Can FYNQ work with our existing Sioux Falls EHR or practice-management system?
Yes. We work inside your current system, so your Sioux Falls practice does not have to switch software to start claims submission & scrubbing.
Do you handle Texas Medicaid (STAR / STAR+PLUS) coding and claims?
Yes. Texas Medicaid runs through STAR and STAR+PLUS managed-care plans, each with its own rules; we code and submit to those plans the way they expect.
How does Texas not expanding Medicaid affect billing for Sioux Falls practices?
Texas has not expanded Medicaid and carries one of the highest uninsured rates in the country, so Sioux Falls practices see more self-pay and charity-care work. Clean coding and clear patient billing matter more here than in expansion states.
Do you support specialty practices near the West 18th Street Medical Corridor?
Yes. The Sioux Falls market is specialty-dense — oncology, cardiology, and more — and our claims submission & scrubbing is set up for specialty code sets, modifiers, and prior authorization.
Is FYNQ HIPAA-aware?
Yes. FYNQ uses HIPAA-aware workflows. Our public website never collects patient health information (PHI); we work with practices, not patients.

Does FYNQ guarantee a specific clean-claim rate or revenue increase?
No. FYNQ is a B2B Sioux Falls medical billing partner and 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.
Can you also handle denials, A/R, and credentialing for our Sioux Falls practice?
Yes. Claims Submission & Scrubbing is one of eleven revenue-cycle services we offer — alongside denial management, A/R follow-up, credentialing, eligibility and prior authorizations, and more — so a Sioux Falls practice can hand off as much or as little as it wants.
What does claims submission & scrubbing cost for a Sioux Falls practice?
Pricing depends on your claim volume and how much of the revenue cycle you hand off. The free Billing Health Check includes a transparent scope and quote for your Sioux Falls practice — with no obligation.
How long does it take to onboard a Sioux Falls practice?
Onboarding timelines depend on your systems and payer mix; we scope a realistic timeline for your Sioux Falls practice during the Billing Health Check, and we work inside your current software so there's no migration.
Do you work with small Sioux Falls practices or only large groups?
We focus on independent practices — typically 2–20 providers — which are exactly the Sioux Falls clinics that feel billing and coding complexity the most.
