Lancaster County combines a growing city with rural communities, including a large Plain community where many patients pay for care themselves instead of using insurance.
Practices across Lancaster use Medical Coder's medical billing services to cut denials, shorten payment times and stop depending on a single in-house biller.
Lancaster Medical Billing Built Around Pennsylvania Payers
Most avoidable denials start with payer rules. For Lancaster 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.
