About KLA
Our Credentials
KLA is an 'old timer' in the physician billing industry. Starting as a firm of certified public accountants, we have been doing physician billing for over 15 years now.
KLA and its staff hold multiple professional certifications. We are members of HBMA (Healthcare Biller Management Association) and our staff's credentials include: CISs (Certified Insurance Specialists), CPCs (Certified Professional Coders), and CMOMs (Certified Medical Office Managers). We also have professionals with more established certifications such as CPAs (Certified Public Accountants) and JDs (Juris Doctorates - doctors of law).
KLA Healthcare Consultants are proud members in good standing with the HMBA - the Healthcare Billing and Management Association. Since they were founded in 1993, HBMA has been the only trade association to represent third party medical billers and consultants. The ever-changing landscape of the medical billing field, in constant motion due to the fluctuations caused by the never-ending changes in Medicare, Medicaid, and private health insurance legislation and regulations in general, makes it imperative that third party billing companies remain visible in Washington, DC.
The HBMA - created to work with the government by educating Congress and the Administration on topics affecting third-party billers - is therefore deeply involved in the legislative and regulatory issues that affect physicians, Medicare, Medicaid and the entire managed care industry. As a result, KLA is always well informed on these matters, which means we can assure you that your claims are consistently filed in full compliance with the most current legal guidelines and information available!

Your Benefits
We offer many unique advantages and benefits to our clients that other healthcare consultants cannot. One of those advantages is our office manager, who is a former insurance company manager. This means that he is well versed on the inside workings of an insurance company and can often cut through the red tape to get your claims paid, which allows us to process even problematical claims in an expedient manner.
Extensively customized reporting is another benefit you will enjoy as our client, courtesy of our proprietary software program. Being written expressly for KLA by our professional computer programmer in a relational database used by NASA, our exclusive software eliminates the constrictive prepackaged parameters found in most programs which means that we can create reports for you to your exact specifications.
The flexibility of our software also allows us to rapidly update computer applications to reflect the frequent changes in governmental electronic compliance, which guarantees you that all of your claims will be processed correctly with the most up to date information available. And with a professional computer programmer on board full time, KLA processes your claims in a high tech environment with a minimum of time-consuming computer-related complications.
Despite the sophistication of the relational database we use, information can be readily downloaded into more familiar Windows based programs for your analysis. Your data can also be provided in Excel Pivot Table format if you wish.
Your KLA Guarantee
Although none of our satisfied clients have taken advantage of this guarantee, we continue to offer it as a form of reassurance for our new clients.
KLA is unique in that we want to give our clients complete freedom to leave, if they are unhappy with our services in any way, so our contracts all have a thirty day cancellation clause. We only ask that we be given the option to collect on the claims we have already filed for up to ninety days after termination.
Our Bottom Line
A medical billing company only makes sense if it increases your bottom line. Our clients have found that - within months of beginning our service - their income is higher, their expenses lower and their patients are more satisfied with the accuracy of our billing and collection process.
Best of all, as a physician, you will no longer have to oversee the performance of your billing staff. Therefore you will need fewer employees to manage your practice - and you will be able to spend more time doing what you do best ... caring for your patients.
KLA Healthcare Consultants is centrally located in Memphis, Tennessee. We use Federal Express to courier information to and from our clients located outside the Mid-South region. And since Fed Ex's home office is located here in Memphis, it is the shipping capital of the United States, so no matter where your practice is located, our communications will be swiftly delivered to you.
We look forward to meeting you and discussing your specific needs - and hope to have the opportunity to become your healthcare management specialists.
