Follow-Up Support: MainStreet believes in supporting patients in their healthcare journey, even after they have left the office. When patients have questions, you will answer phone calls with kindness, empathy, and confidence, as you are empowered to provide them with a resolution or thoughtfully triage them to the correct department.

Accuracy is imperative when submitting medical records requested by patients, providers, and attorneys.

Billing Support: Some functions of billing support include processing payments or issuing refunds when necessary, while ensuring patient account balance remains accurate.
