Your Family Practice Deserves Billing That Keeps Up With Everything You Do

Family medicine is one of the most complex specialties to bill. Every patient visit is different, payers keep changing their rules, and your front desk can only do so much. Theiatrics handles the billing โ€” precisely, reliably, and without you having to think about it.

โš ๏ธ
E/M Undercoding
Many family practices consistently bill lower E/M levels than the documentation supports โ€” losing hundreds per visit.
โš ๏ธ
Preventive + Problem Visit Errors
Incorrectly bundling or separating preventive and sick visits is one of the most common family medicine billing mistakes.
โš ๏ธ
Medicare Wellness Visit Confusion
AWV vs. IPPE vs. CCM โ€” Medicare's preventive billing rules are a maze that costs practices real reimbursement.
โš ๏ธ
Referral Auth Delays
Missed or lapsed prior authorizations for specialist referrals and diagnostics create gaps in care and in revenue.
โš ๏ธ
Telehealth Coding Gaps
Telehealth billing rules differ by payer and change often โ€” and incorrect place-of-service codes lead to immediate rejections.

The Real Challenge

Family Medicine Billing Looks Simple From the Outside. It Isn't.

Family practice physicians see everything โ€” acute illness, chronic disease management, preventive care, minor procedures, pediatric visits, geriatric checkups, and telehealth follow-ups, sometimes all in the same afternoon. That variety is exactly what makes billing so difficult to get right.

E/M coding alone changed significantly with the 2021 AMA guidelines, and many practices are still leaving money on the table because their coding hasn't caught up. Preventive care mixed with a problem-oriented visit? That requires knowing when to bill both services and how to document them so insurance doesn't bundle them into one. Annual wellness visits under Medicare? A different set of rules entirely.

Add in prior authorizations for referrals and imaging, multiple payer contracts with different fee schedules, and the constant churn of Medicaid and Medicare policy updates โ€” and it becomes clear why family practice billing needs more than a generalist approach. It needs a team that knows primary care inside and out.

WHO WE WORK WITH

Solo practice or multi-site group โ€” our billing services are built to fit your workflow, not the other way around.
๐Ÿง‘โ€โš•๏ธ

Scalable billing operations that keep pace as your provider count and patient volume grow โ€” with consistent quality across every claim.

๐Ÿ‘ถ

Pediatric & Family Combo Practices

We handle the nuances of billing across age groups โ€” well-child visits, developmental screenings, and adult chronic disease management, all in one workflow.

๐Ÿฅ

Community Health Centers (FQHCs)

FQHC billing has unique cost-reporting and encounter rate requirements. We understand the rules and help you maximize your federal reimbursements.

๐Ÿ’ป

Telehealth-Forward Practices

If virtual care is a significant part of your practice model, we make sure every telehealth encounter is billed correctly โ€” across every payer you work with.

๐ŸŒฟ

Concierge & Direct Primary Care

Hybrid models with both membership and insurance billing? We handle the complexity so your model stays viable and your patients stay happy.

WHAT WE HANDLE

Complete Family Practice Billing Services, End to End

We take ownership of your entire revenue cycle โ€” from eligibility checks on Monday morning to payment posting at the end of the week.
๐Ÿ”

Insurance Verification & Eligibility

We check every patientโ€™s insurance before their appointment โ€” benefits, deductibles, copays, referral requirements, and plan exclusions. Your front desk saves hours, and billing surprises go away.

๐Ÿงพ

E/M Coding & Charge Capture

Our certified coders review clinical documentation and assign the correct E/M level every time โ€” under the updated 2021 AMA guidelines. No undercoding. No upcoding. Just accurate billing that reflects the care you actually delivered.

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ

Prior Authorization Management

We handle prior auth requests for referrals, imaging, procedures, and specialty medications. Our team follows up until authorizations are confirmed โ€” so your patients arenโ€™t stuck waiting and your revenue isnโ€™t held up.

๐Ÿ“ค

Claims Submission & Tracking

Every claim goes out clean and on time. We submit electronically to all major commercial payers, Medicare, and Medicaid โ€” and track every claim from submission to payment, with proactive follow-up on anything that stalls.

๐Ÿšซ

Denial Management & Appeals

Denials happen. We donโ€™t accept them and move on. Our team analyzes every denial, identifies the root cause, and submits a documented appeal. The result is a significantly higher collection rate and less revenue written off unnecessarily.

๐Ÿ›๏ธ

Medicare & Medicaid Billing

Government payer billing comes with its own rules โ€” AWVs, CCM, RPM, quality reporting, and MIPS compliance. We handle all of it accurately, so you capture every Medicare and Medicaid dollar available to your practice.

๐Ÿ’ป

Telehealth Billing

We apply the correct place-of-service codes, telehealth CPT modifiers, and payer-specific rules for every virtual visit. As telehealth policies continue to evolve, our team stays current so your billing doesnโ€™t fall behind.

๐Ÿ‘ค

Provider Credentialing

New provider joining your practice? We handle payer enrollment and re-credentialing across commercial networks, Medicare, and Medicaid โ€” so your providers can bill in-network from their very first patient visit.

๐Ÿ“Š

Reporting & Revenue Analytics

Monthly reports that make sense โ€” payer-by-payer collection rates, denial trends, average reimbursement per visit, and AR aging summaries. Youโ€™ll always know where your money is and where thereโ€™s room to improve.

Coding Expertise

Getting E/M Coding Right Is Where Most Family Practices Lose the Most Money

The 2021 AMA revisions to office-based E/M codes were the biggest change to primary care billing in decades. The old documentation requirements based on history, exam, and medical decision-making were replaced with a simplified MDM-focused or total time-based approach.

That's good news โ€” when it's used correctly. Practices that updated their documentation and coding to reflect the new rules saw immediate reimbursement gains. Practices that didn't are still billing lower E/M levels than they should be, quietly losing revenue on every visit.

Our coders train specifically on family medicine documentation patterns. We know how to read your notes and assign the right code โ€” whether it's a straightforward acute visit, a complex chronic disease management encounter, or a combined preventive and problem visit billed with modifier 25.

Why Theiatrics

We Know Family Medicine Billing. Not Just Medical Billing in General.

Most medical billing companies handle dozens of specialties. That sounds like a strength, but in practice it often means your family medicine claims get handled by someone who's more familiar with orthopedic billing or cardiology coding than primary care documentation.

At Theiatrics, our family practice billing specialists know the CPT codes, the payer quirks, and the documentation patterns that matter in primary care. They know that a 99214 isn't just about how long the visit took. They know that billing a preventive visit and a problem visit on the same day requires specific documentation โ€” and exactly what that documentation needs to say.

You get a dedicated specialist who knows your practice, not a rotating help desk. And you stay informed with real reporting every month, not vague "we handled it" updates.

  • Primary Care Billing Specialists Our team trains on family medicine and primary care billing โ€” not a generic pool of billers rotating across specialties.
  • 2021 AMA E/M Guideline Expertise We use the updated guidelines to code accurately and capture the revenue your documentation actually supports.
  • Performance-Based Pricing We earn a percentage of what we collect โ€” so our incentives are perfectly aligned with yours. You collect more; we earn more.
  • Works With Your EHR We integrate with athenahealth, Epic, eClinicalWorks, Kareo, DrChrono, and most other primary care platforms.
  • No Long-Term Contracts Month-to-month only. We believe you should stay because the results are good โ€” not because you're locked in.
  • A Dedicated Specialist, Not a Ticket Queue You have a named point of contact who knows your payer mix, your providers, and your billing history.
