Why Nephrology Billing is So Challenging
Dialysis Billing Errors
Medicare dialysis billing (CPT codes 90935, 90937, etc.) is complex, and mistakes can result in costly denials.
ESRD Bundled Payments
CMS’s PPS model combines laboratory tests, medications, and services. Without proper tracking, practices underbill.
CKD Documentation Requirements
Nephrologists see ESRD patients monthly; missed notes = lost compliance + revenue.
High Audit Risk
Payers review nephrology claims closely, particularly those for dialysis and laboratory work.
Patient Collections
Rising deductibles mean patient responsibility accounts for a larger share of revenue.
Denials & AR
Denial rates can reach 15–20% in nephrology without expert intervention.

Medicare
Covers ESRD dialysis under the Prospective Payment System (PPS).
Monthly Capitation Payments (MCP) for patients with CKD and ESRD must meet strict documentation standards.
We ensure modifiers, frequency, and compliance with CMS’s bundled rules are always accurate.
Medicaid
Varies by state and requires close attention to pediatric nephrology, transplant coverage, and dialysis authorizations.
We track and adapt to state-specific policy changes to prevent payment disruptions and ensure uninterrupted service.
Commercial Insurance Plans
Prior authorizations are common for dialysis sessions, biologics, and high-cost labs.
We streamline prior authorization workflows and prevent denials caused by missed payer rules and regulations.
Medicare Advantage (MA)
Covers a growing percentage of ESRD patients—currently over 40% of dialysis patients are in MA plans.
Requires detailed encounter documentation and payer-specific billing adjustments.
Our team ensures smooth billing despite the added administrative layers.
