Complex E&M Leveling

expand_more

Internal Medicine deals with high-acuity adults. We master the latest Medical Decision Making (MDM) and time-based guidelines to ensure you safely bill level 4 and 5 visits (99214/99215) for patients with multiple interacting chronic conditions without audit fear.

Flawless execution of Medicare Annual Wellness Visits (AWV), IPPE, and commercial physicals. We capture every eligible screening, immunization, and correctly apply Modifier 25 when addressing significant, separate acute issues during the same visit.

Accurate billing for EKGs, Holter monitors, spirometry, and point-of-care testing. We differentiate between Technical (TC) and Professional (26) components and verify medical necessity (ICD-10 linkages) to prevent automated payer bundling.

Care Management (CCM & TCM)

Capitalize on Medicare's care coordination codes. We audit Chronic Care Management (99490) time logs for the 20-minute minimums and strictly track Transitional Care Management (99495/99496) discharge dates and face-to-face visit windows.

Internal Medicine Billing is Complex.
We Make It Profitable.

Internal Medicine practices manage highly complex adult patients, facing intense scrutiny on E&M leveling, preventative/sick overlaps, and care management. Hover over the challenges below to see how HBS secures your revenue.

AWV + Acute E&M Bundling

When a patient comes in for an Annual Wellness Visit (AWV) but also requires evaluation for an acute illness or complex chronic flare-up, payers routinely deny the secondary E&M code if billed incorrectly.

The HBS Solution

We ensure distinct diagnosis mapping. By separating the preventative ICD-10 codes from the acute/chronic ICD-10 codes and properly applying Modifier 25, we secure payment for both services legally.

Chronic E&M Under-Coding

Fear of RAC audits causes many internists to “play it safe” and constantly bill Level 3 (99213) visits, even when managing multiple severe chronic conditions that legally warrant a Level 4 or 5.
Hover for Solution

The HBS Solution

We provide targeted Clinical Documentation Improvement (CDI) feedback. If your MDM supports a 99214/99215 based on prescription management or data review, we bill it and fiercely defend it against downcoding.

Care Management Overlaps

Billing Chronic Care Management (CCM) concurrently during the 30-day Transitional Care Management (TCM) window, or without meeting strict time minimums, triggers massive recoupments.
Hover for Solution

The HBS Solution

Our rules-engine cross-references dates of service globally. We prevent invalid concurrent billing, ensuring global periods and TCM windows are respected while maximizing allowable CCM minutes.
