Direct Billing Services

We are Direct Billing Services (DBS), a physician-driven medical and mental health billing company founded in 1999 and proudly based in Birmingham, Alabama. We have built our reputation on delivering tailored, dependable revenue cycle management solutions to private practices across a broad spectrum of specialties. As a privately owned company, we answer only to our clients, not shareholders. Our approach combines deep billing expertise with next-generation web-based billing and EHR tools to ensure practices achieve maximum efficiency and collections.
What services we offer
We provide comprehensive medical and mental health billing services powered by a flexible, web-based system. Our services include complete claims processing, from charge entry and coding to claims scrubbing, submission, EOB posting, and payer follow-up. We offer certified coding (ICD-10, CPT) to reduce denials and boost reimbursement. When claims are denied, we conduct thorough appeals and implement solutions to prevent future issues. We also handle provider credentialing, using CAQH enrollment and top-payer enrollment, and support scheduling, EHR management, and patient chart documentation. Our system is Meaningful Use certified, ICD-10 ready, and includes features like e-prescribing, dashboards, document management tools, and physician workflow support.
Who We Serve
We serve a wide variety of healthcare practices, including urgent care, family/general practice, chiropractic, physical therapy, ENT, ophthalmology, anesthesiology, plastic surgery, neurology, pain management, wound care, internal medicine, mental and behavioral health, and autism/ABA therapy. We are especially equipped to support mental health and behavioral health practices, and our industry-spanning approach ensures each client receives custom solutions aligned with their needs.
