Staff spends 20-40 minutes monthly on care coordination for complex diabetic patients but fails to document and bill CCM codes. Semantic variation: care coordination reimbursement gap, non-face-to-face service billing loss, interdisciplinary care revenue bleed
Automated time-tracking templates embedded in your EHR. Every medication reconciliation call, care plan update, and patient outreach minute is captured and mapped to CPT 99490 (20+ minutes) or 99487 (60+ minutes complex). Average recovery: 22 additional billable minutes per patient monthly.
Medicare requires 2 blood glucose readings daily for CGM coverage. UnitedHealthcare demands documented hypoglycemia unawareness. Aetna needs a history of severe hypoglycemic events.
A payer rule engine updated daily for 50+ commercial plans plus Medicare. Pre-submission eligibility verification with coverage criteria checklists. Denial rate for CGM claims: 11% → 3.2%.
Single-use pens for Ozempic, Mounjaro, and Wegovy contain more than the prescribed dose. The discarded remainder can be billed with JW modifier but rarely is.
JW modifier appended automatically when prescribed dose is less than vial/pen total units. Wastage documentation prepopulated in clinical note. Average monthly recovery per 100 GLP-1 patients: $1,200-$1,800.
A patient with diabetes (E11.9), obesity (E66.01), and hypothyroidism (E03.9) qualifies for 99214 or 99215 based on MDM, yet many code at 99213.
Pre-submission MDM calculator that scores diagnoses, data reviewed, and risk. Quarterly E/M coding audits by provider with targeted education. Average revenue lift: $12,000 per provider annually.
From patient registration to final payment posting. We handle eligibility, prior authorizations, coding, claims, denial management, and A/R aging for diabetes, thyroid, metabolic, and obesity management practices.
Medicare reimburses ~$62/month for CCM (CPT 99490) and ~$83/month for complex CCM (CPT 99491). We capture every qualifying minute of clinical staff time with automated documentation.
Bill for continuous glucose monitors (CGM), blood pressure monitors, and weight scales. CPT 99453 (setup), 99454 (device supply), 99457 (first 20 min review), and 99458 (additional 20 min).
Specialized coding for insulin pumps, CGMs, diabetes education (DSMT), and supplies. We manage J-codes, modifiers, and medical necessity documentation for type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
We manage prior authorizations for specialty medications (GLP-1 agonists, insulin analogs), advanced diagnostic tests, and CGM devices while ensuring complete clinical documentation.
Track clean claim rate, CCM revenue, RPM adoption, denial reasons by payer, and A/R aging. Full transparency into your endocrinology practice's financial health.
