Medical Billing and Coding Services for Florida Practices
Every service below is delivered by our own billing team, not routed through a platform you have to manage yourself.
Medical Coding Services
Full-cycle claims submission and payment posting built around SMMC 3.0 Medicaid plans and Florida Blue filing rules.
Medical Billing Services
Specialty-specific CPT, ICD-10, and HCPCS coding that reflects how each Florida payer, commercial, Medicare Advantage, or Medicaid, actually adjudicates a claim.
Consultation and
Audit
A structured review of your current billing performance, denial patterns, and coding accuracy before we take over a single claim.
Denial Management
Root-cause analysis and appeals for denied claims, with corrections applied upstream so the same denial reason stops recurring.
Revenue Cycle Management
Revenue cycle management services in Florida built around SMMC 3.0's new regional structure and the state's heavy Medicare Advantage volume, keeping AR moving across three payer types on the same patient panel.
Credentialing and Enrollment
Payer enrollment and re-credentialing across SMMC Medicaid plans, Florida Blue, and Medicare Advantage carriers, managed remotely from start to finish.
Patient Billing and Collections
Medical billing and collection services that stay clear and respectful for Florida's large senior population, recovering what's owed across Medicare Advantage, commercial, and Medicaid patients alike.
Eligibility and Verification
Real-time eligibility and benefits verification before the appointment, not discovered after a claim has already been filed.
Florida’s Medicaid and Commercial Payer Landscape
Florida just completed the largest overhaul of its Medicaid managed care program in a decade. SMMC 3.0 launched February 1, 2025, replacing the state’s old 11-region map with nine new regions and awarding fresh multi-year contracts running through 2030, a transition that pushed at least one longtime MCO, AmeriHealth Caritas, out of the program. Florida Medicaid itself splits into four tracks, Managed Medical Assistance, Long-Term Care, Dental, and a separate plan for intellectual and developmental disabilities, each with its own contracted plans.
On the commercial side, Florida Blue, part of GuideWell, dominates by a wide margin, holding a plurality of the individual market statewide and serving all 67 counties across commercial, Medicare Advantage, and Medicaid managed care lines. Florida also has the second-largest population of adults 65 and older in the country, which means a single practice often bills commercial, Medicare Advantage, and Medicaid claims side by side for patients with very different rules. Florida has not expanded Medicaid under the ACA.

Billing Hurdles Florida Practices Often Face
The SMMC 3.0 Regional Reset
Florida's Medicaid managed care map just changed from 11 regions to 9, and at least one longtime MCO exited the program entirely. Practices need to confirm which plans actually serve their region under the new map rather than the old one.
Four Medicaid Tracks, Four Rule Sets
Managed Medical Assistance, Long-Term Care, Dental, and the ICMC program for intellectual and developmental disabilities each contract separately, so a patient's actual Medicaid benefit depends on which track they fall into.
Three Payer Types on the Same Patient Panel
With commercial coverage, Medicare Advantage, and Medicaid managed care all significant in Florida, a single practice often needs three different billing approaches for patients who look similar on the schedule but aren't.
One Payer's Broad Statewide Reach
With Florida Blue serving all 67 counties and holding the largest share of the individual market, a credentialing or coding gap with that one payer touches a broad slice of practice revenue statewide.
