How does Illinois not expanding Medicaid affect our 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 FYNQ work with our existing EHR or practice-management system?
Yes. We work inside your current system, so your Illinois practice does not have to switch software to start payment posting & patient billing.
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 Illinois's balance-billing law (SB 1264) affect out-of-network billing?
Yes. Illinois'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.
