Medical Billing Services in South Carolina

"Revenue That Flows as Smoothly as the Palmetto Breeze"

South Carolina’s healthcare system is as diverse as its landscape — from rural community clinics in the Lowcountry to bustling specialty centers in Columbia and Greenville. But no matter where you practice, one challenge remains constant: getting paid on time. Turn South Carolina’s complicated billing landscape into an organized, predictable, and profitable system. Our team doesn’t just file claims; we optimize your revenue cycle, eliminate bottlenecks, and maintain compliance.

Common Billing Challenges in South Carolina

Even the most organized clinics in South Carolina face recurring billing headaches. Here’s how we help fix them:

✅ Frequent Medicaid Rejections: We handle SCDHHS and MCO submissions correctly the first time — including secondary payer setups and crossover claims.

✅ Missed Authorizations: Our pre-visit eligibility checks flag missing pre-auths before you deliver care.

Incorrect Modifiers: We apply South Carolina payer-specific modifier rules to avoid bundling issues and partial denials.

Underpayments and Delayed Reimbursements: We compare remits to contract rates and appeal underpayments within 3–5 business days.

CAQH and Credentialing Delays: We manage credentialing, revalidations, and payer enrollments to prevent reimbursement interruptions.

Your time belongs to your patients—not to payer portals. PracticeMate handles the rest.

Our Medical Billing Services

Eligibility & Benefits Verification

Before every encounter, we verify coverage, copays, and deductibles through payer portals like BlueChoice and Healthy Connections Medicaid, preventing claim rejections and surprise bills.

Medical Coding & Compliance

Our AAPC-certified coders ensure every CPT, HCPCS, and ICD-10 code is accurate, fully supported by documentation, and compliant with SCDHHS and federal payer guidelines: no mismatched codes, no denials.

Claims Scrubbing & Submission

We scrub claims using payer-specific edits and submit them within 24–48 hours of encounter entry. Each claim meets the exact format required by South Carolina Medicaid and MCOs, ensuring near-perfect acceptance rates.

Denial Management & Appeals

Our team tracks every denied or underpaid claim, identifies the root cause, and resubmits with complete documentation. We recover lost revenue fast and reduce recurring denial rates by up to 70%.

Accounts Receivable (A/R) Recovery

Old claims or unpaid balances? We specialize in recovering aged A/R, even those over 120 days old. Our follow-up team negotiates with payers to clear your overdue payments.

Provider Credentialing & Enrollment

We handle credentialing for Medicaid, Medicare, and commercial payers, including Select Health, Molina, and Absolute Total Care. Our team manages CAQH updates, revalidations, and renewals to keep your credentials active and your revenue flowing.

Patient Billing & Support

We simplify patient statements and support calls, helping your patients understand their balances clearly. This transparency improves collections and boosts patient satisfaction.

Compliance & Audit Assistance

We align your documentation and billing process with HIPAA, SCDHHS, and Palmetto GBA audit standards. Our preventive audit approach reduces penalties and ensures complete legal protection.

Our real-time dashboards provide visibility into claim trends, collection ratios, and payer performance. You’ll know exactly where your revenue stands — every day, without digging through spreadsheets.
