Pediatric medical billing services are specifically designed to handle the billing needs of pediatric practices. These practices treat infants, children, and sometimes young adults. This includes services like vaccinations, well-child visits, and childhood illnesses. By using specialized coders and handling the entire revenue cycle, these services ensure pediatric practices get paid accurately for the care they deliver.

Coding System

Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes:

These codes describe specific medical services and procedures performed by the physician. In pediatrics, common CPT codes include:

  • 99201-99215: E/M codes for new and established patient office visits, categorized by complexity (level 1-5).
  • 99381-99395: Well-child visit codes for different age groups (newborn to 17+ years).
  • Specific procedure codes: These codes represent procedures performed during a visit, like vaccinations (90471) or ear examinations (92555).

Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS Level II) codes:

These codes supplement CPT codes and may represent specific supplies, services, or procedures not covered by CPT. Some examples in pediatrics include:

  • V00 series: Vaccination administration codes.
  • J codes: Codes for immunizing agents.
  • A codes: Codes for specific durable medical equipment used by children.

International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) codes:

These codes diagnose the patient’s condition(s) and are crucial for insurance reimbursement. Pediatric ICD-10 codes cover a wide range, including:

  • Infectious and parasitic diseases (e.g., A99.1 – Measles)
  • Respiratory diseases (e.g., J18.9 – Bronchitis, unspecified)
  • Congenital malformations and chromosomal abnormalities (e.g., Q00-Q99)
  • Injuries, poisonings, and certain other consequences of external causes (e.g., S00-T88)

Modifiers

Modifier 25: Significant, Separately Identifiable E/M service by the same physician

This is used when a significant evaluation and management service (E/M) is performed on the same day as another procedure or service. For example, a child comes in for a well-child visit (preventive service) and also has an ear infection that needs to be addressed (separate E/M service).

Modifier 59: Distinct Procedure Service

This indicates that a separate and distinct procedure was performed on the same day as another service. It’s less commonly used in pediatrics compared to modifier 25.

Modifier 24: Unrelated E/M service by the same physician

This applies to an unrelated E/M service provided within the global period (typically 90 days) following a major surgery performed by the same physician. This wouldn’t be used for billing procedures in pediatrics.

Modifier 33: Preventive Service

This identifies a service billed as preventive care. It’s often used with well-child visit codes.

In conclusion, Billing Care Solutions provides a comprehensive solution that simplifies your billing processes, maximizes reimbursements, and allows you to focus on what matters most – delivering exceptional care to your young patients and building a thriving pediatric practice.
