In Touch Billing Success Stories and Track Record

We have helped grow thousands of private practices over the years with a combination of software, workshops, and training programs. We recognize that basic elements like an EMR, billing software and a clearing house by themselves do not build a successful practice. They are just components of the bigger picture.

What you need is a billing service and a team that can help you with compliance and clinical documentation requirements. When you put great software in the hands of outstanding, dependable clinicians and billers, you’ll build a successful practice.

In December 2025 alone, our billing software has been used to process over $1 billion in collections and millions of insurance claims from thousands of payers in every state across the country. We are based in Denville, NJ and our billing staff is located in the United States and overseas, to help you lower your costs and maximize your revenue.
