Pediatric Medical Billing Services

Pediatric billing is deceptively complex. One wrong modifier on a sick visit + well-check combo, one missed vaccine administration code, or one age-based CPT error—and you're losing $8K-$20K monthly.

Neo MD fixes that with pediatric-certified coders who understand age-based code selection, vaccine billing matrices, and how to bill same-day sick + well visits without denials.

Why General Medical Billing Companies Fail Pediatric Practices

Pediatric billing requires specialty expertise that general billers don’t have.

Age-based coding chaos

Can't select the correct preventive visit codes by age

VFC documentation blindspot

Don't handle state-supplied vaccine billing

Sick and well confusion

Can't properly code same-day visits

Vaccine administration miss

Don't bill counseling component separately

Developmental screening errors

Don't capture 96110/96127 opportunities

Medical necessity gaps

Can't document behavioral health screenings

Prolonged service underbilling

Don't track time for 99354/99355

Care coordination blindspot

Miss chronic care management billing (99490)

Result: 15%–22% denial rates, 45-60 day payment cycles, and constant staff time wasted on resubmissions.

Our Process: Revenue Acceleration in 90 Days

Step 1 (Week 1)
Free 90-Day Revenue Diagnostic

 Complete analysis of your billing data:

We analyze denial patterns with a focus on same-day visits and vaccine services, identify undercoding opportunities in preventive visits and newborn care, assess vaccine billing accuracy, and uncover documentation gaps. You receive a detailed report that clearly shows where revenue is leaking and the exact recovery potential for each area.

Step 2 (Weeks 2-3)
Seamless Transition

Our process ensures zero disruption to cash flow or patient care while payer enrollment and credentialing are fully verified. Staff receive targeted training on documentation requirements, and EMR integration is completed seamlessly. As a result, most practices submit their first clean claims within 10–12 business days.

Step 3 (Days 30-90)
Revenue Acceleration

Practices see an immediate improvement in claim acceptance rates as previously denied claims are reworked and successfully recovered. Vaccine coding accuracy improves to 99%+, same-day visit denials are eliminated, and cash flow improvements become visible within the first month. On average, practices achieve a 21–26% revenue increase by day 90.

Step 4 (Ongoing)
Continuous Optimization

We provide bi-weekly performance reports, conduct monthly strategy calls, and perform quarterly compliance audits to ensure sustained accuracy. Annual coding updates—including CPT, ICD-10, and vaccine-related changes—keep your practice fully compliant. The long-term impact is consistent, year-over-year revenue growth as documentation and coding accuracy continue to improve.
