Skip to content Credex Healthcare provides family practice billing services for solo clinics, group practices, DSOs, and multispecialty practices dealing with slow reimbursements, high denial rates, and a front desk that spends more time on the phone with insurers than with patients. CDT codes, pre-authorization requirements, frequency limitations, and fee schedule adjustments all must be right on every claim before it goes out. Our family practice billing specialists know those rules across dozens of carriers.
Credex Healthcare’s family practice revenue cycle management handles every one of those steps, so your practice gets paid on time, and your team stays focused on patient care.

Pre-authorization & benefits verification
Credex Healthcare runs a dedicated family practice billing process that checks every claim against the treating dentist’s clinical notes, the patient’s active benefit plan, the payer’s CDT code coverage policies, and any pre-authorization requirement that applies before submission. When family practices make billing mistakes, they are costly to fix after the claim has been sent in. We check for incorrect E/M visit scopes, missed annual wellness examinations, incorrect vaccination dates, and frequency-limit problems before we send the case, not after the EOB comes back erroneous.
Our family practice billing services in the USA cover the following:
Claims are submitted with verified CPT codes, accurate routine visits and follow-ups, attached radiographs where required, and pre-authorization on file for applicable procedures. Our team tracks adjudication status and follows up before timely filing limits are at risk.
We manage provider enrollment for practitioners with major commercial networks, Medicaid family practice programs, and managed family practice plans, cutting the wait between joining a network and billing from the first appointment.
Denied claims are reviewed within 48 hours. Whether the rejection stemmed from a frequency limitation, a missing claim detail, a failed downgrade, or an attachment error, our team addresses the issue and resubmits the documentation that the specific payer requires.
Our family practice billing specialists audit procedure notes against common CPT codes 99213, 99214, 99395, and 99396 to confirm complexity levels, follow-up types, and supporting documentation match what was billed.
Pre-authorization of family practice procedures is required by most carriers for chronic care, immunization, and diagnostic procedures. We initiate, track, and document authorizations before treatment is scheduled, so no major procedure is billed without payer approval on file.
End-to-end RCM covers benefits verification, charge entry, write-off calculation, payment posting, patient balance management, and monthly reporting, so practice owners have an accurate picture of collections at every stage.
As a dedicated family practice billing company in the USA, Credex Healthcare keeps up with changes to fee schedules by carrier, changes to Medicaid family practice coverage by state, and the most recent pre-authorization rules for major corrective and interventional treatments. Delta, Cigna, MetLife, Aetna, and United Concordia all have very different documentation standards. Most generalist billers don’t follow this rule, which means that they apply a crown code as a three-surface amalgam because the plan lowers all-ceramic restorations. As a result, family practice offices receive less reimbursement.
We manage family practice insurance billing across major commercial carriers, including Delta, Cigna, MetLife, Aetna, United Concordia, Guardian, and Humana, applying the correct fee schedule and frequency limitations for each plan.
Medicaid family practice coverage rules and covered CPT codes differ by state. Some states require prior authorization for point-of-care testing and long-term-care arrangements. Our team manages Medicaid family practice billing with state-specific code sets and prior-approval workflows.
For family practice service organizations and group practices operating multiple locations, we coordinate provider credentialing, location-level NPI billing, and payer enrollments across all sites under a single managed workflow with consolidated financial reporting.
Family practice claims fail for specific, preventable reasons: inaccurate modifiers, unspecified procedure complexity, expired or missing pre-authorizations, and CPT codes that do not match the chart. Credex Healthcare reviews all of that before submission, so the claim is submitted without flagged errors.
Every family care billing under your practice is verified for active state licensure, valid NPI, correct provider taxonomy, and current enrollment status with each payer before claims are sent under their credentials.
We audit clinical notes against CPT codes, including low- to high-complexity patient visits (99213 & 99214), preventive medicine visits (99395 & 99396), and supporting documentation that match the procedure billed.
Pre-Authorization Tracking
Authorization status is tracked for every major interventional and preventive medicine procedure before treatment is performed. Approval numbers are documented and attached to claims at submission. Expired authorizations are renewed before the patient is rescheduled.
Family Practice Documentation Requirements
Payers require specific attachments for different procedure types: EKG scans, spirometry, and rapid test results for COVID-19 and strep diseases. We track each payer’s needs and attach them before submission.
Accounts Receivable Follow-Up
Family practice AR is reviewed weekly. Unpaid claims are pursued before the timely filing limits close. Underpayments are checked against the fee schedule or Medicaid rate, and short payments are disputed with the supporting clinical documentation.
Family care providers lose revenue in ways that are easy to overlook month to month. Procedures are written off because the pre-authorization expired before the appointment. The vaccine coverage was denied because the product-specific code was not included. Medicaid claims for children were turned down because of a lost prior approval that no one kept track of. The family practice billing process at Credex Healthcare finds these problems during the paperwork step, before the chair is set up, rather than after the payment is returned.
End-to-end family practice insurance billing from charge entry and CPT code review to electronic submission with required attachments across commercial plans, Medicaid, and managed family practice programs.
Our family practice billing specialists apply the correct family practice CPT codes and modifiers for every procedure type, with the right attachments and supporting notes, cutting denials from documentation and family practice billing errors.
Pre-Authorization Management
Pre-authorization for family practice procedures is tracked from request through approval and attached to the claim before the patient returns for the scheduled treatment.
Denial management for family practice claims covers frequency-limitation disputes, diagnostic scan attachment corrections, narrative appeals for medical necessity, and Medicaid prior-approval errors. Each appeal is built around what that specific carrier requires.
Provider enrollment covers new family care practitioner applications, provider credentialing where applicable, and ongoing recredentialing, so billing never stalls because a provider's network status lapses at renewal.
Monthly reports show collections by provider and payer, denial trends by reason code, payer write-off totals versus expected, AR aging, and family practice billing turnaround time, giving practice administrators actual numbers to efficiently manage their businesses.

“Claim denials for office visits were killing us. About one in four came back with a frequency-limitation rejection or a missing narrative, and the front desk did not have time to chase every one of them. Credex Healthcare took over the bills, and the first thing they did was fix the way attachments work. In just six weeks, more than 90% of claims were approved. Before I saw what changed, I didn’t know how much money we were throwing away.”
Practice Administrator
Keira
“Family practice billing for kids on Medicaid is a whole other world. It uses a different set of codes, needs to be approved before it can be used, and has strict standards for paperwork. Before we hired Credex, our billing business handled it like any other commercial billing works, and we were constantly behind in paying Medicaid claims. Credex knew the rules for each state from the start, and the Medicaid AR was paid off in the last quarter.”
MD
Elise
“Periodic billing is hard because the paperwork needed for CoCM and integrated care treatment varies by payer and changes too quickly for most billers to keep up. Credex updates its payment tips all the time. When claims are sent out, they have the correct medical and procedural overview, and the accurate CPT code for what we performed. That number dropped from 24% to about 5% in 3 months.”
CFO
Derek
“Before Credex, it was a pain to keep track of family practice bills for 23 doctors on 5 sites. It was impossible for us to see which sites were doing well and which were losing AR. Credex put everything into one system and made sure that all sites followed the same credentialing process. Now I get a monthly report that shows collections, rejections, and write-offs broken down by location. Just having that much access changed how we run the group.”
Facility Administrator
Kento
“Most family practice billing companies are not set up to handle immunization claims because they involve pre-approvals, medical cross-billing, and paperwork that is special to each payer. Credex has experts who know about both the ICD-10 medical diagnosis side of billing vaccination histories. In the first two months, my clearance rate for immunization cases went up a lot, and pre-authorization denials pretty much stopped.”
Practice Assessment
We check your present family practice billing process, including how long accounts are past due by payer, the history of denials by reason code, the accuracy of your fee schedule, and how you track pre-authorizations. This makes it easy to see where groups are lacking and what needs to be fixed first.
Credentialing & Payer Enrollment
Every interventionist and family care practitioner is verified for active enrollment with each commercial network and Medicaid program in your payer mix. Any gaps in provider credentialing are resolved before new claims are submitted.
Pre-Authorization Setup
We identify every procedure type in your practice that requires pre-authorization by payer, build a tracking process for open authorizations, and flag pending treatments that need approval before the patient's next appointment.
Clean Claim Submission
Our family practice billing specialists review clinical notes and charge entry, verify CPT codes and supplementary, attach required diagnostic scans and narratives, and submit claims electronically to all commercial carriers, Medicaid, and managed care family practice programs.
Denial Management & Follow-Up
Every claim is tracked through adjudication. Denials are reviewed within 48 hours. Frequency-limitation disputes and missing-attachment corrections are each handled with a targeted response, rather than a generic resubmission.
Reporting & Ongoing Optimization
Monthly reports cover collections by provider and location, denial trends by payer and reason, write-off tracking, AR aging, and family practice billing turnaround time. Recurring errors are corrected at the documentation level, so the same problem does not show up in the next cycle.
Family practice billing is not the same as medical billing. On the family practice billing side, there are different CPT codes, paperwork needs, payer drop rules, frequency limit monitoring, and pre-authorization processes than on the medical billing side. Practices that use general billing companies for family practice claims must deal with repeated rejections and lower payments to cover the shortfall. Family practice revenue cycle management is what Credex Healthcare does because it requires billing experts who work with family practice claims every day.
We know how the downgrade rules apply for Delta, Aetna, MetLife, and Cigna. We also know how Medicaid family practice prior authorization works by state, how wellness examination requirements change by treatment and by carrier, and where family practices’ billing errors most often occur.
There is a dedicated family practice billing expert who works only for your practice. This expert knows all of your treatment mixes, payer contracts, prior-authorization records, and your CPT code trends.
Administrators of family practice practices can see monthly reports that show the real state of their finances. These reports show collections by provider and payment, rejection reasons, commercial carrier write-off totals versus the fee schedule, AR aging, and family practice billing response time.
End-to-end HIPAA compliance procedures protect all patient data, EHRs, scans, and treatment documentation that is handled during the payment process. Every system your practice uses for billing follows strict security rules and keeps track of who can access it.
Family practice providers lose revenue in predictable monthly patterns. Crown claims get denied because the pre-auth expired. CoCM claims were rejected because the bundling of services was not specified. Medicaid claims are sitting unpaid because the prior approval number was missing. These are not one-off billing mistakes. They are workflow gaps that an audit identifies in the first few weeks, and that a structured billing process eliminates going forward.
As a first step, Credex Healthcare will do a free audit of your present family practice billing. This will include checking your accounts receivable, rejection history by reason code, CPT code correctness, pre-authorization tracking, and provider enrollment status. You do not have to make a promise to get that rating. We figure out the revenue loss that can be recouped and the process reforms that will prevent it from occurring next month.
The process of submitting bills for family practice providers to commercial plans, Medicaid family practice programs, and managed care family practice insurance is called family practice billing. Every treatment is assigned a CPT code, linked to the patient’s current benefit plan, and endorsed with the necessary attachments, such as clinical reports and diagnostic scans.
Family practice billing uses CPT codes that are made public and updated yearly. The following codes are often billed: routine office visits for new and established patients, annual physical and wellness check-ups, chronic care E/M, injection administration, and point-of-care diagnostics. Comprehensive mapping of modifiers on such codes is applied for specifications.
Coverage varies based on the type of plan the patient has and the type of treatment. Most commercial payers cover 100% of the cost of common interventional procedures, while others provide 50% coverage for critical surgical procedures. Different states have entirely unique Medicaid family practice plans for adults. Some states only cover office visits, while others cover remote visits as well.
It takes most commercial family practice plans 30 to 40 days to handle clean digital claims. Medicaid family practice plans usually pay within 60 to 75 days, but this can change from state to state. These problems are found by Credex Healthcare’s pre-submission review before the claim is sent out. This keeps most family practice claims on the faster end of the family practice billing turnaround time and cuts down on the back-and-forth with carriers that slows payment.
