank and Billing Depot. No lost checks. Next, physicians see higher processing speed and added interest revenue with check deposit upon arrival in a Money Market account earning interest. Finally, the doctor receives an added degree of Transparency, which allows personal verification of deposit via secure Internet connection.”
