Applied Medical Systems began in 1979 as purely a medical billing company residing in Durham, NC. Today, Applied Medical Systems provides billing, coding, medical business best practices, and consulting services to hospitals, internal medicine groups, private practices, and emergency department doctors. Outsourcing business management and financial billing and coding to Applied Medical Systems removes the responsibility of the physicians to be business men and women, giving them more time to focus on their true passion, medicine. Today, AMS provides their services to health care professionals across the entire United States, and is known as a national leader in their field.
