Billing under a signed BAA
Internal Medicine billingUSA

Internal medicine is paid for work it usually forgets to bill.

Chronic care management, transitional care and annual wellness visits are all payable and all routinely unbilled. The visits are happening already; the billing is what is missing.

Where the money leaks

Three ways Internal Medicine claims quietly lose value

Review these issues against the documentation, remittance and policy that applied on the date of service. They can appear as denials or underpayments.

  • Chronic care management never billed

    Monthly non face to face care coordination is a real payable service with time and consent requirements. Most practices do the work and bill none of it.

  • E/M levels not supported by the note

    Coding by habit rather than by documentation loses money on complex patients and creates exposure on simple ones.

  • Transitional care windows missed

    Post discharge care pays well but only inside a tight window with a documented contact. Miss the window and it is an ordinary visit.

Method

How Internal Medicine accounts are actually run

The worklist connects each claim to its documentation, payer requirements and next follow-up date.

  1. An internal medicine coder, not a general one

    The coder assigned to your account works internal medicine every day. They already know which of your payers do what, and they are watching chronic care programmes, E/M level support and annual wellness visits.

  2. Charges checked against the note

    Before anything goes out, the charge is read against the documentation. A code the note does not support is a recoupment waiting to happen, and in internal medicine it is usually the highest value code on the claim.

  3. Eligibility and authorization ahead of the visit

    Coverage is confirmed and any approval is in place before the service, not discovered afterwards when the work has already been done.

  4. Denials worked to cause, not just refiled

    Every denial is tagged by payer and reason code. When a pattern shows up in your internal medicine claims we change the upstream step so it stops recurring.

  5. Reporting you can act on

    Monthly numbers by procedure family and payer, with the one decision they imply, rather than an export nobody opens.

Questions

What Internal Medicine practices ask

Is chronic care management worth setting up?

For a panel of chronic patients, usually yes. We will tell you what it is worth for your panel before you commit to it.

Will you upcode our visits?

No. We tell you what the note supports and what it would need to support more.

Do you handle annual wellness visits?

Yes, including the distinction between a wellness visit and a physical, which patients and payers define differently.

Can you help with risk adjustment?

We can support the documentation and coding side of it. We do not touch clinical decisions.
