Why Medical Practices in Texas Lose Revenue to Billing Errors
Billing in Texas means working to short, unforgiving deadlines. Texas Medicaid claims must reach TMHP within 95 days of the date of service, and most STAR, STAR+PLUS and STAR Kids managed care plans apply the same 95-day limit. Under the Texas Prompt Pay Act, providers billing state-regulated HMO and PPO plans also have 95 days to file, and a claim that misses the window is forfeited rather than paid late, which is why tracking filing limits by payer matters from day one.
Payer mix adds more pressure. A single Texas practice may bill Novitas for traditional Medicare, several Medicare Advantage plans, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas, UnitedHealthcare, Aetna and Medicaid managed care plans such as Superior, Molina and Wellpoint, each with different edits, prior authorization lists and portals. Patients move in and out of Medicaid eligibility, so a policy that was active last month may be gone today, and lapsed coverage remains one of the most common reasons insurance companies deny claims. Many practices also leave money on the table by not tracking prompt pay deadlines, which require state-regulated carriers to pay clean claims within 30 days electronically or 45 days on paper. The result is timely filing denials, unpaid penalties and growing AR.
How Our Medical Billing Services Help Texas Practices Increase Revenue
MedLife MBS handles the complete revenue cycle for Texas practices, from eligibility checks before the visit to the last dollar collected. Our billers and certified coders work Texas payers every day. They know which plans fall under state prompt pay rules, how TMHP and the Medicaid managed care organizations process claims and which Medicare Advantage plans require prior authorization for common services. Every claim is checked against payer-specific requirements before submission, with filing deadlines tracked individually to prevent missed windows. For late payments from state-regulated insurers, we identify eligible prompt payment penalties and follow up on amounts owed. Practice owners receive monthly KPI reports covering clean claim rates, denials, AR days, and net collections. Our services are available as complete outsourced billing or individual support for in-house teams, with consistent tracking and reporting across all locations.
- Eligibility and benefits verification: Our eligibility verification services confirm Medicare, Medicaid and commercial coverage before each visit, including Medicaid managed care plan assignment that can change month to month.
- Medical coding and charge entry: Certified coders assign CPT, HCPCS and ICD-10 codes with the correct modifiers for your specialty, and charges are entered daily so every claim is filed well inside the 95-day limit.
- Texas Medicaid and TMHP billing: We submit claims to TMHP and the STAR, STAR+PLUS, STAR Kids and CHIP managed care plans, track each plan’s rules and resubmit rejected claims before the filing deadline passes.
- Credentialing and payer enrollment: Our credentialing services handle Medicare, Texas Medicaid and commercial enrollment for new providers and locations, so claims are not held while applications are pending.
- Denial management and prompt pay follow-up: Our denial management team corrects and appeals denied claims, and late payments from state-regulated plans are checked for prompt pay penalties.
- AR follow-up and patient billing: Aging claims are worked by payer and age bucket through our accounts receivable management services, and patient statements go out on a consistent schedule.
How Our Medical Billing Process Works From Day One
- Free billing audit: We review recent claims, denials and AR aging by payer to find where revenue is leaking, then agree on baseline figures and target KPIs.
- System and payer setup: Our team connects to your EHR, practice management system and clearinghouse, confirms Medicare, TMHP and commercial enrollment and maps your fee schedules.
- Filing deadline mapping: Every payer is set up with its own timely filing, appeal and prior authorization rules, including the 95-day Medicaid and prompt pay limits.
- Daily claim production: Charges are coded, scrubbed and submitted every business day, and documentation questions go back to the provider the same day.
- Denial and AR management: Denials are appealed where justified and logged by root cause, while aging balances and late prompt pay claims are followed up until resolved.
- Monthly performance review: Your dedicated account manager reviews clean claim rate, denials, AR days and collections with you and agrees on next steps.
