PureMD Group supports billing, denial management, credentialing, and lien recovery for practices with complex accounts.

Connected Revenue Cycle Support for California Practices

An unpaid claim can begin with an eligibility issue, missing documentation, incorrect billing information, or an unresolved payer request. Managing each task separately makes it harder to identify where an account stalled and what should happen next. PureMD Group connects medical billing with coding support, payment posting, denial management, and accounts receivable (A/R) follow-up. We review your practice’s billing responsibilities, payer mix, documentation needs, and existing systems to define an appropriate service scope. Reporting helps your team understand submitted claims, payments, outstanding balances, and recurring issues. For practices treating work-related or personal injuries, our support can extend to claim validation, coordination with attorneys or claims administrators, and applicable medical lien recovery. These accounts follow distinct workflows rather than a standard insurance follow-up process. Whether you need help with daily billing or a backlog of unresolved accounts, we start by reviewing your practice’s needs.

California Billing Requirements That Shape Your Workflow

Different coverage arrangements require different billing and follow-up processes. The applicable program, payer contract, service, and claim type determine which requirements matter.

Medi-Cal Billing Requirements

Medi-Cal billing requires attention to enrollment, eligibility, documentation, and applicable claim instructions. Confirm whether the account follows fee-for-service or managed care requirements before applying submission and follow-up rules. Do not assume a single filing deadline or authorization process covers every Medi-Cal claim.

Payer Payment & Dispute Processes

Payment follow-up should account for the responsible payer, contract terms, and applicable regulatory framework. Identify whether an account needs a corrected claim, additional documentation, or a provider dispute. Track relevant submission and response dates rather than applying a single prompt-payment rule to every California health plan.

Workers’ Compensation Bill Review

California Workers’ Compensation has specific billing guidance and applicable fee schedules. Disputes about payment amounts may require Second Bill Review and, where eligible, Independent Bill Review. Medical-necessity disputes follow a separate process. The appropriate next step depends on the bill, supporting records, and reason for the dispute.

Patient Billing Protections

An unpaid insurance balance does not automatically become the patient’s responsibility. Before issuing statements, review coverage, contractual adjustments, and applicable billing protections. For example, qualifying Medicare and Medi-Cal beneficiaries are protected from being billed for Medicare cost sharing. Account classification matters before patient follow-up begins

Medical Billing Support Built Around Your Practice

Your billing needs depend on more than practice size. Provider structure, payer mix, documentation, and injury-related accounts all affect the work involved. PureMD Group reviews these factors before defining the scope of service, whether you need ongoing medical billing support or focused help with unresolved balances.

How Our Medical Billing Process Works

Our process connects front-end checks with claim submission, payment review, and follow-up on outstanding accounts. We define responsibilities around your practice’s documentation, payer requirements, and agreed service scope.

Registration & Eligibility Review

Review patient demographics, insurance details, and available eligibility information. Identify missing or inconsistent information early so your practice can address coverage questions before they create avoidable billing work.

Documentation & Coding Review

Review documented services, diagnosis and procedure information, and relevant modifiers through the agreed coding workflow. Flag missing details or documentation questions for provider clarification before preparing the claim.

Claim Preparation & Submission

Check required claim information, payer routing, and supporting documentation before submission. Monitor submission responses so rejected or incomplete claims can be identified and corrected.

Payment Posting & Reconciliation

Record payments, adjustments, and remittance details against the appropriate accounts. Compare payment information with outstanding charges to identify discrepancies, potential underpayments, and balances requiring further review.

Denial Management & A/R Follow-Up

Investigate denial reasons and aging balances, then determine the appropriate correction, documentation request, appeal, or payer follow-up. Route Workers’ Compensation and Personal Injury accounts according to their specific requirements.

Reporting & Workflow Review

Review claim activity, payments, denial patterns, and A/R aging. Use these findings to identify recurring billing issues, clarify team responsibilities, and prioritize accounts that need attention.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find out the answers to the questions frequently asked by our clients.

What do medical billing services in California include?

Medical billing services can include claim preparation, submission, payment posting, denial management, and A/R follow-up. PureMD Group defines the service scope around your practice’s needs. We can discuss coding, credentialing, patient statements, and injury-related recovery support separately, where relevant.

Does PureMD support Workers’ Compensation and Personal Injury billing?

Yes. PureMD supports Workers’ Compensation and Personal Injury billing, collections, and applicable lien-recovery workflows. These accounts require different documentation and follow-up processes. Support may include claim validation, communication with claims administrators, attorney coordination, and unresolved-balance tracking, depending on the account and agreed scope.

Can PureMD work with our existing EHR or billing system?

Review system compatibility and access requirements before onboarding. Share your electronic health record (EHR), practice management, and billing platforms with PureMD so the team can assess the workflow and responsibilities. Confirm compatibility with a particular platform before service begins.

How much does outsourced medical billing cost?

Pricing depends on provider count, billing volume, specialty, payer mix, service scope, and account complexity. Request a proposal that explains included services and additional charges. Do not assume performance-based terms for lien recovery apply to routine medical billing.
