Medical Billing Services in Houston: A Local Team in Sugar Land
Billing, Coding, Credentialing and A/R for Greater Houston Practices
Billing Benefit is a Houston-area medical billing company with its office in Sugar Land, about 20 miles southwest of downtown Houston. We handle coding, claim submission, denial follow-up, A/R and credentialing for practices across Houston, Fort Bend County and the surrounding counties, and practices nearby can meet our team in person.
Billing Problems We Fix for Houston Practices
| Billing problem | Why it costs you | How we fix it |
|---|---|---|
| Medicaid and CHIP claims across many plans | Houston-area Medicaid and CHIP patients are enrolled in several STAR and CHIP health plans, such as Community Health Choice and Texas Children’s Health Plan, and each plan has its own authorization and filing rules. | We confirm which plan each patient is in, bill to that plan’s rules through TMHP or the plan, and follow each claim until it is paid or appealed. |
| Medicare Advantage denials | Many Medicare patients in the Houston area are in Medicare Advantage plans, which add prior authorization and network rules that traditional Medicare does not have. | We check authorization and network status before billing and appeal denials that should have been paid. |
| New providers who cannot bill yet | A provider who is not credentialed with BCBS of Texas, UnitedHealthcare, Aetna, Cigna, Humana or the Medicaid plans cannot bill them, so visits go unpaid. | We handle CAQH, payer applications and Medicare and Medicaid enrollment, and follow up with each payer until the provider is approved. |
| Billing that stalls when staff are short | When a biller leaves or is out, claims and follow-up fall behind and cash flow drops within weeks. | Our team takes the billing work off your front office, so claims keep going out and follow-up keeps happening. |
| A/R older than 90 days | The older a claim gets, the less likely it is to be paid, and claims past 90 days are easy to lose track of. | We work old A/R by payer and age, starting with the largest balances that can still be recovered. |
Houston Payers We Work With Every Day
Medicare, Medicaid, CHIP and commercial plans
Medicare claims from Texas go to Novitas Solutions, the Medicare contractor for Jurisdiction H. Texas Medicaid runs through TMHP, and in the Houston area Medicaid and CHIP patients are enrolled in STAR and CHIP plans such as Community Health Choice and Texas Children’s Health Plan. Commercial plans in Houston include BCBS of Texas, UnitedHealthcare, Aetna, Cigna and Humana, each with its own edits and prior authorization lists. We match every claim to the right plan’s rules so more claims are paid the first time.
