Harrisburg is Pennsylvania's capital and the heart of the central Pennsylvania healthcare market, with Penn State Health and UPMC as major systems and Capital Blue Cross as a leading insurer.
Medical Coder provides outsourced medical billing services in Harrisburg for independent practices and groups — from eligibility checks to final payment — so you get paid faster with fewer denials.
Harrisburg Medical Billing Built Around Pennsylvania Payers
Most avoidable denials start with payer rules. For Harrisburg practices we work every major payer in Pennsylvania:
- Medicaid: Pennsylvania Medical Assistance, administered by the Department of Human Services (DHS), through HealthChoices physical health plans such as UPMC for You, Keystone First, AmeriHealth Caritas Pennsylvania and Highmark Wholecare.
- Medicare: Part A and Part B claims through Novitas Solutions (Jurisdiction L), plus Medicare Advantage plans.
- Commercial plans: Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield, Independence Blue Cross, Capital Blue Cross, UPMC Health Plan, Geisinger Health Plan, Aetna and UnitedHealthcare.
- TRICARE and VA Community Care for military families and veterans.
Pennsylvania has payer rules of its own — see medical billing in Pennsylvania for how we handle them.
