William "Billy" Abbate
President/COO
Billy
sets the strategic direction and business development for
Quality Physician Services. With 15-years experience
in healthcare and business, Billy has developed grass-roots
healthcare practices, hired physicians and staff, acquired practice locations, and coordinated
facility acquisitions, planning and build-out. He
has also helped improve the quality of patient care and financial position of medical practices by creating protocols for more
efficient operating procedures and systems that capture revenues
earlier in the billing and collections
process. These protocols allow physicians to concentrate
their efforts on the provision of medical care, while assuring
that their practices are managed in the most efficient and
profitable manner possible.
Billy
studied pre-med and majored in chemistry in college and worked
with a large laboratory company as his entrée into
the healthcare arena. He noticed that many of
his practice clients did not effectively
capture revenues in the lab, and could save both time and
money with a few simple changes.
Billy’s recommendations to clients earned him a reputation
as a business-savvy healthcare professional. Shortly
thereafter, he was hired by a client to manage and grow the
practice.
During
his time as a practice manager,
Billy increased practice revenues 10-fold and increased physician
incomes by 5. Billy began replicating the same formula
for other practices and found himself consulting with physicians and practice managers full-time as Quality
Physician Services.

When
asked about the secret to his success, Billy says, “Our
growth is predicated on talent. If you find the right people,
their talent creates opportunities.” The consulting and outsourcing services that QPS provides have developed as Billy
and his team have uncovered needs in healthcare practices, and
as they have partnered with talented professionals.
Billy regards the business of medicine as “fun,” but
as a world renowned competitive shooter, he spends much of his
free time participating in the shooting sports. A
former World Champion speed shooter, Billy competes in “Old
West” shooting competitions where he is also known by his
cowboy name, “TG Reaper.” Billy spearheads Western
3 Gun, a nation-wide club of shooting enthusiasts, and has
taught civilians, law enforcement personnel and competitive shooters
how to improve their shooting skills for almost 20 years. |
