Internal Medicine Medical Billing & Coding Solutions
Internal medicine is one of the most documentation-intensive specialties in all of medical billing. Every visit involves complex E&M level selection, and additional services like Chronic Care Management (CCM), Transitional Care Management (TCM), Annual Wellness Visits (AWV), and Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) add layers of billing complexity requiring meticulous documentation to capture every dollar of reimbursement.
Evaluation & Management (E&M) Coding
We apply the 2021 and 2023 AMA E&M guidelines accurately, coding by Medical Decision Making (MDM) or total time, ensuring every office visit is billed at the correct and maximum justifiable level.
Chronic Care Management (CCM & PCM) Billing
We manage the full CCM billing workflow, including patient consent documentation, monthly time tracking, and accurate coding for CPT 99490, 99487, and 99489, so you capture revenue from every qualifying patient.
Transitional Care Management (TCM) Billing
Our team handles all TCM requirements, post-discharge contact timelines, face-to-face visit documentation, and accurate CPT coding, ensuring full reimbursement for every care transition your team manages.
Annual Wellness Visits & Preventive Screenings
We correctly code AWVs and preventive visits alongside same-day problem-oriented E&M services using modifier 25, preventing denials and ensuring full reimbursement for all services rendered.
Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) Billing
Internal medicine practices increasingly rely on RPM programs. We handle device setup, billing, monthly monitoring codes (99457, 99458), and payer-specific documentation requirements accurately.
HIPAA-Compliant Billing Workflows
Every claim goes through a multi-step compliance review before submission. Our HIPAA-ready workflows protect patient data and ensure your practice meets all federal billing regulations.
