Billing for hospital medicine is not general billing with a different code set. Initial versus subsequent inpatient codes and discharge day management, where the admitting relationship determines who may bill what.
Observation versus inpatient status drives both the code set and the patient responsibility, and the status is frequently changed after the fact.

How we work it
We code from what your record documents and query you when it does not support a code, which in hospital medicine is where most of the avoidable exposure sits.
Denials are worked by cause rather than in queue order, so the same failure stops recurring instead of being re-worked every month.
We work the claims. You practice medicine.
Coding, claim submission, denial management, and A/R follow-up — with nothing left for your front desk to chase.

Hospital Medicine — Frequently Asked Questions
Do you have coders who know hospital medicine?
+
Yes. All coding is performed by certified coders, and specialty assignment is deliberate — initial versus subsequent inpatient codes and discharge day management, where the admitting relationship determines who may bill what.
Do you guarantee we will collect more?
+
No, and nobody honestly can. Payment is decided by the payer. What we commit to is the process and the six numbers we report, which you can check against your own system.
