William (Billy) Abbate
Executive Director Quality Physician Services (Administrative Office)

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 entree 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.
