The challenges
What actually costs pediatrics practices money
Vaccine administration coding
Product and administration codes must match, counted per component.
Well-child frequency rules
Visit timing rules differ by payer and by plan year.
Split and changing family coverage
Custody and dual-coverage situations produce eligibility failures.
Medicaid plan variation
Managed Medicaid plans behave differently from one another.
