Medical billing and RCM for pediatrics practices

Pediatric billing is low-dollar, high-volume and rule-dense, with vaccine administration and well-child schedules that payers apply inconsistently.

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.

How we work a pediatrics account
  1. 1 Vaccine coding checked component by component
  2. 2 Well-child schedules maintained per payer
  3. 3 Eligibility verified against the correct guarantor
  4. 4 Managed Medicaid handled plan by plan
