SNF Billing and Coding Specialist

SNF Billing Built Around Strict Medicare Rules

Every skilled nursing claim depends on precise PDPM grouping, spotless Triple Check compliance, and aggressive AR follow-up. Our SNF Billing Services master every layer of complexity.

PDPM & MDS Coding Alignment

Ensuring primary diagnosis codes and all patient characteristics from the Minimum Data Set match exactly to generate the optimal, compliant HIPPS code.

Medicare Part A & Part B Billing

Properly managing the complex transition of patients between Part A (skilled stays) and Part B (outpatient therapy) without dropping revenue.

Consolidated Billing Compliance

Identifying which ancillary services (labs, x-rays, pharmacy) are bundled into your per-diem rate, preventing you from double-paying outside vendors.

The Triple Check Process

Facilitating seamless collaboration between your MDS coordinator, therapy team, and our billers to ensure claims are 100% clean before submission.

End-to-End SNF Billing Services

We handle every phase of the skilled nursing revenue cycle—from admissions to Medicaid pending tracking—protecting your facility's bottom line.

Benefit Verification (Medicare/Medicaid)

Rigorous upfront checks of Medicare benefit days (100-day limit), managed care authorizations, and Medicaid status.

Pre-Authorization Management

Aggressively tracking Managed Medicare and commercial HMO approvals to prevent costly retrospective denials.

MDS/HIPPS Code Generation

Working alongside your clinical team to ensure the Minimum Data Set accurately reflects patient acuity for proper PDPM reimbursement.

Co-insurance & Deductible Tracking

Managing the critical transition when Medicare Part A co-insurance kicks in (days 21-100), billing secondary payers or patients promptly.

Notice of Admission (NOA) Tracking

Ensuring timely 5-day assessment and NOA/NOE submissions to Medicare to avoid late-filing financial penalties.

Account Resolution & Denial Management

Rapidly appealing ADRs and untangling dual-eligible (Medicare/Medicaid) billing overlaps to keep aging AR under 30 days.

Addressing Real Challenges with SNF Billing Services

Managing PDPM Transitions

Failing to capture accurate clinical categories, comorbidities, and functional scores costs facilities thousands. We audit the MDS alignment.

Overcoming Consolidated Billing

Navigating the complex list of excluded services (like certain ER visits or specialized imaging) so you don't absorb costs inappropriately.

Reducing ADRs

High audit risks exist when therapy logs don't match the physician's orders. We ensure medical necessity is clearly documented before billing.

Handling Triple Check Meetings

We take the stress out of month-end Triple Check meetings by pre-auditing the UB-04, MDS, and therapy logs for discrepancies.

Medicaid Pending Tracking

Patients waiting on Medicaid approval can stall cash flow for months. We manage these accounts rigorously to ensure timely payment once approved.

Administrative Burnout

Facility administrators are burdened with complex Medicare compliance. We take over the entire revenue cycle so they can focus on operations.
