Workers compensation runs on a state fee schedule, state forms, and state timelines. A process that works in one state is frequently invalid one state line away, which is why it is so often the worst-performing segment of a practice’s A/R.
Claims for West Virginia providers are adjudicated by Palmetto GBA (JM), which is also who hears the first level of appeal — so an appeal argument that works here works in every state that contractor covers.

What changes in West Virginia
Medicaid in West Virginia runs as Mountain Health Trust and is delivered largely through commercial managed care plans, so most Medicaid claims are adjudicated by an insurer with its own filing window and its own authorization rules rather than by the state.
What we do
- Bill against the applicable state fee schedule rather than your commercial rates
