What we do

Complete billing, from signed note to paid claim

We code every visit, send and track every claim, post every payment, work every denial and unpaid claim, and bill your patients. Coverage is checked automatically before each visit and authorizations are tracked. You see every claim, live, in your dashboard.

Questions about scope

Coding and charge review, claim scrubbing and submission, payment posting, denials and appeals, accounts receivable (A/R) follow-up, patient statements and calls, a live dashboard and a monthly summary.

Coverage is checked automatically before every visit, and prior authorizations are tracked while your front desk requests them.

Credentialing and payer enrollment stay with your practice or your credentialing service. We bill under the enrollments you already have.

Your front desk requests them, and we track them: visits used against visits approved, and the dates authorizations and recertifications end. Your front desk is warned before they run out.

We check coverage electronically before every scheduled visit, including visit limits and deductibles, so no one waits on hold. Coverage problems go on your front desk's list before the visit, with the reason.

Collects insurance cards and keeps insurance details current, requests authorizations, and collects copays at the visit. Your clinicians document care. Mohenara does the rest.
