Testimonials

"Diana has been excellent in collecting reimbursement from insurances. You need a biller who will return your emails, text or phone calls it's important that you build a one on one repport instead of a billing company who you might be dealing with different people. The most important thing in a biller is someone who will give you excellent results when it comes to collecting from insurances. Trust me you won't regret choosing Diana"

- Leo Martinez, LSA

"As a very busy Surgical Assistant, my time is valuable to the surgeons depending on me to be available when they need help. I value having Diana @ TNMB available to make sure my patients have access to the questions as they arise. Insurance companies also have questions about my billing, so having an experienced team is imperative to operate at my optimum capacity. TNMB will always be my choice for billing services.”

- Craig Cole, KCSA
