Proud Moments ABA, a respected behavioral health organization for children on the autism spectrum, faced an uphill battle: building a large revenue cycle team from the ground up. This new team was necessary to manage significant growth, both organic and from acquisitions, which resulted in a stark increase in the volume of claims for their back office to manage. To win the battle, the agency partnered with Medix, which quickly sourced dozens of uniquely qualified candidates and accelerated hiring efforts.

The Challenge
Proud Moments ABA lacked a revenue cycle team and was not able to effectively scale to meet the growth of the company. They needed to build a full-cycle department that could maximize patient service revenue from insurance and funding sources. They struggled to find enough quality candidates through their own efforts, and open positions became more urgent as claims continued to grow.

Proud Moments ABA partnered with Medix, a leading clinical healthcare and revenue cycle staffing company with specialized recruiters, to find, screen, and hire quality revenue cycle candidates with flexible employment models.
The strategic partnership relied on a number of Medix’s unique solutions and benefits, including:
