Physician Practice Guidance focuses on improving the revenue cycle function of small and medium size physician practices. As part of its practice management services, it conducts billing and coding audits and negotiates payer contracts.
Sabrina Skeldon, owner of Physician Practice Guidance, is a healthcare attorney and is certified in medical coding, auditing, and risk adjustment coding. She is skilled in streamlining revenue cycle processes from front desk procedures to the activities of the biller and coder. Her company puts a heavy emphasis on the development of a robust denial management program.
Physician Practice Guidance’s approach to effective denials management is twofold: the use of billing and coding audits to ensure the accuracy and effectiveness of coding and clinical documentation. Second, it creates revenue cycle procedures and standardized workflow processes, to establish best practices for physician groups.
Its goal is to help providers avoid delays or losses in revenue that prevent the provider’s ability to operate efficiently. Physician Practice Guidance is dedicated to protecting physicians’ interests as if their interests were our own. That is what sets it apart.

On November 6, 2023, the Office of Inspector General for HHS issued its new “General Compliance Program Guidance” (GCPG).
The GCPG is the first of a series of compliance guidances anticipated to be issued by the OIG. This first issuance contains 91 pages of general compliance guidance, tools and references addressed to all varieties of federal health care program providers and suppliers. Its issuance will be followed by compliance guidance addressed to multiple health care industry subsectors (i.e., specifically targeted categories of providers/suppliers) that will replace the existing compliance guidances which have been issued over the course of the last three decades, starting with the 1998 Compliance Program Guidance for Hospitals.

Let Physician Practice Guidance minimize practice risks and provide support in negotiating your commercial payer contracts.
I have had the opportunity to attend compliance training on recent developments in Medicare Advantage regulations, and on clinical documentation requirements that Sabrina Skeldon delivered. She is a great speaker and a great communicator, skilled at breaking down complex concepts.
I hired Sabrina Skeldon to evaluate the performance of my revenue cycle management company. Her audit of the company highlighted weaknesses that delayed and limited my practice’s recovery of revenue. She proposed recommendations that led to a restructuring of the agreement. She has been a great asset to my practice. I highly recommend her.
Sabrina Skeldon assisted in the development of a compliance program for my practice. She delivered expert advice on regulatory compliance issues and provided outstanding services.
AAPC the Magazine — It was an honor to publish Sabrina Skeldon’s article “Give Your Physicians a Financial Literacy Checkup” in the Feb. 2025 issue. She followed this insightful article with a live interview on AAPC’s Social Hour on Facebook. Sabrina also presented at the AAPC/AHLA Collaborative Compliance Conference, Aug. 2023, with the session “Making the Connection Between HIPAA Security and Patient Care.” Her expertise on statutory HIPAA security requirements and how to manage HIPAA-related risks was well-received by attendees.
Sabrina Skeldon provided a wide range of revenue cycle and denial management services to my practice. Through billing audits, she identified delays in the claims process that slowed the recovery of practice revenue. She also identified patterns in my practice’s denials that required my team’s attention. All these improvements increased my revenue cycle performance. I brought her back to audit the performance of our RCM. She identified lost revenue and helped my practice to change the arrangement resulting in improved practice income. I appreciate her expertise and professionalism and am glad I found someone who provides quality services to small practices for a reasonable cost.
I recently heard Sabrina Skeldon give a talk to the Denton Medical Society on strategies for improving practice revenue. Her talk was well received and focused on an issue of key importance to small practices– how to do more with their existing resources. She is highly knowledgeable in revenue cycle management. She used examples of costly errors to teach denial management techniques and gave instruction to providers by provided checklists they could use to train their staff. Her talk was practical and directed to an audience appreciative of that guidance.
Sabrina Skeldon provided a wide range of services to my dermatology practice. She is extremely knowledgeable in the areas of revenue cycle and denial management. She developed the revenue cycle program for my small practice, using billing audits to identify underpayments and successfully capture revenue. She has trained my billing and coding staff. Her skills extend beyond revenue cycle management. She has successfully negotiated payer contracts for my practice. In an area where small practices do not think they have a seat at the table, she has proved them wrong. She provides outstanding services.
