Trusted Medical Billing Partner
Medical Billing Services in Sandy Springs
Sandy Springs, one of the youngest incorporated cities in the country (2005), is headquartered by UPS, one of the largest logistics companies in the world, with a substantial local self-funded employee health plan. Techera Med Systems provides medical billing for Sandy Springs practices built around that commercial-heavy payer mix and Georgia’s Pathways to Coverage Medicaid structure.
How Much Does Medical Billing Cost in Sandy Springs?
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.
UPS Self-Funded Employee Plan Billing
UPS, headquartered in Sandy Springs, maintains 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, through the plan’s own third-party administrator and internal ERISA appeal process.
✔ 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
Proactive Commercial Eligibility Verification
Sandy Springs’ concentration of corporate headquarters means a larger share of the local patient population carries employer-sponsored commercial insurance than the Medicaid-heavier mix common elsewhere in metro Atlanta.
✔ Proactive commercial eligibility verification suited to Sandy Springs’ employer-heavy base
✔ Standard Medicaid billing for the smaller share of a practice’s Medicaid 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 Sandy Springs Practices
A Sandy Springs practice’s patient panel can include self-funded employer plans, standard commercial insurance, 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
