Comprehensive Podiatry Medical Billing Services
Podiatrists often deal with services that fall in and out of medical necessity, depending on the payer and context. Routine foot care, debridement, diabetic foot exams, and minor surgeries each come with documentation demands and complex coding rules.
Our podiatry medical billing services are designed to address the unique needs of foot and ankle specialists. We provide accurate coding, verify eligibility, manage denials, and help practices meet compliance expectations.
Podiatry-Specific Coding Knowledge
We apply precise CPT, ICD-10, and HCPCS codes for wound care, orthotic devices, nail avulsions, and foot and ankle surgeries.
Documentation Review and Support
We help ensure that procedures meet coverage criteria, especially for routine care or diabetic services that often face strict scrutiny.
Insurance Verification and Prior Authorization
Our team checks for podiatry-specific exclusions and requirements before each appointment to prevent claim delays.
HIPAA-Compliant Systems
Your patient data is secured at every step of the billing process with privacy protocols aligned with HIPAA standards.
Our Podiatry Billing Process
Patient Intake and Eligibility Checks
We confirm insurance details, benefits, and payer-specific rules for routine versus medically necessary care.
Accurate Coding and Charge Capture
Our coders assign codes based on the treatment provided, patient diagnosis, and payer policies to avoid unnecessary denials.
Claim Submission and Clearinghouse Integration
Claims are submitted promptly, with payer-specific edits and scrubbing to minimize rejections and speed up reimbursement.
Denial Management and Appeals
We investigate denial reasons, correct documentation or coding issues, and handle resubmissions without delay.
Payment Posting and Patient Statements
We post payments quickly, reconcile with EOBs, and issue clear, timely statements to patients when balances remain.
