Empowering Your Practice: The Expertise and Strengths of the Access1 Business Services Team
In the rapidly evolving landscape of modern healthcare, a medical practice is more than just a place of healing—it is a complex business that requires precision, technology, and strategic oversight to thrive. At Access1 Business Services, we understand that behind every successful physician is a backbone of administrative and financial excellence.
But who are the people making sure your claims are paid, your data is secure, and your providers are credentialed? Today, we’re pulling back the curtain to introduce you to the team and the core strengths that make Access1 a trusted partner for healthcare providers nationwide.
A Foundation of 25+ Years of Industry Excellence
Success in Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) doesn’t happen overnight. It is built through decades of navigating payer shifts, regulatory changes, and technological leaps. Access1 Business Services was founded on a simple but powerful mission: to simplify the business of medicine so providers can focus on their patients.
With over 25 years of experience, our leadership has seen the transition from paper ledgers to sophisticated EHRs and from simple fee-for-service models to complex value-based care like MIPS. This longevity provides our clients with a level of stability and "institutional knowledge" that younger firms simply cannot match.
Meet Our Leadership: Expertise You Can Trust
The strength of Access1 lies in its people. Our leadership team combines deep technical knowledge with a passion for helping practices succeed.
Mike and Kim Holtz: The Founders
Mike and Kim Holtz established Access1 with a commitment to personalized service. Mike’s two decades of experience have been dedicated to helping medical practices reduce claim denials and maximize collections. His philosophy is simple: treat every client’s practice as if it were our own.
Richard Stearns: VP of Business Development
With nearly 20 years of experience in Revenue Cycle Management (RCM), Richard Stearns is a cornerstone of the Access1 leadership team. His career sits at the intersection of healthcare technology and financial operations. Richard has a proven track record of helping organizations navigate the complexities of revenue reimbursement by bridging the gap between sophisticated software and practical financial solutions.
Beyond his strategic role, Richard is deeply committed to mentorship and integrity. His leadership style—influenced by his early career work with strategist Stephen R. Covey—focuses on building genuine human connections and achieving long-term financial success for every client.
Clayton Case: VP of Operations
Clayton Case brings a unique blend of technical innovation and operational strategy to the team. With over 20 years of experience, Clayton is widely recognized as an expert in Raintree Systems and EDI integration. He ensures that the "central nervous system" of our clients' software is perfectly optimized, ensuring smooth workflows from patient intake to final payment.
The Access1 Strengths: What Sets Us Apart?
When you partner with us, you aren't just hiring a billing service; you are gaining a multidisciplinary team of consultants, IT specialists, and RCM experts. Here are the core strengths we bring to the table:
1. Specialized Software Expertise (Raintree & AdvancedMD)
One of our greatest strengths is our deep technical proficiency with industry-leading platforms. We don’t just "use" software; we optimize it. Whether you are utilizing Raintree Systems or AdvancedMD, our team provides expert software support that goes beyond troubleshooting. We help with workflow optimization, staff training, and ensuring your system is configured to capture every dollar of revenue.
2. Comprehensive Credentialing and Compliance
Staying "in-network" and compliant with federal regulations is a full-time job. Our team specializes in Provider Credentialing and Enrollments, handling the mountains of paperwork and follow-ups required to keep your practice running without interruptions. Additionally, our MIPS/MACRA coaching helps you navigate complex reporting requirements to maximize reimbursements and avoid costly penalties.
3. Medical-Grade IT Security
In an era of increasing cyber threats, general IT support isn’t enough. Access1 provides "medical-grade" IT solutions. From automated offsite backups to HIPAA-compliant data protection, our team ensures that your patient records and financial data are shielded from security breaches and data loss.
4. Proactive Accounts Receivable (A/R) Recovery
Many practices leave money on the table because they lack the time to chase old claims. Our A/R assistance team is relentless. We focus on reducing aging accounts and tackling denied claims with a proactive approach that significantly improves cash flow. We don’t just wait for payments; we go get them.
A National Reach with a Personalized Touch
While Access1 Business Services supports medical practices and multi-location clinics across the United States, we pride ourselves on maintaining a "boutique" feel. You aren't just a number in a database; you have direct access to our experts.
Our team’s combined strengths allow us to offer a "one-stop-shop" for the backend of your practice. By integrating billing, credentialing, and IT support, we eliminate the communication gaps that often occur when a practice uses multiple vendors.
Why Our Team is Your Best Asset
The healthcare industry will continue to change. Regulations will evolve, and technology will advance. In this environment, the greatest asset your practice can have is a team that is agile, experienced, and dedicated to your bottom line.
At Access1, our strength is our people. From our founders to our support engineers, every member of our team is focused on one goal: making your practice more profitable and stress-free.
