Trusted Medical Billing Partner
Medical Billing Services in Buffalo
Buffalo is home to Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center, one of the country’s original NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Centers, and sits directly across the border from Ontario, Canada, giving the region both a heavy academic-oncology referral pattern and a steady flow of Canadian patients seeking care unavailable or slow to access at home. Techera Med Systems provides medical billing for Buffalo practices built around both realities and New York’s $50,000 No-Fault auto insurance structure.
How Much Does Medical Billing Cost in Buffalo?
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.
Roswell Park Referral and Oncology-Adjacent Billing
Roswell Park’s Comprehensive Cancer Center designation draws oncology referrals from across Western New York and beyond, meaning pathology, radiology, infusion, and palliative care practices in Buffalo see a higher share of out-of-area referral patients than a typical city this size. Verifying coverage for patients whose home address and primary insurance are elsewhere matters more here than in most upstate markets.
✔ Eligibility verification for out-of-area oncology referral patients
✔ Coordination with Roswell Park-affiliated referral networks
✔ Standard commercial and Medicaid billing for the rest of a practice’s patient panel
Canadian Cross-Border Patient Billing
Buffalo’s proximity to the Peace Bridge and the Ontario border brings a steady flow of Canadian patients seeking care in the US, patients with provincial health coverage (like OHIP) rather than US insurance, requiring an entirely different verification and self-pay collection process than a standard domestic claim.
✔ Structured self-pay billing for Canadian and other international patients
✔ Coverage verification distinct from standard US commercial insurance
✔ Standard commercial and Medicaid billing for the rest of a practice’s patient panel
No-Fault (PIP) and Medicaid Billing for Buffalo Practices
New York’s No-Fault system requires a $50,000 minimum benefit per person, paid as the primary payer ahead of health insurance, with a 30-day filing deadline. Erie County practices also work within New York’s Medicaid managed care and NYRx pharmacy fee-for-service structure, effective since April 2023.
✔ No-Fault claims billed against New York’s $50,000 minimum benefit structure
✔ NYRx fee-for-service enrollment verification for prescribing providers
✔ Charge entry, payment posting, and AR follow-up
Medical Coding and Denial Management for Buffalo Practices
A Buffalo practice’s patient panel can include Roswell-referred, Canadian, No-Fault, and Medicaid 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 New York’s prompt-pay statute.
✔ ICD-10-CM, CPT, and HCPCS Level II coding by certified coders
✔ Root-cause denial review and resubmission
✔ New York prompt-pay deadline tracking (Insurance Law 3224-a)
✔ AR follow-up on aged and underpaid claims
