New Practice Consulting for Michigan healthcare providers — Medical Management Systems

What does new medical practice consulting include?

New medical practice consulting helps a physician launch a practice correctly — covering entity and NPI setup, credentialing and payer enrollment, billing system and workflow design, fee schedule and coding setup, and revenue cycle planning. MMSM guides Michigan physicians through every step so the practice can see patients and get paid from the start, avoiding the costly delays that sink new practices.

Launch a practice that’s profitable from day one

Most new practices don’t fail because the medicine is wrong — they fail because the business was set up wrong. Credentialing started too late, the billing system was an afterthought, the fee schedule was guessed at, and cash flow stalled right when expenses were highest. The result is months of seeing patients you can’t fully bill for.

MMSM helps you avoid all of it. We’ve helped physicians launch and run practices for over 30 years, and we bring that experience to your startup — sequencing the work correctly so the revenue engine is running the day you open.

What we help you put in place

  • A clear startup roadmap — the right tasks, in the right order, on a realistic timeline
  • A clean billing foundation — entity, NPIs, and tax ID set up to bill correctly
  • Early credentialing and enrollment so you’re in-network when you open
  • Billing systems and workflows designed to scale, not to be replaced in a year
  • Fee schedule and coding setup that protects your margins from day one

One partner, all the way through

The real advantage of starting with MMSM is continuity. The team that designs your revenue cycle is the team that runs it — your billing, credentialing, and enrollment all under one roof, with no costly handoffs.

Answers

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers to the questions Michigan providers ask us most. Don't see yours? Just ask.

What are the first steps to start a medical practice?
At a high level: choose a business structure and obtain your tax ID and NPIs; secure licensure and malpractice coverage; begin credentialing and payer enrollment early (this is the long pole); set up your billing system, fee schedule, and workflows; and establish revenue cycle processes before you see your first patient. We walk you through each step — read our full guide on the steps to start a medical practice.
When should I start credentialing for a new practice?
As early as possible. Credentialing and enrollment can take 60–120 days per payer, so starting late means seeing patients you can’t yet bill. We typically begin credentialing well before opening so you can bill from day one.
Can MMSM run my billing after launch?
Yes — and that’s the advantage. We don’t just consult and disappear. The same team that sets up your practice can run your medical billing, credentialing, and enrollment going forward, so nothing gets lost in a handoff.
Do you help existing practices that are struggling?
Yes. We also help established practices restructure billing, fix revenue leaks, switch billing companies, and improve operations. A free review is the best place to start.
