Trusted Medical Billing Partner
Medical Billing Services in Marietta
Marietta is home to Lockheed Martin’s largest aeronautics facility, producing the C-130 and F-35 alongside Dobbins Air Reserve Base, giving Cobb County a manufacturing and defense-industry workforce with its own large, self-funded employee health plans and occupational health needs. Techera Med Systems provides medical billing for Marietta practices built around that base and Georgia’s Pathways to Coverage Medicaid structure.
How Much Does Medical Billing Cost in Marietta?
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.
Lockheed Martin Self-Funded Employee Plan Billing
Lockheed Martin’s Marietta aeronautics facility employs a substantial workforce covered under a large, likely self-funded, employee health plan governed by federal ERISA rules rather than Georgia’s state insurance statutes. Claims and appeals for self-funded plans route differently than fully insured commercial plans.
✔ Claims routing to the correct third-party administrator for self-funded employer plans
✔ ERISA-compliant internal appeal filing for self-funded plan denials
✔ Standard commercial and Medicaid billing for the rest of a practice’s patient panel
Manufacturing Workers' Compensation Billing
Lockheed Martin’s aerospace manufacturing operations and the broader Cobb County industrial base generate occupational injury claim volume for area urgent care and occupational health practices, billed against Georgia’s workers’ compensation fee schedule.
✔ Workers’ compensation claims billing against the Georgia fee schedule
✔ Standard commercial and Medicaid billing for the rest of a practice’s patient panel
Georgia Pathways to Coverage Billing
Georgia Pathways to Coverage requires adults to document 80 hours a month of work, school, or training activity to maintain Medicaid eligibility, since Georgia never adopted full ACA Medicaid expansion.
✔ Real-time Pathways eligibility verification before each visit
✔ Standard Medicaid managed care billing for the rest of a practice’s patient panel
Medical Coding and Denial Management for Marietta Practices
A Marietta practice’s patient panel can include Lockheed Martin’s self-funded plan, workers’ comp claims, and Pathways-eligible Medicaid patients. 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 Georgia’s prompt-pay requirements.
✔ ICD-10-CM, CPT, and HCPCS Level II coding by certified coders
✔ Root-cause denial review and resubmission
✔ Georgia prompt-pay deadline tracking
✔ AR follow-up on aged and underpaid claims
