Long Beach is a major port city in southern Los Angeles County with its own established health systems and a large veteran community served by the VA Long Beach Healthcare System.
Medical Coder is an outsourced medical billing company serving Long Beach practices of every size. We take over coding, claims, denials and A/R follow-up so your team can focus on patients.
Long Beach Medical Billing Built Around California Payers
Most avoidable denials start with payer rules. For Long Beach practices we work every major payer in California:
- Medicaid: Medi-Cal, administered by the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS), and its county-based managed care plans such as L.A. Care, Health Net, CalOptima Health and Inland Empire Health Plan.
- Medicare: Part A and Part B claims through Noridian Healthcare Solutions (Jurisdiction E), plus Medicare Advantage plans.
- Commercial plans: Blue Shield of California, Anthem Blue Cross, Health Net, UnitedHealthcare, Aetna and Cigna, plus Kaiser Permanente referrals and out-of-network claims.
- TRICARE and VA Community Care for military families and veterans.
California has payer rules of its own — see medical billing in California for how we handle them.
Billing Challenges for Long Beach Practices
Long Beach practices often bill VA Community Care, Medi-Cal managed care and commercial plans side by side. Each has different authorization rules, and we make sure the right approval is on file before the visit.
