Birth Billing Specialist
Helping Midwives get paid!
Services
The following services are all a part of what we do at Birth Billing Specialist. In addition to this, we provide you with a packet of custom made forms, including a Client Registration Form, if you don't already have one! We also provide year end tax reports for your convenience.
Need consultant services, help with getting an NPI, insurance contracting, or just getting your practice or birth center started? We're here to help in any way we can!
Verify Insurance Benefits
The most important step to getting paid is for both you and your client to understand, from the beginning of care, exactly what to expect from their insurance policy. We find that a phone call asking about the particulars of midwife billing is an essential part of the process.
Once the insurance benefits are verified, we are happy to relay this information to both you and your client in a way that is easy to understand. We are happy to answer questions and provide guidance through referral processes, request predeterminations, estimate out-of-pocket expenses for HSAs, HRAs, FSAs, etc., all at no extra charge.
Client Invoicing
Once insurance claims have processed, we are happy to mail client invoices that clearly denote what charges are for. If you have a small practice, we send out an invoice immediately after claims have processed. For larger practices, we send invoices out monthly.
Want us to handle cash pay clients too? Sometimes it's hard to be both the caring midwife and the person asking for payment. We are also happy to help with setting up monthly payment plans.
Bill & Code Midwife Services
With eight years of experience in billing and coding OB/GYN services for CNMs and CPMs, you can count on us to bill from first visit to determine pregnancy through newborn care. Billing expertise includes what may not be included in the global ob fee, transport billing, newborn care and billing for well woman visits.
No need to worry about diagnosis codes and the change to ICD-10 either. You tell us the services rendered and the diagnosis in your language and we will convert it to the to the language of the insurance companies.
​​
Most claims are billed electronically, so you may see payments in 14-21 days!
Reimbursement Billing
Some insurance companies don't recognize CPMs and/or will not make payment to a CPM who does not have malpractice insurance. Sometimes the only way your clients can make use of their out-of-network insurance benefits is to submit a subscriber claim and receipt for reimbursement once paid in full and all services are rendered. We are happy to complete subscriber claim forms and provide receipts that have all the coding required by the insurance company. We will even contract directly with your clients to provide this service. The only information we need from you are dates of services and payment details!
Collections
We understand that you know your clients very well by the end of their pregnancy and that many of your clients come back for their next pregnancy and talk to their friends and family about their experience with you. As a representative on your behalf, we are careful to provide compassionate collections calls, usually with great results! We are persistent without harassment ,and firm but compassionate and understanding.
