The Serbin Team
CARYL SERBIN – PRESIDENT AND FOUNDER
Caryl Serbin, RN, BSN, LHRM, President and Founder of Serbin Medical Billing, LLC, specializes in maximizing the revenue of ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs). Her company offers an innovative approach to Revenue Cycle Management. Serbin Medical Billing's premise and promise are based on the concierge concept of personalized quality service. This model may not appeal to every client, but for those ASCs who want personalized and quality outsourcing of their coding, billing and collection tasks, Serbin Medical Billing is the clear choice.
Ms. Serbin has over 30 years’ experience in the ASC healthcare arena. She previously owned and operated Surgery Consultants of America (SCA), an ASC development and management company, and Serbin Surgery Center Billing (SSCB), the first ASC-specific billing company (which went on to become the leading ASC-specific billing company in the industry). SCA and SSCB serviced more than 100 ASCs nationwide. In 2010, SSCB was acquired by Source Medical, the largest ASC software company.
In 2016, following many requests from previous billing clients and Caryl's realization that there was a need for more customer-service oriented revenue cycle management (RCM) services, she launched Serbin Medical Billing. Serbin Medical Billing's management and staff have extensive experience in all aspects of RCM. Unlike most ASC billing companies, their experience encompasses far more than just reimbursement. With their background in developing and managing ASCs, they also have the clinical, managed care and compliance experience needed to fully understand and answer the challenges facing ASCs in obtaining optimum, appropriate reimbursement.
As a recognized leader in the industry, Ms. Serbin has presented extensively at ASC national seminars and association meetings, authors articles on reimbursement and related topics and contributes regularly to industry publications. She was recognized in Who's Who in the Ambulatory Surgery Center Industry and chosen as the spokesperson for AAASC to present a series of educational seminars on the changing CMS payment system and its impact on ASCs.
