Pittsburgh's healthcare market is shaped by two integrated systems — UPMC and Allegheny Health Network — and their affiliated insurers, UPMC Health Plan and Highmark.
If you are comparing medical billing companies in Pittsburgh, Medical Coder gives you a full billing department — certified coders, A/R specialists and one dedicated account manager — for a percentage of what we collect.
Pittsburgh Medical Billing Built Around Pennsylvania Payers
Most avoidable denials start with payer rules. For Pittsburgh 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.
