Testimonials and Recommendations
Richard Donaldson, LCSW
“Elite Billing Service has done the billing for my psychotherapy practice since 2017 .
I have found Sara to be honest, accurate, and persistent in getting payment from clients and insurance companies.
Sara has also been helpful to my clients. When clients ask me about their accounts I direct them to Sara for the answers they want. I have received many positive comments from clients about how helpful she was to them.
Sara has developed intake paperwork in consultation with attorneys to provide accurate information, legal consents, and necessary safeguards for my practice.
I am very happy with Sara’s work.”

“I had the pleasure of working with Sara Godinho for 18 years while running my business, Elite Billing Service (EBS). Sara played a vital role in every aspect of the business, making a lasting impact on both our clients and operations.
From appointment scheduling to claims processing and submission, Sara mastered the complexities of medical billing. She ensured that claims were handled efficiently, payments were posted accurately, and collections were addressed professionally. Her expertise didn’t stop there—she also worked tirelessly with insurance companies to secure full reimbursements for providers. When challenges arose, Sara was quick to negotiate updated rates, always striving for the best outcomes for our clients.
Sara’s attention to detail was unmatched. She took the initiative to update and create HIPAA-compliant intake forms tailored to individual practice needs. Her dedication to staying current on state and federal regulations ensured that our clients always remained compliant. What truly set Sara apart was her ability to share this knowledge respectfully and effectively with providers, empowering them to make informed decisions.
What I admire most about Sara is her "go-getter" spirit. She’s reliable, personable, and genuinely invested in helping practices thrive. Her caring attitude made her a favorite among patients and providers alike. She always approached challenges with a positive mindset and a determination to find solutions.
When I decided to retire in September 2021, there was no question in my mind that Sara was the right person to take over the company. Every provider contracted with me chose to stay and transition their billing needs to her—a true testament to her professionalism and ability to build lasting relationships.
If you’re looking for someone who will treat your practice as if it were her own, ensuring compliance, efficiency, and satisfaction, Sara is the person you need. Her passion for excellence and genuine care make her an invaluable asset.”

“As a LMFT with a private practice of up to 30+ clients a week, I found that keeping up with billing was taking up more and more of my time. I tried two other billing services and was very unhappy with them. Another therapist recommended I try Elite Billing Service.
Elite came in and cleaned up much of my old billing and set up a very smooth billing process. I have worked with Elite Billing Service (and Sara) for four-plus years, and I am delighted that Sara kept up on the changing insurance billing world as well as changes in other areas that affected my practice. I like that the fee is a percentage of payments received; I know they are working hard to get me paid.
It’s nice to work with someone who is thorough and yet retains a sense of humor. Sara works hard to get the payments in. I have been very pleased working with Elite Billing Service and would highly recommend them.”

“It is with such enthusiasm that I recommend the services of Elite Billing Service.
I have been using EBS to bill my mental health practice billing since 2019 and have been completely satisfied with their performance. They do an excellent job, are prompt, and professional, and offer the most competitive rates in town.
Elite Billing Service helps make my practice enjoyable and worry-free. They are reasonably priced and go above and beyond to keep me informed of current issues and provide the best practice guidance.”
