From Billing Chaos to Predictable Payments: A Real Client Turnaround Story
“Our claims were a disaster. Now they’re clean, paid, and on time — every month.”
— Clinic Director, Los Angeles, CA
When the clinic director of a busy Los Angeles mental health IOP reached out to Pivotal Billing Solutions, she didn’t sugarcoat it:
“Our billing is a disaster. I don’t even know where the money’s going.”
Sound familiar?
The Problem: A Revenue System in Shambles
Her clinic was thriving clinically — full groups, great staff, consistent referrals — but the billing backend was a mess:
100+ claims stuck in A/R limbo
Frequent denials with no feedback or resolution
Documentation inconsistencies causing payer pushback
No transparency or communication from their billing provider
“I felt like I was bleeding cash and no one could tell me where the wound was.”

Phase 3: The Maintenance

The Results

“I sleep at night now. I don’t dread opening our EMR. That’s priceless.”
