If your Fort Lauderdale practice is losing time to denials, underpayments or aging A/R, The Medical Billing can take over billing and coding end to end. We work with physicians, specialty groups and labs across Broward County, Florida.
Medical Billing for Fort Lauderdale's Healthcare Market
Healthcare in Fort Lauderdale is anchored by Broward Health Medical Center, Holy Cross Health, Memorial Healthcare System and Cleveland Clinic Weston. Independent practices here refer to — and receive referrals from — those systems every day, which means accurate referring-provider data, prior authorizations and place-of-service coding are essential to getting paid. We set up those details correctly at charge entry instead of fixing them after a denial.
Florida Payer Rules We Handle for Fort Lauderdale Practices
- Medicare: Part B claims go to First Coast Service Options; Medicare Advantage claims go to the patient's private plan with its own authorization rules.
- Medicaid: Florida Medicaid is run by the Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA), and most members are in Statewide Medicaid Managed Care (SMMC) plans.
- Commercial plans: we bill Florida Blue, UnitedHealthcare, Aetna and Cigna and the employer plans common in Broward County.
- Local detail: Florida has one of the highest Medicare Advantage enrollment rates in the country, so many "Medicare" patients are actually billed to a private plan with its own prior-authorization and referral rules.
