Billing companies that work OB/GYN claims every day. Describe your practice once and compare their proposals.
A few questions about the practice, then billing companies that fit send proposals. You are not committing to anything.
Hand off all of it or just the parts that are breaking. Say which in the form so the proposals match.
Charges entered, claims checked against payer edits, and sent daily so clean claims go out the first time.
Every denial worked, appealed, or corrected, with the root cause tracked so the same denial stops repeating.
Old balances called on and worked by payer and by age until they are paid, adjusted, or written off on purpose.
Certified coders assign CPT, ICD-10, and modifiers from your notes, or audit the codes your providers pick.
New providers enrolled with payers, CAQH kept current, and revalidations handled before they lapse.
Statements, online payment, payment plans, and the phone calls that come with them, handled in your name.
Eligibility checks, prior authorizations, and old AR cleanup go through the same request. If you only need one piece, say so.
There is no right answer for every practice. The usual tradeoffs:
An OB/GYN office is two businesses sharing a front desk. One side is obstetrics, where a single global package covers nine months of care and gets paid once, long after most of the work is done. The other is gynecology, with well-woman visits, office procedures, and surgery that each follow different rules. Most billing trouble starts where the two meet, and a general biller who has never worked a delivery usually finds out on your claims.
Start with the global package. Prenatal visits, the delivery, and the postpartum check are bundled into one claim, unless the patient transfers in at twenty weeks, leaves the practice, or is delivered by a partner who was never her doctor. Then someone has to unbundle the antepartum visits and bill them correctly, or the practice eats the work. Ultrasounds, nonstress tests, and glucose screening get billed on top of the package, and they get denied for medical necessity more often than practices admit. On the gynecology side, the problem is modifiers. A problem visit on the same day as a Pap, an IUD insertion, or a colposcopy needs a modifier 25 and a note that supports it. Implants and IUDs are device claims with their own supply codes, and a missing one means the practice buys the device and never gets repaid. Surgeries carry global periods, so a postoperative visit billed in the wrong window comes back as a denial.
Payers matter more here than in most specialties. Medicaid managed care covers a large share of deliveries in many states, each plan has its own pregnancy notification rules, and commercial plans want prior authorization for imaging and genetic testing. Midwives and nurse practitioners in the group add a billing-provider question on top. A good OB/GYN biller tracks every delivery from the first positive test to the final paid claim and calls on the ones that stall. Outsourcing makes sense when delivery revenue arrives nine months behind the work and nobody can tell you which pregnancies are still open. On the quote form, give your monthly delivery count, your payer mix, and whether midwives bill under their own numbers.
Three steps. Most practices hear from the first billing company within a business day.
Specialty, providers, claim volume, your software, and what you want handled.
Your request goes to billing companies that work your specialty and take on practices your size.
Compare fees, scope, reporting, and contract terms side by side. Pick one, or none.
What practice managers usually ask before they fill out the form.
Describe the practice once and compare proposals from billing companies that fit. No obligation.
