Sosa Practice Partners
Improving Patient Care through Effective Practice Management

A full-service Practice Management company, Sosa Practice Partners (SPP) is highly regarded for its business integrity. As a family-owned entity with a solution architect mindset, SPP collaborates with clients to pinpoint areas of concern such as billing, credentialing, coding, staffing or systems-related issues. What distinguishes SPP is not the size of its team but the breadth of its expansive expertise—a vision pioneered by its founder, Carmen Sosa.

Strategic Collaborations and Custom Solutions

Sosa recognized early on it is impossible to encompass all necessary expertise under one roof, given the dynamic and complex nature of the industry. This realization inspired a strategic shift to extensively leverage partnerships. SPP collaborates with a network of certified and licensed contract professionals in practice management services—including medical billing, coding, credentialing and certified resources to deliver solutions tailored to each client’s need. Should a specific requirement arise, such as an Electronic Health Record (EHR) system with specialized parameters, SPP taps into its partner network to source the necessary solutions for a customized fit. This collaborative approach ensures client needs are met both promptly and effectively.

Flexible Pricing and Client-Centric Focus

“Our client-centric focus also means that standard pricing models are set aside. Instead, pricing and potential discounts are customized to each client’s specific needs and circumstances,” explains Carmen Sosa.

Whether supporting a smaller practice laying its foundation or an established provider seeking optimization, SPP’s client-centric focus and customized pricing structure guarantee the support needed to excel in the industry.

Commitment to Data Security

Data security is another cornerstone of SPP’s operations, and to uphold this commitment, it joins hands with two specialized providers.

This strategic collaboration allows the integration of essential expertise into its service offerings, ensuring strict compliance with HIPAA and other regulatory requirements. The company proactively communicates its security measures to clients, detailing how their sensitive information is protected.

Minimizing Disruption during System Transitions

Clients often hesitate to transition from their current systems, fearing disruptions to their daily operations. In such instances, SPP seamlessly implements additional security layers, enhancing existing infrastructure without causing significant operational interruption. This strengthens system security while preserving business continuity.

Special Focus on the Mental Health Sector

SPP’s dedication to safeguarding client data is particularly crucial in the mental health sector, which makes up a significant portion of its client base. In fact, the company’s roots lie in supporting this niche. Its focus on telemedicine in the mental health sector, where it supports professionals ranging from psychiatrists to social workers, sparked the formation of the business. Recognizing the distinct operational requirements in billing, specialized coding and particularly credentialing—a service often outsourced overseas—SPP prioritizes partnerships with U.S.-based providers. Outsourcing can introduce language and cultural barriers that impact the understanding of the nuances of U.S. healthcare practices and patient interactions. By keeping these services domestic, SPP ensures compliance with stringent U.S. data protection regulations, maintains high-quality control standards and upholds public trust by safeguarding patient information within the secure confines of U.S. jurisdiction.

Expanding Service Offerings

Beyond these core services, SPP sees a substantial demand for medical and administrative staffing. It has expanded its offering to include virtual and on-site assistance tailored to medical environments, including roles like receptionists who manage client check-ins and essential paperwork—tasks vital to its clients’ daily operations.

Case Study: Impact on Healthcare Practices

A notable example of SPP’s impact on healthcare practices is its telehealth solutions for a mental health clinic in Pennsylvania. Despite having a skilled team, the clinic faced challenges with disorganized work and delayed payments. Its use of multiple video-calling apps added to the confusion. When SSP intervened, it accurately pinpointed scheduling and billing systems as the root issues. It transitioned the clinic’s telehealth platforms to SPP’s proprietary solutions, set up integrated medical billing software and assigned a certified billing and coding specialist to manage activities.

Implementing these measures, the clinic achieved streamlined operations, improved the quality of remote consultations and ultimately boosted revenue.

Conclusion: Maintaining Core Values and Personalized Service

From its humble beginnings as a one-person company to a team of seasoned employees, certified contracted resources and collabortive Partnerships, SPP has held onto the values of a small, family-owned business. This focus on quality care and personalized service remains central to its culture. With each customized solution, reflecting the care that inspired the business, SPP cultivates the success and well-being of its clients.
