Los Angeles is one of the largest and most competitive healthcare markets in the world, with world-class academic medical centers alongside thousands of independent practices and a very large Medi-Cal population served by plans such as L.A. Care and Health Net.
Medical Coder provides outsourced medical billing services in Los Angeles for independent practices and groups — from eligibility checks to final payment — so you get paid faster with fewer denials.
Los Angeles Medical Billing Built Around California Payers
Most avoidable denials start with payer rules. For Los Angeles 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 Los Angeles Practices
Los Angeles practices deal with Medi-Cal managed care, a dense web of IPAs and medical groups, and commercial PPOs — often all in the same week. We sort out which entity is responsible for each patient before the claim goes out.
