Preferred Health Resources extends its services beyond the assistance provided by traditional claims processing centers and has extensive experience in medical billing for nephrology.

PHR is fully versed on the nuances of nephrology charge. From bill monthly care for peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis to appending proper procedural modifiers, PHR will assist your practice to identify trouble areas.  For example, are you aware compensation for dialysis session oversight demands the attending physicians to show up within a process? Have you been charging a 90935 instead of a 90937? Or the new ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS for diagnosis coding and inpatient hospital coding regarding specified procedures.

Nephrology treatment ranges over a broad spectrum of analysis and can necessitate testing, wide-ranging knowledge and focus. Complex ailments code and to diagnose for may contain:

  • Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)
  • Remove Extra Fluid
  • Equilibrium Distinct Minerals/Substance
  • Create Hormones
  • Assistance with Vitamin D Generation

Kidney disease happens when there’s damage to the kidneys that might or might not result in GFR or a lesser than standard Glomerular Filtration Rate. CKD or chronic Kidney Disease is diagnosed when kidney damage exists for 3 or more consecutive months.

Here are a number of the complications which compound billing with Nephrology such as hospital visits and related coding:

  • 90935 (dialysis) isn’t payable with follow up 99231-99233 only Essential Care (99291)/First/Discharge
  • 90935 (dialysis) is payable with essential care (99291-99292)/ first (99221-99223) and discharge (99238 9); add modifier 25 to principal (non-dialysis) charge
  • 36514- It’s crucial that you attach code that is medically essential
  • Daily/Visitors (90970) we charge the day before/day after treatment with amount/date period
