Peoria is a regional healthcare center for central Illinois and the home of OSF HealthCare, drawing patients from a wide rural region.
Practices across Peoria use Medical Coder's medical billing services to cut denials, shorten payment times and stop depending on a single in-house biller.
Peoria Medical Billing Built Around Illinois Payers
Most avoidable denials start with payer rules. For Peoria 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.
