Outpatient and Employed-Group Billing
Hospital outpatient departments bill under OPPS while employed physician groups bill professional fees on the same encounter — with separate payer rules, separate modifier logic and separate denial patterns. We manage both workflows in parallel without crosswiring.
- OPPS-aligned facility billing for OPD encounters
- Professional-fee billing for employed physician groups
- Charge capture reconciliation against the EHR
- Modifier 25, 27 and 59 application per OPPS guidance
Denial Management at Hospital Scale
Hospital denial volumes are an order of magnitude beyond clinics — and the dollars per denial are significantly higher. We run structured denial triage with CARC/RARC categorization and root-cause feedback to registration, coding and case management.
- CARC/RARC denial categorization and trending
- Medical-necessity appeals with clinical attachments
- Timely-filing escalations to payers
- Root-cause loop back to front-end registration
Contract and Underpayment Recovery
Payers rarely pay the full contracted rate on the first remit. We compare each EOB against the contract rate per CPT and surface systematic underpayments for recovery.
Operational Challenges We Solve
- High-dollar denials from medical necessity disputes
- OPPS coding errors triggering downgrades
- Charge capture leakage between EHR and billing system
- Underpayments vs. contracted rates
- Cross-claim coordination between facility and professional
- Medicare Advantage payer behavior diverging from CMS rules
