How we bill in Arizona
Dermatology Medical Billing Consultants — the only specialty we code, appeal, and benchmark.

Why work with us
We offer personalized dermatology-only RCM support through an in-house team of certified coders, billers, and account managers. We reduce denials, improve cash flow, and solve complex billing challenges — plus credentialing, compliance reviews, and practice consulting for measurable results.
What we do
Generalist billers learn dermatology on your claims. We already speak it — every coder, every A/R specialist, every audit.
CPT 17000-series, 11100 biopsies, Mohs 17311+, and modifier 25/59 discipline reviewed by derm-only coders.
Root-cause denial work with payer-specific appeal templates. We rework, we don't write off.
Biologic and phototherapy authorizations tracked to approval before the patient is roomed.
Cosmetic vs. medical splits handled cleanly, with friendly digital statements and payment plans.
Provider-level RVU, payer mix, and per-visit yield dashboards benchmarked against derm peers.
Payer enrollment and revalidation for new derms, PAs, and satellite locations.
Dermatology only — nothing else
Every coder on your account is credentialed in dermatology, dermatopathology, and Mohs. Here is the code territory they live in.
Stage counting, same-day repair bundling, and closure-size documentation checked before submission.
Lesion counts, margins, and benign vs. malignant pathology reconciled against the op note.
Global vs. technical/professional splits, specimen units, and special stain support.
Buy-and-bill units, wastage modifier JW/JZ, and prior auth tracked to approval.
Body-surface-area thresholds and per-session frequency limits mapped payer by payer.
Split-encounter workflows so aesthetic revenue never contaminates a medical claim.
Every E/M paired with a same-day procedure passes a derm-specific documentation test before release.
1,100+ dermatology LCD, NCCI, and commercial edits maintained monthly across all 50 states.

One point of contact who knows your MAC, your payers, and your schedule.
Coding announcements
Our coders track CMS, MAC, and commercial payer bulletins weekly and update your scrub rules before the change hits your remits.
CMS consolidated the 15271–15278 family reporting rules and changed product payment to a single wound-care rate. Practices still billing the old way are seeing full-line denials.
High revenue impact
Destruction and biopsy add-on values moved again. Fee schedules loaded from 2025 will underpost expected reimbursement and hide underpayments on your remits.
Fee schedule refresh required
Commercial payers continue automated modifier 25 downcoding for E/M billed alongside lesion destruction. Documentation must show a separately identifiable service in the note itself.
Appeal-ready documentation needed
More plans now require step-therapy proof and photo documentation before approving psoriasis and atopic dermatitis biologics, with shorter re-auth windows.
Delays scheduling if missed
Global versus technical/professional split errors remain a top-five derm denial. POS mismatches between the clinic and the lab trigger automatic rejections.
Clean-claim risk
17311–17315 stage counts billed without matching stage-by-stage documentation, and repairs bundled incorrectly with the excision, are drawing post-payment review.

Compliance & security
Dermatology billing means constant contact with protected health information. Here is exactly how we protect it — and the paperwork we hand your compliance officer on day one.
A signed Business Associate Agreement is executed with every practice before we touch a single claim, chart note, or remittance file.
PHI is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest (AES-256). No PHI is ever exchanged over email, SMS, or consumer file-sharing tools.
Role-based access with MFA on every account. Staff see only the practices they are assigned to, and access is revoked same-day at offboarding.
Every view, edit, and export of PHI is logged and retained for six years, available to your compliance officer on request.
Background-checked coders and A/R specialists complete HIPAA privacy and security training at hire and annually thereafter.
Clearinghouse, hosting, and communication vendors are BAA-covered and reviewed annually. Subprocessor list available on request.
No ambiguity about who can see what, when. Documentation is provided in writing at each stage so your practice keeps a clean audit trail.
Before engagement
Mutual NDA, BAA execution, and a security questionnaire your compliance officer can file.
During onboarding
Named users provisioned in your PM/EHR with least-privilege roles — we never share logins.
Ongoing operations
Quarterly access reviews, annual risk assessment, and a documented 72-hour incident notification workflow.
At offboarding
