Find Services Built for Your Specialty

Most of our clients fall into one of two categories. Find yours below and we will show you exactly how we can help.

MENTAL HEALTH PROVIDERS

LMHCs, LPCs, LCSWs, PMHNPs and More

Credentialing, billing infrastructure, platform exits from Headway and Alma, and insurance system setup designed specifically for mental health practices.

REHAB PROVIDERS

OTs, PTs, SLPs, Chiropractors and More

Operational systems, credentialing, workflow optimization, and revenue infrastructure built for the specific billing demands of rehab and therapy practices.

EXITING PLATFORMS

Outgrowing Alma, Headway, Grow, or Rula?

Leaving a platform doesn't have to mean losing your caseload. Most providers stay longer than they need to because the exit feels too risky to plan alone. We help you build a transition that protects your revenue while you move toward direct billing on your own terms.

Healthcare practice owner testimonial about medical billing services

Google

Danielle has been an absolute asset to our practice. She’s efficient, knowledgeable, and always on top of our billing. She makes the insurance side of our business far less stressful, which allows us to focus on client care.

M

Client review for healthcare administration and credentialing support

Google

I can’t recommend Danielle highly enough. I started my out-of-network occupational therapy practice in February 2025 with the goal of making my services accessible while prioritizing true one-on-one care. I hired Danielle in May to help with eligibility and out-of-network, Workers’ Compensation, and Medicare billing, and the results have been incredible.

Since working together, I’ve tripled my income and can fully focus on patient care. Our monthly meetings help me grow the business while staying compliant, and Danielle is both incredibly encouraging and flexible, allowing me to pay for the services I need and manage the rest myself.

If you need support with medical billing or eligibility, I highly recommend Upstate Healthcare Administration.
