Emergency Medicine Billing Services

Why Emergency Medicine Billing Services Require Expert Management


Emergency​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ medicine billing is a little different and more complicated in some ways, as it is a fast-moving field, the coding for critical care is complicated, and the documentation requirements for high-level E/M services are very strict. The goal of handling such a high volume of patients and at the same time capturing both facility and professional fees poses a financial risk. Moreover, intricacies like shared visits, observation status, and the No Surprises Act compliance elevate the possibility of revenue loss.

Billing Care Solutions extends the right emergency medicine billing expertise to you. Our certified coders are proficient in dealing with level 4 and 5 E/M visits (CPT 99283–99285), critical care time documentation (CPT 99291, 99292), and are comfortable with complex procedures such as intubation (CPT 31500) and central line placement (CPT 36591, 36592). We are with you every step of the way, from triage to discharge, ensuring that you comply with the law and keep your revenue ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌safe.
