Remote medical billing and revenue cycle management for Rhode Island practices that bill Rhode Island Medicaid, Medicare, Medicare Advantage and commercial plans such as Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Rhode Island. Cleaner claims, fewer denials and faster payments, with no upfront cost.
A billing team that knows Rhode Island payers
Rhode Island's market is compact but concentrated: Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Rhode Island and Neighborhood Health Plan cover a large share of residents, and most Medicaid members are in RIte Care managed care. Many patients also carry Massachusetts plans.
Provider Concerns handles that work for you, remotely. Our team verifies coverage and plan type before each visit, codes and scrubs every claim, submits it electronically, posts payments and works every denial by reason code. You get a single point of contact and monthly reports on collections, denials and days in A/R, so you always know where your revenue stands.
We work with solo physicians, specialty groups, clinics and multi-location practices across Rhode Island, including Providence, Warwick, Cranston, Pawtucket, East Providence and Newport. Because we work inside your existing EHR or practice management system, there is nothing to install and no disruption to your front desk.

Learn more →Common Rhode Island denials and how we prevent them
Most denials are preventable. These are the ones we see most often for Rhode Island practices, and the checks we run to stop them before a claim goes out.
Wrong Medicaid plan
Rhode Island Medicaid members can switch managed care plans, and claims sent to the old plan are denied. We re-check plan assignment before each visit and on every rejected claim.
Medicare Advantage vs. Original Medicare
Patients move between Original Medicare and Medicare Advantage plans during open enrollment. We verify the plan at every visit so claims don't go to National Government Services when a private plan should be billed.
Missing prior authorization
Many Rhode Island plans require approval for imaging, procedures and specialty visits. We request and track authorizations before the date of service.
Coding and modifier errors
Bundling edits, missing modifiers and diagnosis codes that don't support medical necessity are among the most common avoidable denials. Certified coders review claims before they go out.
Timely filing
Medicare, Rhode Island Medicaid and commercial plans each set different deadlines. We track every open claim against its payer's window so nothing ages out.
Coordination of benefits
Secondary coverage, workers' comp and auto claims need the right payer order. We confirm it up front and bill secondary payers as soon as the primary pays.
