Billing companies that work endocrinology claims every day and take on practices in Washington, DC. Describe your practice once and compare their proposals.
A few questions about the practice, then billing companies that fit send proposals. You are not committing to anything.
Hand off all of it or just the parts that are breaking. Say which in the form so the proposals match.
Charges entered, claims checked against payer edits, and sent daily so clean claims go out the first time.
Every denial worked, appealed, or corrected, with the root cause tracked so the same denial stops repeating.
Old balances called on and worked by payer and by age until they are paid, adjusted, or written off on purpose.
Certified coders assign CPT, ICD-10, and modifiers from your notes, or audit the codes your providers pick.
New providers enrolled with payers, CAQH kept current, and revalidations handled before they lapse.
Statements, online payment, payment plans, and the phone calls that come with them, handled in your name.
Eligibility checks, prior authorizations, and old AR cleanup go through the same request. If you only need one piece, say so.
There is no right answer for every practice. The usual tradeoffs:
A practice in the Washington area is often credentialed in the District, Maryland and Virginia at once, and each of those is its own set of plan contracts, enrollment portals and renewal dates. A lapsed CAQH attestation will stop payment from one plan and not the others, and the practice finds out when a batch of claims comes back unpaid. Credentialing in this market is a part-time job nobody was hired to do.
Federal employees and retirees keep the Blue plan and the other national plans busy here. CareFirst covers a large share of the commercial market. MedStar, Georgetown, George Washington and the nearby Johns Hopkins campuses give patients plenty of employed options, so independent offices tend to win on convenience, and convenience means their patients bring every kind of insurance card. One fact to plan around: each of the three jurisdictions runs its own Medicaid program, so a patient who moves across a line in the same neighborhood becomes a different payer.
