Work with us

What we do

Full revenue cycle, built only for skin.

Generalist billers learn dermatology on your claims. We already speak it — every coder, every A/R specialist, every audit.

Dermatology coding

CPT 17000-series, 11100 biopsies, Mohs 17311+, and modifier 25/59 discipline reviewed by derm-only coders.

Denial & appeal recovery

Root-cause denial work with payer-specific appeal templates. We rework, we don't write off.

Eligibility & prior auth

Biologic and phototherapy authorizations tracked to approval before the patient is roomed.

Patient A/R & statements

Cosmetic vs. medical splits handled cleanly, with friendly digital statements and payment plans.

Analytics & benchmarking

Provider-level RVU, payer mix, and per-visit yield dashboards benchmarked against derm peers.

Credentialing

Payer enrollment and revalidation for new derms, PAs, and satellite locations.

Dermatology only — nothing else

We don't bill 30 specialties. We bill skin, all day.

Every coder on your account is credentialed in dermatology, dermatopathology, and Mohs. Here is the code territory they live in.

17311–17315 · 14000s · 15000s

Mohs & reconstruction

Stage counting, same-day repair bundling, and closure-size documentation checked before submission.

17000–17004 · 11400s · 11600s

Destructions & excisions

Lesion counts, margins, and benign vs. malignant pathology reconciled against the op note.

88304 · 88305 · 88312 · 88342

Dermatopathology

Global vs. technical/professional splits, specimen units, and special stain support.

J-codes · 96372 · 96401

Biologics & injectables

Buy-and-bill units, wastage modifier JW/JZ, and prior auth tracked to approval.

96900 · 96910 · 96920–96922

Phototherapy & lasers

Body-surface-area thresholds and per-session frequency limits mapped payer by payer.

Self-pay separation

Cosmetic vs. medical

Split-encounter workflows so aesthetic revenue never contaminates a medical claim.

Modifier 25 / 59 engine

Every E/M paired with a same-day procedure passes a derm-specific documentation test before release.

Payer rule library

1,100+ dermatology LCD, NCCI, and commercial edits maintained monthly across all 50 states.

“Our old billing company treated Mohs stages like any other excision. Within one quarter of switching, our first-pass rate went from the low 80s to 98% and I stopped writing checks to cover payroll gaps.”

Where we work

Dermatology billing, state by state.

Our largest books sit in Arizona, California, Nevada, Texas, Florida, and New York — and we know each state's Medicaid plan, MAC jurisdiction, and prompt-pay clock by name.

  • New codesEffective Jan 1, 2026

    Skin substitute application codes restructured

    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

  • Policy change2026 MPFS

    Conversion factor and derm RVU shifts

    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

  • Audit targetActive payer focus

    Modifier 25 with same-day procedures

    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

  • Prior authRolling 2026

    Biologic and JAK inhibitor auth tightening

    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

  • DermpathOngoing

    TC/26 split and place-of-service edits

    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

  • MohsOngoing

    Stage and repair sequencing scrutiny

    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

Your PHI is handled like it never left the practice.

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.

BAA before any data moves

A signed Business Associate Agreement is executed with every practice before we touch a single claim, chart note, or remittance file.

Encrypted end to end

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.

Least-privilege access

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.

Full audit logging

Every view, edit, and export of PHI is logged and retained for six years, available to your compliance officer on request.

Trained, screened staff

Background-checked coders and A/R specialists complete HIPAA privacy and security training at hire and annually thereafter.

Vetted subprocessors

Clearinghouse, hosting, and communication vendors are BAA-covered and reviewed annually. Subprocessor list available on request.

The compliance process, step by step

No ambiguity about who can see what, when. Documentation is provided in writing at each stage so your practice keeps a clean audit trail.

  1. 01

    Before engagement

    Mutual NDA, BAA execution, and a security questionnaire your compliance officer can file.

  2. 02

    During onboarding

    Named users provisioned in your PM/EHR with least-privilege roles — we never share logins.

  3. 03

    Ongoing operations

    Quarterly access reviews, annual risk assessment, and a documented 72-hour incident notification workflow.

  4. 04

    At offboarding

    Access revoked within 24 hours and a written record-return or secure-destruction certificate issued.
