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 Vermont 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 Vermont experience, including National Government Services Medicare, Vermont 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 Vermont 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 provide full revenue cycle management services in Vermont 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 National Government Services 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, National Government Services Local Coverage Determination revisions, Vermont Medicaid provider 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. Vermont’s mix of a dominant Blue Cross plan, Vermont Medicaid, and National Government Services 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 Vermont 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 Vermont medical billing companies vary widely in how well they run it. Vermont’s commercial market is led by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Vermont, with MVP Health Care also active, alongside a state-administered Medicaid program, a Medicare population served under National Government Services Jurisdiction K, and a provider market anchored by the University of Vermont Health Network and the OneCare Vermont accountable care organization. Practices from Burlington and South Burlington to Rutland and Montpelier face a billing environment where specialist in-market expertise is the single most important determinant of revenue performance.
Vermont Medicare and National Government Services (Jurisdiction K)
National Government Services is the Medicare Administrative Contractor for Jurisdiction K, which covers Vermont along with Connecticut, New York, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island. National Government Services 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.
- National Government Services 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 K.
- Provider Enrollment, Chain, and Ownership System status must be current for any provider billing Medicare. Lapses cause immediate denials.
Vermont Medicaid and Green Mountain Care
Vermont Medicaid, part of Green Mountain Care, is administered by the Department of Vermont Health Access and delivered largely as a state-administered program rather than through commercial managed care organizations. Much of the state also participates in the OneCare Vermont accountable care organization. For billing teams this means:
- State claim submission rules through the Vermont Medicaid provider portal
- Accountable care and attribution rules for participating practices
- Authorization requirements for specialty and high-cost services
- Program-specific timely filing and appeals timelines
Common Vermont-specific issue: providers who let Vermont Medicaid enrollment or revalidation lapse, or who misapply accountable care attribution rules, see systematic denials. A specialist partner keeps enrollment current and applies the correct rules before claims go out.
Common Vermont-Specific Coding and Billing Issues
- Blue Cross-led commercial market: Vermont's commercial market is led by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Vermont, with MVP Health Care and national carriers also present, each with its own prior authorization rules and coverage policies. Practices without a partner fluent in each carrier's requirements leave recoverable revenue uncollected.
- State-administered Medicaid and accountable care: Vermont runs its Medicaid as a state-administered program and layers on the OneCare Vermont accountable care organization, so billing rules differ from the commercial managed care model used in most states. Enrollment and attribution accuracy drive whether Medicaid claims are paid.
- Rural and rural health billing: Vermont has many Critical Access Hospitals, rural health clinics, and federally qualified health centers. Cost-based and encounter-rate billing rules differ from standard physician billing and require specialist knowledge.
- Cross-border and telehealth volume: Many Vermont patients and providers cross into New Hampshire and New York, and telehealth volume is high across the state's rural areas, creating place-of-service and modifier rules that shift by payer and drive denials when misapplied.
💰 Why This Matters for Your Bottom Line
A Vermont 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 National Government Services Medicare and Vermont Medicaid rules. The right partner pays for itself in a single quarter.

High-Volume Specialty Practices
