Primary Care Medical Billing Services

Primary care billing isn’t straightforward for office visits. It’s preventive vs problem distinctions, chronic care management programs, and complexity documentation that general billers constantly miss.

One incorrect same-day visit code, one missed chronic care management opportunity, or one undercoded multi-problem visit—and $20K-$50K vanishes monthly.

Neo MD fixes that with primary care-certified coders, preventive care protocols, and CCM/TCM revenue capture workflows.

Why General Medical Billing Companies Fail Primary Care Practices

Primary care billing demands breadth of knowledge that generalists simply don’t have.

Preventive vs problem confusion

Can't separate same-day billing correctly

CCM blindspot

Never implement chronic care management (99490, 99491)

+

AWV documentation gaps

Miss required elements for annual wellness visits

E/M undercoding epidemic

Treat complex multi-problem visits as routine

TCM revenue loss

Don't capture transitional care after hospitalizations

+

Preventive add-on misses

Depression screening (96127), alcohol counseling never billed

Vaccine pairing errors

Incorrect product + administration code matching

Time-based coding failure

Don't capture counseling-dominant visits

Result: 22%–32% denial rates, systematic undercoding, and massive revenue leakage on value-based care services.

Our Process: Revenue Acceleration in 90 Days

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

 We begin with a comprehensive analysis of your last 90 days of billing data, examining every preventive visit for same-day problem billing opportunities, reviewing chronic care management eligibility across your patient panel, evaluating E/M code selection patterns for multi-problem visits, and assessing transitional care management capture after hospital discharges. Our team identifies denial patterns by service type and payer, examines preventive add-on opportunities like depression screening and alcohol counseling that were never billed, and reviews medical decision-making documentation quality for complex visits. You receive a detailed report showing exactly where revenue is leaking with specific examples of undercoded visits and the dollar amount being lost to each type of coding error or missed service opportunity.

Step 2 (Weeks 2-3)
Seamless Transition

Our implementation team coordinates a smooth transition with zero disruption to your practice operations or patient flow. We integrate with your EMR system whether you're using Epic, Athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, NextGen, Greenway, or any other platform, verify all payer enrollments and credentialing including Medicare and Medicaid participation, set up chronic care management workflows with patient enrollment protocols, establish transitional care management tracking systems, and provide comprehensive training to your physicians, nurses, and front desk staff on documentation requirements for preventive visits, modifier 25 usage, and time-based coding. Most practices have their first clean claims submitted within 10-12 business days.

Step 3 (Days 30-90)
Revenue Acceleration

This is where you see immediate financial impact. Our certified primary care coders begin capturing chronic care management revenue for your patients with multiple chronic conditions, implementing transitional care management billing for every hospital discharge, optimizing E/M coding to reflect the true complexity of multi-problem visits, and capturing preventive service add-ons like depression screening and alcohol counseling that were previously missed. We systematically rework and resubmit old denied claims for same-day visits and procedures. Within the first 30 days, most practices see noticeable cash flow improvement from CCM and TCM alone, and by day 90, our clients average a 22-27% revenue increase without extending office hours or adding appointment slots.

Step 4 (Ongoing)
Continuous Optimization

Revenue optimization doesn't stop at 90 days. We provide bi-weekly updates on preventive care and value-based payment changes as CMS policies evolve, conduct monthly E/M coding reviews with your providers to ensure continued accuracy and appropriate complexity capture, perform quarterly compliance audits on chronic care management documentation and time tracking, and deliver annual CPT code update training specific to primary care services. As your practice expands into new service lines like remote patient monitoring or behavioral health integration, we proactively research coverage policies and implement billing protocols to ensure maximum reimbursement from day one.

The Cost of Waiting

If you’re a primary care practice collecting $2.4M annually and losing 24% to billing inefficiencies:

$576,000

Per year in lost revenue

$2.88 million

Over 5 years

That’s hiring another physician, opening a second location, investing in care coordination staff, or launching comprehensive chronic disease management programs.

Every month you wait costs you $48,000 you'll never recover.

The question isn’t “Should I switch?”
The question is: “How much more am I willing to lose?”
