Orthopedics Billing in Washington

Global surgical periods and modifier use, where a post-operative visit billed separately is a denial by design.

Remote medical billing — monthly close, cleanup, and books ready for your practice.

Workers compensation is a large share of the book, and it is billed to a state fee schedule rather than to your contracted rates. In Washington that plays out against a specific set of rules rather than a general one.

Claims for Washington providers are adjudicated by Noridian Healthcare Solutions (JF), 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 Washington

Medicaid in Washington runs as Apple Health 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.
