Denial Management
We find why claims are denied, fix and appeal them, and close the gaps that cause repeat denials.
Medical billing, coding, credentialing and A/R follow-up from our office in Austin, Texas, for practices, facilities and agencies in Texas and across the US.
DocMBS (Doctor Medical Billing Solutions) is a medical billing and revenue cycle management company based in Austin, Texas. We handle the billing work that slows practices down, from claim submission and coding to denials, A/R follow-up and provider credentialing, so your team can focus on patients. DocMBS is a subsidiary of H-Cube BMG Pvt Ltd.
Texas billing has its own rules, and we work with them every day.
The Texas Medicaid & Healthcare Partnership (TMHP) administers Texas Medicaid fee-for-service claims and provider enrollment. Texas Medicaid has a short filing window, generally 95 days from the date of service, so claims need to go out fast and clean. We track those deadlines for you.
Most Texas Medicaid members are enrolled in managed care plans run by health plans under contract with the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC). Each plan has its own portal, authorization rules and claim requirements. We bill each plan the way it expects, and we follow up on every unpaid claim.
Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas uses different filing limits for its PPO, HMO, Medicare Advantage and Medicaid plans. We set up your claims by plan line, so nothing ages out. We also work with the other commercial and Medicare Advantage payers your patients use.
New providers can’t bill until they are enrolled. We help with Texas Medicaid enrollment through TMHP’s Provider Enrollment and Management System (PEMS), Medicare enrollment through PECOS, CAQH profiles and commercial payer applications.
We focus on specialties where billing rules are complex:
Whether your practice is in Austin, Round Rock, San Antonio, Houston, Dallas or a rural Texas town, our billing team works remotely inside the EHR and practice management system you already use.
