Trusted Medical Billing Partner
Medical Billing Services in Easton
Easton sits at the eastern edge of the Lehigh Valley, sharing the region’s HealthChoices structure with Allentown and Bethlehem, while its own patient base includes Lafayette College’s student population alongside a referral pattern split between St. Luke’s and Lehigh Valley Health Network facilities. Techera Med Systems builds billing for Easton practices around that mix and Pennsylvania’s statewide behavioral health carve-out and No-Fault structure.
How Much Does Medical Billing Cost in Easton?
Techera Med Systems charges a percentage of monthly collections, starting as low as 2.95%, with no separate setup fee. The rate is set by claim volume, specialty, and whether the practice needs credentialing support alongside standard billing.
Lafayette College Student Health Billing
Lafayette College enrolls a residential student population that carries its own student health insurance plan (SHIP) requirements for students without comparable coverage, distinct from a typical commercial payer’s network rules and claims administrator. Easton-area practices near campus see this claim type regularly.
✔ Student health insurance plan (SHIP) verification and claims submission
✔ Standard commercial and Medicaid billing for the rest of a practice’s patient panel
HealthChoices and Behavioral Health Carve-Out Billing (Shared Lehigh Valley Structure)
Easton sits in Northampton County, under the same Lehigh-Capital HealthChoices zone covered on our Allentown and Bethlehem pages. Behavioral health is carved out to a county-based BH-MCO entirely separate from the physical-health HealthChoices plan.
✔ Physical health (Lehigh-Capital Zone) HealthChoices claims submission
✔ Behavioral health credentialing verification against the county-based BH-MCO
✔ Charge entry, payment posting, and AR follow-up
No-Fault (First Party Benefits) Billing for Easton Practices
Pennsylvania is a “choice no-fault” state, requiring at least $5,000 in first-party medical benefits per driver regardless of fault, with insurers required to offer coverage up to $100,000.
✔ First-party benefits (PIP) claims billed against the policy’s actual medical benefit limit
✔ Standard commercial and Medicaid billing for the rest of a practice’s patient panel
Medical Coding and Denial Management for Easton Practices
An Easton practice’s patient panel can include Lafayette SHIP, HealthChoices behavioral health, and first-party benefit claims. Certified coders assign ICD-10-CM, CPT, and HCPCS Level II codes against whichever category applies. For denials, we investigate the root cause, correct and resubmit within the payer’s filing window, and track Pennsylvania’s prompt-pay requirements.
✔ ICD-10-CM, CPT, and HCPCS Level II coding by certified coders
✔ Root-cause denial review and resubmission
✔ Pennsylvania prompt-pay deadline tracking
✔ AR follow-up on aged and underpaid claims
