Medical Billing Services in Georgia

Helping Georgia Healthcare Providers Get Paid — Accurately and On Time

Running a medical practice in Georgia is rewarding, but keeping up with billing, insurance rules, and payer requirements is challenging. That’s a daily struggle. Whether you run a small primary care clinic in Macon or a multi-specialty group in Atlanta, revenue leaks, coding errors, and claim denials can eat away at your profits. That’s where we come in. Practice Mate helps Georgia-based providers simplify medical billing, improve collections, and stay compliant with both federal and state-specific regulations.

Common Billing Issues Georgia Practices Face

Even the most organized clinics in Georgia hit billing roadblocks. Here are some frequent headaches we help solve every day:

Delayed or denied claims

Due to coding mismatches or missing documentation.

Low reimbursement rates

From major payers like Blue Cross Blue Shield of Georgia, Cigna, and UnitedHealthcare.

Complex Medicaid billing rules

Especially for behavioral health and pediatric services.

Payer-specific modifiers and pre-authorization requirements

That vary across carriers.

Revenue leaks

From unposted ERAs, underpaid claims, or missed secondary billing.

Our Medical Billing Services in Georgia

We don’t just process claims—we manage the whole revenue cycle from patient check-in to final payment.

Patient Eligibility Verification

Our team verifies insurance coverage and benefits before each visit. We confirm co-pays, deductibles, and prior authorizations with Georgia payers such as Aetna, BCBSGA, and Cigna.

Medical Coding and Compliance

Our certified coders (CPCs and CCSs) ensure every claim meets Georgia-specific and federal billing regulations. We review documentation and apply correct CPT, ICD-10, and HCPCS codes.

Patient Registration

We start right at the front desk—ensuring all patient details, demographics, and insurance data are accurately entered. Proper registration helps prevent rejections and claim errors before they even start.

AR and Denial Management

We track every unpaid or denied claim. Our team appeals denials, identifies root causes, and prevents repeat issues — helping you recover thousands in lost revenue.

Claim Submission and Scrubbing

Before any claim leaves your practice, our billing specialists scrub it for coding accuracy, missing modifiers, and payer-specific rules. Clean claims mean faster reimbursements and fewer denials — period.

Patient Billing and Collections

We manage statements, payment plans, and patient inquiries to keep your collections steady and your staff stress-free.

Georgia-Specific Compliance & Regulations

Healthcare billing in Georgia isn’t just about clean claims — it’s about staying ahead of an evolving web of state and federal rules. One small oversight in documentation or coding can trigger payment delays, audits, or even compliance penalties. That’s why we keep your billing airtight and fully aligned with Georgia’s healthcare laws and payer requirements.

Here’s how we make sure your practice stays compliant at every step:

Georgia Medicaid Guidelines (GA MMIS)

We stay up to date with the Georgia Medicaid Management Information System (GAMMIS) to ensure your claims meet every requirement — from EPSDT (Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic, and Treatment) standards for pediatric services to telehealth and managed care billing protocols. We handle Medicaid and its Managed Care Organizations (Peach State, Amerigroup, and CareSource) with precision — no guesswork, no missed revenue.

Prompt Pay Laws

Under Georgia’s Prompt Pay Law (O.C.G.A. §33-24-59.5), insurers must pay all “clean claims” within 15 days for electronic submissions and 30 days for paper claims. We track payer timelines closely, escalate delays, and file appeals when carriers fail to meet their payment obligations — so your practice never leaves money on the table.

HIPAA and PHI Standards:

Patient data security isn’t optional — it’s essential. Our systems comply with all HIPAA, HITECH, and PHI protection standards to safeguard every piece of patient information. From encrypted file transfers to restricted system access, we treat your data like it’s our own — secure, private, and fully compliant.

State Licensure and Scope of Practice Rules

Georgia has specific scope-of-practice laws that affect billing for nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and behavioral health professionals. We ensure your claims reflect the correct provider type, supervision requirements, and service limitations defined by the Georgia Composite Medical Board (GCMB) and DCH, keeping your billing accurate and audit-proof.

No Surprises Act & Balance Billing Restrictions

We also keep your practice aligned with the federal No Surprises Act and Georgia’s own balance billing rules. This helps you stay transparent about costs while avoiding compliance pitfalls when treating patients with out-of-network insurance plans.
