Learn More| Delaware Payer Reality | The Generic Billing Trap | The MD Revenue Group Approach |
|---|---|---|
| DSHP Tri-MCO Structure | Allowing provider credentialing to lapse with one of the three DSHP MCOs, blocking a third of Medicaid volume. | We run synchronized enrollment audits across Highmark Health Options, AmeriHealth Caritas, and Delaware First Health. |
| Highmark DE Precertification | Delivering outpatient specialty care without verifying Highmark NaviNet pre-authorization, leading to uncollectible denials. | We implement automated electronic prior authorization workflows aligned with Highmark Delaware medical policies. |
| Novitas JL Medicare LCDs | Billing modifier 25 on complex office visits without distinct documentation, leading to Novitas JL claim reductions. | We enforce stand-alone clinical notes that substantiate separate medical decision-making under Novitas JL rules. |
| Mid-Atlantic Border Crossovers | Failing to properly identify home BlueCard plans for PA, MD, and NJ commuters, causing crossover forfeiture. | We verify patient home plan IDs at check-in and ensure timely secondary crossover routing across state borders. |
