Endocrinology billing services are specialized revenue cycle management services for practices that treat diabetes, thyroid, bone, adrenal, pituitary and other hormone disorders. They cover eligibility verification, prior authorization, CPT and ICD-10-CM coding, claim submission, payment posting, denial management and A/R follow-up for services such as office visits, CGM interpretation, diabetes education, thyroid ultrasound and biopsy, bone density scans and in-office injections.
Nevada Medical Billing Services runs that full cycle for Nevada endocrine practices, so the long-term care you give every patient is matched by revenue you can count on.
Endocrinology does not lose money on one big claim. It loses it in small, recurring amounts, across thousands of follow-ups, readings and refills. Here is where.
Every 30 days, your team reviews glucose data and adjusts therapy. That interpretation is billable with 95251 when documented properly, yet most practices do the work and never send the claim. Across a diabetes panel, that adds up to tens of thousands of dollars a year.
Endocrine patients are longitudinal by nature. The G2211 add-on, principal care management for one high-risk condition and chronic care management for several exist precisely for this work, and they are routinely left off claims.
A1C, DXA and thyroid testing all carry frequency rules. A DXA billed inside Medicare's 24-month window, or an A1C repeated too soon, is denied unless the diagnosis supports medical necessity.
CGMs, insulin pumps, GLP-1 therapy, growth hormone, denosumab and teprotumumab all need approval. When an authorization lapses mid-treatment, every claim that follows is at risk.
A thyroid FNA or injection on the day of a visit needs modifier 25 on the E/M and clean NCCI logic. A CLIA-waived A1C needs modifier QW. Miss either and the payer pays one service and denies the other.
One accountable team manages your endocrine revenue cycle end to end, so nothing slips between handoffs.
We verify coverage 48-72 hours before every visit, scan and injection, and secure authorizations for devices, biologics and specialty drugs, tracking each one by date, units and expiry.
AAPC and AHIMA-certified coders assign CPT, ICD-10-CM and HCPCS codes with full diagnosis specificity, including diabetes complications, insulin and injectable-drug status, and BMI pairing for obesity codes.
We reconcile closed encounters, CGM reviews, care-management minutes and injections against the charge file daily, and queue recurring services the moment each new billing period opens.
CGMs and insulin pumps are billed by DME suppliers, but coverage depends on your documentation. We help your team meet DME MAC requirements so patients get their devices without delays.
ERAs and EOBs are posted daily and compared against contracted rates. Underpaid visits, scans and drug claims are appealed, not accepted.
Every denial is worked within 48 hours, root-caused and fixed at the source so it does not repeat.
Clear patient statements and payment plans, full credentialing (CAQH, PECOS, Noridian, Nevada Medicaid, commercial), and monthly KPI reporting with a review call.
Diabetes technology is the fastest-growing revenue line in endocrinology and the most misunderstood.

Internal medicine billing servicesPrimary care billing servicesCardiology billing servicesNeurology billing servicesGastroenterology billing servicesEndocrinology billing services include eligibility checks, prior authorization, CPT and ICD-10 coding, claim submission, payment posting, denial management, A/R follow-up and reporting. Nevada Medical Billing Services also tracks recurring services such as CGM interpretation, care management and RPM so they are billed every eligible period.
Endocrinology billing is complex because most revenue comes from recurring, frequency-limited services like CGM reviews, labs, DXA scans and care management, plus drugs and devices that need prior authorization. Small misses repeat across thousands of chronic-care encounters.
Endocrinologists bill CGM start-up and training with 95249, clinic-owned professional CGM with 95250, and data interpretation with 95251, which requires at least 72 hours of data and is limited to once every 30 days. The CGM device and sensors are billed separately by a DME supplier.
Yes. G2211 is a Medicare add-on to office and outpatient E/M visits when the practice serves as the continuing focal point for a serious or complex condition such as diabetes. It generally cannot be added when the visit carries modifier 25 for a same-day procedure, apart from narrow CMS exceptions.
Yes, when the practice runs a DSMT program accredited by the ADA or ADCES. DSMT is billed with G0108 (individual) and G0109 (group), and Medicare covers up to 10 hours in the first year and 2 hours each year after.
Medicare generally covers a DXA bone density scan (77080) once every 24 months, and more often only when medically necessary, such as for patients on long-term glucocorticoid therapy or monitoring osteoporosis treatment.
The most common endocrinology denials are frequency limits (CO-151 or CO-119), medical necessity (CO-50), missing modifiers such as QW or 25 (CO-4), missing prior authorization (CO-197) and bundled same-day services (CO-97). Most are preventable with pre-submission checks.
Outsourcing usually costs less than an in-house team once salaries, benefits, software and turnover are counted, and it adds systematic tracking of recurring services. In-house can work for large groups with dedicated endocrine coders and stable staff.
Most endocrinology billing companies charge a percentage of collections, commonly 4-7%, depending on volume, payer mix and services. Nevada Medical Billing Services confirms a flat percentage after a free audit, with no setup fees.
Yes. Our billers work directly in Epic, eClinicalWorks, athenahealth, NextGen, AdvancedMD, ModMed and Tebra. There is no data migration and no workflow disruption.
Yes. We bill Medicare Part B through Noridian (Jurisdiction F), support DME documentation for Noridian's DME contract (Jurisdiction D), and bill Nevada Medicaid, its managed care plans and Nevada commercial payers.
Onboarding typically takes 2-3 weeks, including EHR access, payer setup and fee schedule review. We also work your existing A/R during the transition so no revenue is lost.
