Company Profile


 History and Background

Moyer/Brown L.L.C. ("M/B") represents the amalgamation of the more than 25 years of successful Emergency Medicine systems management and the billing expertise of its two partners, Jack Brown and Vern Moyer. Their experience and background includes Information System management, finance, system and software development, programming, billing, and collecting for EM physicians. Realizing the similarities between the main/primary billing function and the activities of the collection agency function, a number of years ago, Jack and Vern began to explore a TOTAL Emergency Medicine billing solution that includes HCFA compliant CPT-4 and ICD-9 coding, patient invoicing and insurance claims processing (HIPAA compliant), management reporting, accounts receivable management, and back-end collections. The result of those explorations was the formation of Moyer/Brown L.L.C.

Jack Brown, President and founder of B&B Collections, developed a comprehensive Emergency Medicine professional billing system, the PBS3000, which has successfully served a large Northeast regional EM group practice, as well as a multi-hospital EM physician group based in New Jersey. While developing the PBS3000 system, Jack realized the need for a flexible collection agency module to work directly with the primary EM billing function. With the formation of B&B Collections in 1990, the flexible and cohesive "collections" module which Jack created, allowed reimbursement recovery to increase and also permitted the EM physicians' main billing office to concentrate on collecting from third party insurance carriers. B&B Collections, a privately held collections agency with a staff of 50 full and part-time employees, primarily recovers bad debt for EM physicians, but has the capacity, systems, and skill set to perform collection agency services for other medical specialties as well. B&B Collections has enjoyed positive growth each year since it was founded. In his ten-plus years career in Emergency Medicine billing, collections, and information management,

Vern Moyer has had significant experience in designing and maintaining front-end billing systems, the designing, programming and implementation of an integrated system linking EM and Primary Care clinics, development and maintenance of numerous database systems to help study and analyze EM clinical data, as well as designing and implementing systems to manage physician scheduling and related payroll. Vern has been recognized for his ability to seek-out and understand each client's needs and issues, and consistently produces well-crafted, customer-focused solutions for billing and data management needs.



 Billing System Highlights

Using the PBS3000 system as the back bone for Moyer/Brown operations, Jack Brown and Vern Moyer believe they are able to offer a cost effective and flexible billing solution for their physician clients. M/B recognizes that its mission is to support the EM physician clients as they provide quality care to their EM patients, to provide accurate and compliant billing services, and to always operate in a cost effective manner to ensure the financial success of each EM practice.

In addition to being cost-effective, accurate and compliant, the PBS3000 system also provides essential data in the form of Practice Analysis and Market Analysis reports. Because PBS3000 has been developed and is maintained in-house, it will continue to meet the needs of Emergency Physicians, not only in today's market, but it is flexible enough to meet the needs of tomorrow.

Major design criteria used and incorporated in the development of the PBS3000 software:
  • Must be totally adaptable to the practice of Emergency Medicine. As practice patterns change, Emergency Medicine also changes. (For example, procedures that may not have been done in the ED yesterday now may be performed in the ED.) The billing software must allow such changes to be implemented easily and efficiently.
  • Must be flexible enough to allow multiple variations between different states, physician groups, hospitals, third party insurance carriers, and Emergency Physicians.
  • Must encompass all current legislative changes applicable to Emergency Medicine.
  • Must be capable of accepting enhancements to meet changes in future legislation.
  • Must meet the requirements of individual Emergency Physicians and or EM groups. >
  • Must be able to work within and integrate into a clinic or outpatient setting to allow for diverse patient flows.
In addition, the system had to be extremely efficient and timely and cannot be labor intensive.

Moyer/Brown's commitment to, knowledge and understanding of, medical billing as well as collections, will provide EM clients with a firm foundation in which to operate their Emergency Medicine practice not only today, but well into the future.
