Meridian Billing Services Can Help
We will handle all billing related phone calls and inquiries with the utmost professionalism, compassion and understanding.
Our billing specialists know the ins and outs of insurance policies and billing protocols and are able to explain it in a way that is simplified and easy to understand.
We ensure improvement of cash flow by meticulously combing through all claims payments to make sure they are getting paid per the contracted rate. Many insurance companies “accidentally” make mistakes on claims payments and if they are not held liable then your money is being given away!
We lower your operating costs by eliminating the burden of employee wages, insurance and other costs associated with in house employees.
We don’t get paid unless you get paid.
With over 8 and half years of successful business practices and experience with patient’s billing concerns, we have excelled in creating lasting relationships and return patients.

Meet The Owner
Wendy Hawtin
As Vice President of Administration, I saw how the billing and collections could impact the entire operation and implemented processes needed to maximize billing efficiency. I worked with Physical Therapist's, office staff and aides to charge correctly, guided and trained office staff to communicate with patients correctly and let the appropriate people address billing and collections, thus avoiding confusion and miscommunications. I am passionate about the Physical Therapy community and dedicate my time and services to ensure that practices run successfully so patient's can receive the care that they need.
As a Lodi, CA native I enjoy spending time with my husband, daughter and two dogs. We often spend our time traveling to the bay area to go site seeing.
