About Pia Berks, CPB
With over 25 years of expertise in medical billing and financial analysis, I’ve built a career delivering precise, reliable insights for healthcare practices and legal cases. Since October 2021, as an independent provider in Atlanta, GA, I’ve reviewed medical billing records to ensure accuracy, evaluating CPT, ICD-10-CM, and HCPCS codes against state standards and comparing charges to usual and customary rates. This work, paired with my role as Owner and CEO of Medical Accounts Collected, Inc. since January 2000, involves CPT and ICD-10 coding, billing audits, fee schedule negotiations, and financial analysis—skills I use to uncover discrepancies and produce clear Excel spreadsheets that simplify complex data for legal teams.
Certified as a Professional Biller by the American Academy of Professional Coders, and educated in cost containment, nutrition, and business accounting, I bring a unique blend of technical proficiency and courtroom-ready analysis. Whether identifying fabricated expenses or providing expert testimony, I offer credible, actionable insights that strengthen legal arguments and drive successful outcomes.
