We Cover Your Specialty
Denials usually happen when paperwork isn’t complete, the wrong codes are used, or claims are submitted late. Keep clear, detailed records of every visit, dialysis session, or procedure. Use current CPT and ICD-10 codes, and double-check what each insurance requires. Training your billing staff regularly helps everyone stay on top of updates. Reviewing rejected claims carefully can also prevent the same mistakes from happening again.
In-center hemodialysis is billed using codes such as 90935 and 90937, which cover what happens in the clinic under physician oversight. Home dialysis uses codes such as 90945 and 90947. Home dialysis billing often requires extra documentation for training and remote monitoring. Knowing these differences ensures your claims are processed correctly and that payments aren’t delayed.
The ESRD 30-month coordination period is when private insurance pays first and Medicare picks up the rest. Billing during this time can be tricky because you have to follow specific coordination rules and make sure the right codes are used. Mistakes can cause delays or denied claims. Understanding how this period works helps your practice get paid on time and keeps ESRD patient care running smoothly.
Partnering with a nephrology billing expert allows your staff to focus on patient care instead of paperwork. Experienced billing teams make sure CKD, dialysis, vascular access, and ESRD claims are coded correctly, submitted on time, and followed up promptly if issues arise. This approach reduces administrative work, prevents missed revenue, and keeps your practice running smoothly while staying compliant with insurance and Medicare rules.
