Michael Merriam
Billing & Compliance Consultant
My passion is for helping therapists navigate the complicated and frustrating billing process, so they can get back to doing what they love: caring for their clients.
As the Billing & Compliance Consultant, I am available as a resource to answer your questions surrounding medical billing, medical coding, contracting with insurance panels, credentialing providers, and adding providers to a group's existing contracts. A fully qualified medical biller and coder for a decade, I currently work with a medical billing company overseeing their State Programs Department. I am a member in good standing of The American Medical Billers Association (AMBA) and The Medical Association of Billers (MAB), and am also a certified HIPAA Compliance professional able to advise our team on privacy matters.
I am always happy to meet with and assist providers at Iridescent Care Collaborative as needed!
Assurety Healthcare Consulting
In addition to supporting Iridescent and its providers, I am proud to offer my expertise to the greater mental health community through my business, Assurety Healthcare Consulting. I fully believe that as a behavioral health provider, your time should be spent with your patients — not on hold with insurance companies or decoding the ever-shifting state compliance rules. That’s where I come in.
