Elgin is a growing city in the Fox Valley on Chicago's northwest edge, with practices serving a diverse mix of commercial, Medicaid and Medicare patients.
Medical Coder is an outsourced medical billing company serving Elgin practices of every size. We take over coding, claims, denials and A/R follow-up so your team can focus on patients.
Elgin Medical Billing Built Around Illinois Payers
Most avoidable denials start with payer rules. For Elgin practices we work every major payer in Illinois:
- Medicaid: Illinois Medicaid, administered by the Department of Healthcare and Family Services (HFS), through HealthChoice Illinois plans such as Blue Cross Community Health Plans, Meridian, Molina, Aetna Better Health of Illinois and CountyCare in Cook County.
- Medicare: Part A and Part B claims through National Government Services (Jurisdiction 6), plus Medicare Advantage plans.
- Commercial plans: Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois, UnitedHealthcare, Aetna, Cigna and Humana.
- TRICARE and VA Community Care for military families and veterans.
Illinois has payer rules of its own — see medical billing in Illinois for how we handle them.
