Our story

Why we started SFA Solutions

We kept seeing the same thing in practice after practice: good providers, full schedules and not enough money in the bank. The care was there. The billing was not keeping up. Claims went out with small errors, denials piled up, and the people meant to fix them were also answering phones and checking patients in.

SFA Solutions was built to take that work off the practice's plate and do it properly. We combine experienced billers and coders with technology that reviews claims against applicable billing, coding and payer-specific rules before submission to help catch preventable errors. The goal is simple: practices should collect what they have earned, with full visibility into how.

Today we work with practices in 28+ specialties across the country, with the deepest experience in nurse practitioner, internal medicine and ophthalmology billing.
