We work inside your existing EHR and practice-management system, map your Arizona payers and fee schedules, and set up secure, HIPAA-aware access. You don't switch software.
3. Coding & clean-claim workflow
Certified coders apply specialty-specific ICD-10, CPT, and HCPCS codes to your documentation, scrub every claim against Arizona payer edits, and submit clean — with eligibility and prior authorization handled up front.

We work denials by root cause, chase aged claims, post payments, and send a clear monthly report that compares your Arizona practice to benchmarks for your specialty.

The Arizona healthcare landscape
- Arizona's healthcare market is concentrated in the Phoenix and Tucson metro areas, with large systems such as Banner Health, HonorHealth, Dignity Health, and Mayo Clinic alongside many independent physician practices.
- AHCCCS, established in 1982, was the last state Medicaid program to launch and operates almost entirely through contracted managed care organizations rather than traditional fee-for-service.
- Rural and tribal communities across the state rely on critical access hospitals, Indian Health Service facilities, and federally qualified health centers, creating distinct billing and reimbursement environments.
- Arizona's rapid population growth and large share of retirees give it one of the higher concentrations of Medicare and Medicare Advantage enrollment in the country, shaping payer mix for many practices.

Do you handle Texas Medicaid (STAR / STAR+PLUS)?

How does Arizona not expanding Medicaid affect our billing?
Arizona has not expanded Medicaid and has one of the highest uninsured rates in the country, so practices see more self-pay and charity-care work — making clean coding and clear patient billing especially important.
Can FYNQ work with our existing EHR or practice-management system?
Yes. We work inside your current system, so your Arizona practice does not have to switch software to start eligibility & prior authorizations.
Is FYNQ HIPAA-aware and U.S.-based?
Yes. FYNQ uses HIPAA-aware workflows and is U.S.-based, with offices in Houston, TX and Little Rock, AR. Our public website never collects patient health information.
Does Arizona's balance-billing law (SB 1264) affect out-of-network billing?
Yes. Arizona's SB 1264 protections, layered with the federal No Surprises Act, make out-of-network billing and patient cost estimates more complex — an area our team handles directly.
Does FYNQ guarantee a specific clean-claim rate or revenue increase?
No. FYNQ never guarantees specific revenue or collection results. We focus on the process — clean claims, worked denials, and clear reporting — designed to improve billing performance over time.
