The expertise you need without the hassle and expense of hiring more staff.
Physician’s Business Office was formed in 1997 as an independent medical billing and physician practice management company and has since served more than 60 clients. With over 30 employees, working both at our home office or at customer facilities, we currently service clients throughout West Virginia and Ohio.
HistoryThe seed for our business was sown in 1960 with the start of United Anesthesia, Inc., by a group of physicians who provided anesthesia care to patients in Parkersburg, WV. As the practice grew, the physicians incorporated in 1976 as Associated Anesthesiologists, Inc. Some physicians in the group wanted to provide chronic pain management services in addition to operating room anesthesia. In October of 1990, a subsidiary corporation, Pain Management Center, Inc., was formed. As of January 1, 1998, the group changed its name to United Anesthesia, Inc.
To handle our growing needs, the business office of the group set out to find a new information system. After an extensive search, IDX Systems of Burlington, VT was selected with a future option in mind to be the core for more than an anesthesia billing system. We wanted to be able to provide services to other physicians who were interested in maintaining their independence yet have the advantages of up-to-date information and management systems.
In 2007, the anesthesia practice and other related businesses were restructured. In this transition, Physicians Business Office was created as a separate stand alone business which then contracted for services with the anesthesia group and other clients. The company continued to grow over the years and we are currently serving more than 60 physicians and other mid-level providers in the region who practice in a variety of hospital, office, nursing home and behavioral health settings.
