AR Days Reduction
Dermatology billing is not standard medical billing. With multiple procedures per visit, complex CPT modifier requirements, benign-versus-malignant excision coding, Mohs surgery stage-by-stage billing, pathology coordination, and the ongoing challenge of separating cosmetic services from medically necessary procedures, dermatology practices face a revenue environment where coding errors translate directly into denials and underpayment. A single missed modifier or incorrect lesion measurement can trigger a cascade of claim rejections across high-volume days.

Where dermatology practices lose revenue?
Multi-Procedure Coding Complexity
High encounter volumes with multiple simultaneous CPT codes, modifier sequences, and lesion-specific variables create significant risk of undercoding and denials.
Modifier Misuse & Missing Documentation
Incorrect or missing modifiers — 25, 51, 59, XS — are the leading cause of dermatology claim denials, particularly on same-day E&M and procedure combinations.
Cosmetic vs. Medical Revenue Confusion
Failure to correctly distinguish medically necessary procedures from non-covered cosmetic services creates compliance risk, billing errors, and lost insurance revenue.
Lesion Measurement & Site Specificity
Stage-by-stage Mohs billing requires precise documentation of each surgical stage, defect dimensions, and repair procedures — incomplete records leave revenue on the table.
Mohs Surgery Staging & Repair Complexity
Stage-by-stage Mohs billing requires precise documentation of each surgical stage, defect dimensions, and repair procedures — incomplete records leave revenue on the table.
Pathology Billing Coordination
Multi-biopsy encounters, in-office pathology TC/26 billing, and coordination with external labs create overlapping claim risk that requires specialized billing expertise.
Full-spectrum RCM for every dermatology encounter
Eligibility & Benefits Verification
We confirm insurance coverage, deductibles, co-pays, and cosmetic exclusions prior to each encounter, preventing coverage-related denials before they occur.
Prior Authorization Management
Full prior auth lifecycle support for Mohs surgery, phototherapy, advanced procedures, and high-value treatments — submission, follow-up, and appeals handled end to end.
Claims Submission & Tracking
Clean claims submitted electronically to all payers with modifier validation and multi-procedure sequencing checks before each claim leaves the queue
Denial Management & Appeals
Every denied dermatology claim is reviewed for root cause — modifier error, cosmetic classification, documentation gap — and appealed with targeted clinical support.
Accounts Receivable Follow-up
Proactive follow-up on outstanding balances keeps AR days below industry benchmarks and prevents revenue aging on high-volume procedure days.
Patient Statements & Collections
Transparent, structured patient billing for both insurance-covered and cosmetic services — improving collections while preserving practice-patient relationships.
Payment Posting & Reconciliation
All payer and patient payments are posted and reconciled daily against expected reimbursements, keeping your books clean and audit-ready at all times.
Provider Credentialing
We manage enrollment and credentialing with commercial payers, Medicare, and Medicaid to keep contracts active and prevent credentialing-related claim delays.
Reporting & Analytics Dashboard
Real-time performance dashboards covering clean claim rates, denial patterns by procedure type, AR aging, lesion coding metrics, and payer-specific trends.
