Trusted Medical Billing Partner
Medical Billing Services in Flint
Flint has carried ongoing, structured public health monitoring since its 2014-2015 water crisis, including the Flint Registry’s long-term lead-exposure follow-up care program, a billing category most Michigan cities don’t have. Techera Med Systems provides medical billing for Flint practices built around that reality, Hurley Medical Center’s referral role, and Michigan’s tiered no-fault PIP system.
How Much Does Medical Billing Cost in Flint?
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.
Flint Registry and Lead-Exposure Monitoring Billing
The Flint Registry, established after the city’s 2014-2015 water crisis, connects residents exposed to lead-contaminated water with long-term health monitoring, developmental screening, and referral services, some of it grant- or state-funded rather than billed through standard insurance. Practices serving Flint Registry-enrolled patients need to track which services are covered through that program versus standard Medicaid or commercial billing.
✔ Flint Registry program billing and funding-source verification
✔ Coordination with lead-exposure monitoring and developmental screening referrals
✔ Standard commercial and Medicaid billing for the rest of a practice’s patient panel
Medical Coding and Denial Management for Flint Practices
A Flint practice’s patient panel can include Flint Registry-enrolled patients, Hurley/McLaren-affiliated referrals, and tiered PIP 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 Michigan’s prompt-pay requirements.
✔ ICD-10-CM, CPT, and HCPCS Level II coding by certified coders
✔ Root-cause denial review and resubmission
✔ Michigan prompt-pay deadline tracking
✔ AR follow-up on aged and underpaid claims
Michigan No-Fault (PIP) Billing Under the 2019 Reform
Since July 2020, Michigan drivers choose from tiered PIP medical coverage, and since July 2021, providers treating auto accident victims must bill according to a Medicare-based fee schedule.
✔ PIP claims billed against the patient’s selected coverage tier
✔ Medicare-based fee schedule compliance for auto-accident treatment
Hurley Medical Center and McLaren Flint Referral Billing
Hurley Medical Center, Genesee County’s public hospital, and McLaren Flint anchor the city’s hospital referral network, and independent practices affiliated with or referring into either need to track that network relationship correctly.
✔ Claims and referral routing awareness for Hurley- and McLaren-affiliated practices
✔ Standard commercial and Medicaid billing for non-affiliated claims
