How does Illinois not expanding Medicaid affect billing?
Illinois 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 you work with our existing EHR?
Yes. We work inside your current EHR and practice-management system; your Illinois practice does not switch software.
Does FYNQ guarantee specific revenue or collections?
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.
