Albany is New York's capital and the hub of the Capital Region, where regional payers such as CDPHP and MVP Health Care cover a large share of patients alongside state-employee plans.
If you are comparing medical billing companies in Albany, Medical Coder gives you a full billing department — certified coders, A/R specialists and one dedicated account manager — for a percentage of what we collect.
Albany Medical Billing Built Around New York Payers
Most avoidable denials start with payer rules. For Albany practices we work every major payer in New York:
- Medicaid: New York Medicaid, administered by the Department of Health through eMedNY, and Medicaid managed care plans such as Fidelis Care, Healthfirst, MetroPlus Health and EmblemHealth.
- Medicare: Part A and Part B claims through National Government Services (Jurisdiction K), plus Medicare Advantage plans.
- Commercial plans: Empire BlueCross BlueShield, Excellus BCBS, Highmark BCBS of Western New York, EmblemHealth, MVP Health Care, CDPHP, Independent Health, UnitedHealthcare, Aetna and Cigna.
- TRICARE and VA Community Care for military families and veterans.
New York has payer rules of its own — see medical billing in New York for how we handle them.
