Cortex Solutions Revenue Cycle Management
Revenue cycle management

The revenue cycle your organization deserves, run by people who own the outcome.

We come from the software side of this industry — the EHR, clearinghouse, and RCM platforms your claims already move through. Now we run the revenue cycle itself: eligibility through final payment, automation on the repetitive work, experienced people on everything that needs judgment.

The problem

Most providers aren’t underpaid. They’re under-followed-up.

The money is usually already earned. It leaks out in the quiet places: a stale eligibility check, a modifier nobody caught, a denial that aged past the appeal window while the front desk was busy being a front desk.

01

Denials that never get worked

A written-off denial is a decision nobody meant to make. We work every one to resolution or a documented reason.

02

Front-end errors, back-end cost

Bad demographics and unverified benefits create rework that costs more than the claim.

03

Staffing you can’t hire for

One biller resigning shouldn’t put a quarter of your cash flow at risk. Coverage should be structural.

04

Reporting you can’t act on

A monthly PDF of totals isn’t management. You need cause, owner, and next step.

Services

End-to-end, or the part that’s broken.

We run the full cycle for most clients. If you only need denials and legacy A/R worked, that’s a real engagement too.

01 — Front end

Eligibility, benefits & prior auth

Verification before the visit, benefit detail your staff can actually read to the patient, and authorizations tracked to approval.

02 — Coding

Coding & charge capture

Experienced coders review documentation for specificity and modifier accuracy, and flag missed charges back to the provider.

03 — Submission

Claim scrubbing & submission

Payer-specific edits applied before the claim leaves, so rejections get caught in minutes instead of weeks.

04 — Back end

Denials, appeals & A/R follow-up

Every denial is categorized by root cause, appealed on the payer’s timeline, and fed back upstream so it stops recurring.

05 — Patient

Payment posting & patient balances

Accurate posting with contractual variance checks, plus patient statements and support that sound like your organization, not a collector.

06 — Oversight

Reporting & revenue integrity

Weekly performance review, payer trend analysis, underpayment detection against your contracted rates.

Legacy A/R cleanup

Switching billers, or sitting on aged claims nobody has touched in months? We’ll work the old book in parallel while we run the new one.

How it works

Live in 30 days, without pausing your cash flow.

Transitions are where organizations get hurt. Ours is sequenced so claims keep going out the door the entire time.

WEEK 1

Assessment

We review your A/R aging, denial history, fee schedule, and payer mix, then tell you plainly where the money is sitting.

WEEK 2

Build

EHR and clearinghouse access, payer edit rules, workflow ownership, escalation paths, and your reporting cadence.

WEEKS 3–4

Parallel run

We take live claims while your existing process winds down. Nothing goes dark, nothing gets dropped between systems.

ONGOING

Manage & report

Weekly metrics, monthly review with your named account lead, and root-cause fixes pushed back into the front end.

Technology

Automation where it’s reliable. People where it counts.

We use AI and rules-based automation for the high-volume, low-judgment work — status checks, eligibility, document intake, denial triage. It never decides a code, writes an appeal, or talks to your patients on its own. A person reviews the work that carries risk.

We built this side of the business ourselves — our co-founder ran AI and engineering for a national EHR and practice-management platform. And we work inside the system you already own: no rip-and-replace, no new PM system to learn, no data held hostage if you ever leave.

AUTO

Eligibility & claim status checks

Run continuously against payers instead of once a week by hand.

AUTO

Denial triage & routing

Every denial classified by root cause and routed to the right specialist the day it lands.

AUTO

Payer-specific claim edits

Rules learned from your denial history, applied before submission.

HUMAN

Coding, appeals, patient calls, and your account

Judgment work stays with experienced staff. You always have a named human to call.

Who we serve

Every payer, every place of service.

Commercial, Medicare, Medicaid, and managed care — each with its own rules, timelines, and reasons to say no. We build the workflow around your actual payer mix.

Physician practices

Solo, small group, and multi-specialty organizations under one tax ID.

Surgical & procedural

Implant carve-outs, multi-procedure reductions, and auth-heavy caseloads.

Behavioral health & therapy

Visit limits, unit-based billing, and authorization cycles that never stop.

Facilities & post-acute

Institutional claims, per-diem and case-rate contracts, and complex coordination of benefits.

The company

Small on purpose. Accountable by design.

Cortex Solutions LLC was started on a simple observation: the large RCM firms are excellent at scale and mediocre at attention. Clients become a queue. Questions become tickets. The person who knows your account changes every quarter.

We built the opposite. A deliberately small book of clients, each with a named lead who knows your payers, your providers, and your aging by heart — supported by automation that gives a small team the throughput of a much larger one.

We don’t ask for long lock-ins. We’d rather earn the next month than trap you in the next three years. If your metrics aren’t moving, you should be able to leave, and you should be able to take your data with you.

Leadership

We built the systems your claims run through. Now we’ll run the billing.

Most billing companies are users of healthcare software. We came from inside it — one of us engineering the claim and remittance pipelines, the other running revenue cycle operations for the platforms practices depend on. You work with both of us directly.

Noushin Satarian

Noushin Satarian

Co-founder & Chief Operating Officer

Noushin has spent fifteen years watching revenue cycles succeed and fail from inside the software practices bill on, most recently running revenue cycle management for a national behavioral health platform. She has seen the same denial patterns repeat across an entire book of practices, which is why she can usually name your problem before the first report is run.

What that means for you

Nothing about your transition will be improvised. She has moved practices onto new billing operations for years, and she builds your workflow around what your payers actually pay — not a template.

Houman Satarian

Houman Satarian

Co-founder & Chief Technology Officer

Houman knows where claims stall in transit, because he built the plumbing they travel through. He led AI and engineering at a national EHR and practice-management platform, writing the eligibility, claim, and remittance pipelines that providers bill on every day.

What that means for you

Our automation is engineered in-house, not licensed and hoped for. When a payer changes a rule or your remits stop posting cleanly, it gets fixed here that week — not filed as a ticket with a software vendor and waited on.

Common questions

Before you ask

Do we have to change our EHR or PM system?

No. We work inside the system you already use. If you’re between systems, we’ll advise, but we don’t sell software and we don’t require a migration.

What happens to our current billing staff?

Most clients keep their front-desk and patient-facing people and hand us the back-office volume. We’ll tell you honestly which roles we replace and which we make more effective.

How is pricing structured?

Percentage of collections for full-cycle work, so we only do well when you get paid. Project scopes for A/R cleanup and assessments. We quote after we’ve seen your actual volume — never off a template.

How do you handle PHI?

A signed BAA before any access, least-privilege credentials scoped to the work, access logging, and staff trained on HIPAA annually. We’re glad to walk your compliance officer through it.

You’re a new firm. Why take the risk?

Fair question, and we’d rather answer it than dodge it. The company is new; the people aren’t. Our founders have spent their careers on the vendor side of RCM — running revenue cycle operations and building the claim and remittance infrastructure itself. You get that attention directly, with no multi-year lock-in and metrics reported weekly from day one. Judge us on the trend, not the pitch.
