Trusted Medical Billing Partner
Medical Billing Services in Saginaw
Saginaw was once a major General Motors manufacturing hub, and while GM’s direct presence has shrunk, Nexteer Automotive, a steering and driveline systems supplier spun off from GM’s Saginaw Steering division, remains one of the city’s largest employers. Techera Med Systems provides medical billing for Saginaw practices built around that manufacturing workforce and Michigan’s tiered no-fault PIP system.
How Much Does Medical Billing Cost in Saginaw?
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.
Auto-Supplier Manufacturing Workers' Compensation Billing
Nexteer Automotive and the broader auto-parts supplier base still anchored in Saginaw generate steady occupational-injury and workers’ compensation claim volume for area urgent care and occupational health practices, claims that run through Michigan’s workers’ comp fee schedule rather than standard group health billing.
✔ Workers’ compensation claims billing for manufacturing and auto-supplier injuries
✔ Standard commercial and Medicaid billing for the rest of a practice’s patient panel
Covenant HealthCare and Ascension St. Mary's Referral Billing
Covenant HealthCare and Ascension St. Mary’s of Michigan are Saginaw’s two dominant hospital systems, and independent practices affiliated with or referring into either need to track that network relationship correctly.
✔ Claims and referral routing awareness for Covenant- and Ascension St. Mary’s-affiliated practices
✔ Standard commercial and Medicaid billing for non-affiliated 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
Medical Coding and Denial Management for Saginaw Practices
A Saginaw practice’s patient panel can include auto-supplier workers’ comp, Covenant/Ascension St. Mary’s-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
