Medical Billing Services in Texas
Remote medical billing and revenue cycle management for Texas practices that bill Texas Medicaid and CHIP, Medicare, Medicare Advantage and commercial plans such as Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas. Cleaner claims, fewer denials and faster payments, with no upfront cost.
A billing team that knows Texas payers
Texas practices deal with Novitas Solutions for Medicare, a Medicaid and CHIP program delivered through STAR managed care plans with a 95-day filing window from the date of service, and a long list of commercial payers. For fully insured state-regulated plans, Texas prompt-pay rules set deadlines for insurers to act on clean claims.
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 Texas, including Houston, San Antonio, Dallas, Austin, Fort Worth and El Paso. Because we work inside your existing EHR or practice management system, there is nothing to install and no disruption to your front desk.

Most denials are preventable. These are the ones we see most often for Texas practices, and the checks we run to stop them before a claim goes out.
Wrong Medicaid plan
Texas 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 Novitas Solutions when a private plan should be billed.
Missing prior authorization
Many Texas 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, Texas Medicaid and CHIP 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.
