Streamlining Billing for Assisted
Living Facility Operations

In the growing U.S. senior care market, accurate billing for assisted living facility (ALF) services is both critical and complex. ALFs provide a unique blend of healthcare, personal assistance, and daily support, meaning there’s no one-size-fits-all billing model.Payers demand precise documentation, the correct use of CPT codes for assisted living facility visits, and compliant diagnosis mapping. Even a minor coding error can cause payment delays or trigger unwanted audits.

From verifying provider notes to assigning the proper assisted living facility CPT codes, we manage your revenue cycle with precision.As an experienced offshore RCM partner based in India, we help U.S.-based assisted living operators reduce their administrative burden, prevent denials, and maintain compliance across Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance.

    Decoding CPT and ICD-10 Accuracy for ALFs

    Choosing the right CPT code for assisted living facility billing hinges on the service type and care complexity. While codes like 99324–99328 (new patient) and 99334–99337 (established patient) are common for physician or NP visits, the correct code always depends on payer policies and detailed documentation.

    Our certified coders stay current with every update, including assisted living facility CPT codes 2023 and the upcoming ALF CPT codes 2024, ensuring your claims are clean and compliant. We also ensure each ALF visit CPT code selection aligns with the diagnosis, using the correct ICD-10 code for assisted living facility and the specific ICD-10 code for place of occurrence in assisted living facility (Y92.125) where required.

    This meticulous approach eliminates mismatches that lead to rejections. By using the correct assisted living facility CPT code for every encounter, we protect your revenue and maintain transparency with payers.

    Physician Services Billed Separately

    Physician professional services are among the services excluded from SNF consolidated billing, so the physician or practitioner can bill them separately from the facility.
