Our Process
We do not throw your practice into a database and call it a match. Our process is built around a real human review on every Pennsylvania request, which is the differentiator our team is most protective of.
Submit Your Request
You complete a short intake describing your specialty, practice size, electronic health record, payer mix, and current billing pain points. A team member at Billing Service Quotes reviews it personally.
Human Match Review
Our team narrows the partner pool to revenue cycle companies with verified Pennsylvania experience, including Novitas Solutions Medicare, HealthChoices Medicaid, and your specialty. We vet for fit, not just availability.
Partner Introductions and Quotes
We introduce you to a short list of matched partners. You receive customized quotes that reflect your collection volume, specialty, and service scope. Quotes typically arrive in roughly 30 minutes for the initial connection, with detailed proposals to follow.
Compare, Diligence, and Decide
You compare side by side, ask questions, and request references. We stay available to clarify quote terms, contract language, and what is and is not included. You make the final decision on your timeline.
Optional Check-Ins
After you select a partner and onboard, you can come back to us any time you have questions about the relationship. Our team is reachable when you need a second opinion.
What We Need From You
Completed intake form • Current monthly collections range • Current electronic health record or practice management system • Short summary of billing pain points • Point of contact for partner introductions.
Our Revenue Cycle Management Partners
For most Pennsylvania practices, billing is just one piece of a larger revenue cycle. The bigger leverage is in the systems behind it: clean coding, disciplined accounts receivable recovery, and reporting that catches revenue leaks before they compound. The matched partners in our network handle full healthcare revenue cycle management so your revenue does not depend on a single staff person remembering to follow up.
Medical Coding
Coding is where claims either flow or stall. A specialist partner brings certified coders (Certified Professional Coder, Certified Coding Specialist, Certified Risk Adjustment Coder, or specialty equivalents) who handle:
- ICD-10-CM diagnostic coding aligned with Novitas Local Coverage Determinations
- CPT and HCPCS Level II procedure coding by specialty
- Modifier review (25, 59, 76, 95, GT, and others), with attention to the modifier 25 and 59 misuse pattern that drives a high share of payer denials
- Evaluation and management leveling under current American Medical Association guidelines, including split or shared visits
- Specialty-specific code sets for behavioral health, primary care, cardiology, orthopedics, and surgical encounters
- Coding audits at intake and on an ongoing rotation
Most practices that bring coding in-house find it works at small volume but starts to break down past a few thousand encounters per month. A specialist partner scales without a ceiling and absorbs payer rule changes (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services quarterly updates, Novitas Local Coverage Determination revisions, HealthChoices managed care plan policy bulletins) without practice involvement.
Accounts Receivable Recovery
Accounts receivable recovery is the most underrated revenue lever in the cycle. Every aged claim has a clock, and once a claim ages past 90 days the probability of full collection drops sharply. Pennsylvania’s mix of HealthChoices managed care plans, regional Blue Cross carriers, and Novitas Solutions Medicare makes this harder in-house, because each has its own reconsideration windows that close fast.
A matched partner runs structured accounts receivable work on a weekly cadence:
- Aged accounts receivable analysis by payer and bucket (0-30, 31-60, 61-90, 91-120, 121+)
- Targeted work on 90+ day claims before timely filing windows close
- Appeal authoring for denied or underpaid claims with payer-specific documentation
- Underpayment recovery against contracted fee schedules
- Patient-responsibility follow-up and statement cycles
- Write-off review, with practice approval before any adjustment
Recovering even a small percentage of aged accounts receivable usually covers the partner’s fee for the year. For practices switching partners, the legacy accounts receivable work-down is the single most important transition step to plan around.
Full-Cycle Revenue Cycle Reporting
You cannot fix what you cannot see. Matched partners deliver monthly key performance indicator dashboards covering:
- Days in accounts receivable (target: under 35 for most specialties)
- Net collection rate (target: 95% or higher)
- Clean claim rate (top performers around 98%)
- Denial rate by payer and reason code
- Payer-mix performance, with Medicare and HealthChoices Medicaid breakouts
- First-pass resolution rate
These dashboards turn the revenue cycle from a black box into a managed process. Practices that review the reports monthly catch payer trends early and protect against silent reimbursement erosion.
Our Medical Billing Partners
Medical billing is the front end of the revenue cycle, and Pennsylvania medical billing companies vary widely in how well they run it. Pennsylvania’s commercial market is split by region between Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield, Independence Blue Cross in the Philadelphia area, UPMC Health Plan in the west, and Capital Blue Cross in the center, alongside a Medicaid population served through the HealthChoices managed care program, a large Medicare population served under Novitas Solutions Jurisdiction L, and major integrated systems from UPMC to Penn Medicine and Geisinger. Practices from Philadelphia and Pittsburgh to Allentown and Harrisburg face a billing environment where specialist in-market expertise is the single most important determinant of revenue performance.
Pennsylvania Medicare and Novitas Solutions (Jurisdiction L)
Novitas Solutions is the Medicare Administrative Contractor for Jurisdiction L, which covers Pennsylvania along with New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware, and the District of Columbia. Novitas publishes Local Coverage Determinations and coverage articles that govern medical necessity documentation across every specialty.
- Local Coverage Determinations for cardiology, chronic disease management, orthopedics, and behavioral health require specific ICD-10 indications with supporting clinical documentation.
- Novitas has detailed documentation rules for evaluation and management visits under current American Medical Association guidelines, particularly for complex encounters and split or shared visits.
- Modifier 25 and modifier 59 use is reviewed closely; incorrect application is a common denial driver across Jurisdiction L.
- Provider Enrollment, Chain, and Ownership System status must be current for any provider billing Medicare. Lapses cause immediate denials.
Pennsylvania Medicaid and HealthChoices
Pennsylvania Medicaid, known as Medical Assistance, is administered by the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services and delivered largely through the HealthChoices managed care program. Major managed care plans include UPMC for You, Keystone First, Highmark Wholecare, Aetna Better Health, Geisinger Health Plan, UnitedHealthcare Community Plan, and AmeriHealth Caritas. Each plan has its own:
- Provider portal and claim submission rules
- Authorization requirements for specialty services
- Timely filing limits (plan-specific)
- Appeals process and reconsideration timelines
Common Pennsylvania-specific issue: providers enrolled with Pennsylvania Medical Assistance but not separately credentialed with the HealthChoices managed care plan covering their patient, causing systematic claim rejections. A specialist partner verifies plan-level enrollment before claims go out.
Common Pennsylvania-Specific Coding and Billing Issues
- Regional Blue Cross market: Pennsylvania's commercial market is divided by region between Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield, Independence Blue Cross, UPMC Health Plan, and Capital Blue Cross, plus Aetna and Cigna, each with its own prior authorization rules and coverage policies. Practices without a partner fluent in each carrier's requirements leave recoverable revenue uncollected.
- HealthChoices Medicaid concentration: Most of Pennsylvania's Medicaid population runs through HealthChoices managed care. For many practices these plans are a large revenue share, so a single billing error hits cash flow directly.
- Provider-owned health plans: Pennsylvania has several large provider-owned plans, including UPMC Health Plan and Geisinger Health Plan, whose payer and provider rules are tightly linked. Billing correctly across these integrated systems requires specialist knowledge.
- Rural billing and telehealth volume: Pennsylvania has many rural health clinics and federally qualified health centers across its central and northern counties, and growing telehealth volume, with modifier and place-of-service rules that shift by payer and drive denials when misapplied.
💰 Why This Matters for Your Bottom Line
A Pennsylvania practice with average annual collections of $1M can lose $50,000 to $100,000 a year in preventable denials and underpayments when its partner does not actively work Novitas Solutions Medicare and HealthChoices Medicaid rules. The right partner pays for itself in a single quarter.

Who We Help
Pennsylvania’s healthcare landscape spans Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Allentown, and Harrisburg, from solo offices in rural counties to multi-provider groups in the major metros. We match across practice types, but the segments below see the most consistent fit.
Solo Practitioners
Independent Pennsylvania physicians and allied providers running lean operations. We focus on partners that are responsive at small-volume scale and handle Novitas Solutions Medicare and HealthChoices Medicaid plan billing without learning curves.
Group Practices (2 to 25)
Multi-provider groups across Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Allentown, and beyond that have outgrown do-it-yourself billing. Best fit with partners offering strong reporting and a dedicated account manager experienced in Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield, Independence Blue Cross, UPMC Health Plan, and HealthChoices Medicaid.
Ambulatory Surgery Centers
Pennsylvania ambulatory surgery centers face specific HCPCS Level II coding, revenue code, and implant invoicing requirements alongside managed care authorization rules. We match with partners experienced in ambulatory surgery center reimbursement.
New & Expanding Practices
Practices opening a new Pennsylvania location or adding providers need a partner ready on day one. We prioritize partners that can stand up the full revenue cycle quickly, including commercial credentialing, Medical Assistance enrollment, and reporting cadence from the first week of operations.
High-Volume Specialty Practices
