Why Pediatric Billing Requires Specialized Attention

Pediatric care encompasses a wide range of services, from routine checkups and immunizations to complex treatments. Here's what sets pediatric billing apart from traditional medical billing:

• Understanding of Pediatric Evaluation and Management Services: Pediatric billing utilizes specific Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes for well-child visits, sick visits, developmental assessments, and consultations. BillingScapes' experts stay updated on the latest pediatric E/M codes and ensure their appropriate selection based on the complexity of the visit and the age of the patient.
• Understanding of Growth and Development Coding: Pediatric care often involves monitoring growth and development milestones. BillingScapes understands the specific CPT codes for these services, ensuring proper documentation and accurate claim submission.
• Adolescent Medicine Expertise: Adolescent patients may require services beyond traditional pediatrics. BillingScapes stays updated on coding for adolescent gynecological care, sports physicals, and other services specific to this age group.
• ICD-10 Coding for Pediatric Diagnoses: Precise diagnosis coding using the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10) system is critical for pediatric billing. Our team stays updated on the latest ICD-10 codes specific to childhood illnesses and conditions, ensuring accurate claim submissions.
• Understanding of Preventive Care Services: Preventive care plays a crucial role in pediatrics. BillingScapes ensures proper coding for immunizations, developmental screenings, and other preventive services, maximizing reimbursement for these vital interventions.
• Understanding of Medicaid and CHIP Billing: Many pediatric practices rely on Medicaid and CHIP for patient coverage. BillingScapes understands the specific requirements for billing these programs, minimizing claim denials.
