Primary care billing involves reporting evaluation and management (E/M) visits, preventive services, chronic care encounters, and care coordination activities. Because these services are frequent and often time-based, accuracy and consistency are critical.
Primary care billing covers annual wellness visits, preventive examinations, acute care visits, chronic disease management, immunizations, in-office procedures, and care coordination services. The 2021 E&M code changes significantly impacted primary care billing, shifting to a medical decision making or total time basis for selecting visit levels. Accurate coding of new vs established patients and telehealth visits are ongoing challenges.
Our focus is to ensure clean claims while protecting providers from audits and payment delays.
Correct CPT coding is the backbone of primary care billing. Our coding team works daily with common CPT codes used in primary care and ensures each service is billed at the correct level.
We also monitor commonly missed CPT codes in primary care to help clinics capture revenue that often goes unbilled.

Our medical coders are proficient in all Primary Care CPT codes, including:
