Navigating the complexities of medical billing, coding compliance, and revenue cycle management can be overwhelming. We have compiled answers to the most common questions our healthcare clients ask to provide you with complete operational transparency and peace of mind.

How is workers' compensation billing different from regular billing?

Workers' comp billing requires adherence to specific state-mandated fee schedules, includes complex legal modifiers, and often requires detailed clinical reports to be attached to every claim to prove medical necessity.

Do you understand the specific codes for QME and AME evaluations?

Yes. Our team is deeply experienced in Medical-Legal billing codes (e.g., ML201, ML202, ML203) and the strict reporting requirements necessary to ensure these high-value claims are paid.

Can you manage billing for SIBTF (Subsequent Injuries Benefits Trust Fund) cases?

Absolutely. We understand the specific billing nuances, reporting requirements, and cross-party communication necessary to successfully manage and collect on complex SIBTF claims.

Do you handle the required PR-2 and PR-4 reporting submissions?

We immediately initiate the Second Review process. If the payer still refuses rightful payment, we aggressively manage the Independent Bill Review (IBR) or file liens to secure your revenue.

Do you handle the required PR-2 and PR-4 reporting submissions?

Yes, our team ensures that all required Primary Treating Physician's Progress Reports (PR-2) and Permanent and Stationary Reports (PR-4) are correctly formatted and submitted alongside your bills.
