Family Practice Billing Services
A routine physical and a separate sick visit on the same day. A minor procedure performed during a wellness visit. CCM time not tracked correctly. Each one of these is a denied claim waiting to happen.
Family practice billing is uniquely complex. Your patients span every age group. Your services range from preventive care to chronic disease management to in-office procedures. One billing team cannot handle all of it without specialty-specific expertise.
GenMediTech provides family practice medical billing services built around the exact challenges family medicine providers face every day.

The Real Billing Challenges in Family Practice
Most family practice revenue loss comes from the same repeating problems.
Modifier 25 Used Incorrectly
Billing a sick visit and a preventive visit on the same day requires modifier 25 on the E&M code. Without it one claim gets denied. Most practices lose this revenue daily without realizing it.
CCM and TCM Billing Missed Entirely
Both services have strict time tracking and documentation requirements. Most practices skip them or bill them wrong. Either way the revenue does not come in.
Wrong E&M Level Selected
Undercoding means you collect less than you earned. Upcoding means audit risk. The right level from 99202 through 99215 has to be selected based on actual documentation, every single encounter.
Procedure Bundling Errors
Billing a wound repair alongside a surgical procedure without the right modifier gets denied. Bundling rules vary by payer and by procedure. One wrong combination and the entire claim comes back.
High Deductible Plan Collections
Patient financial responsibility has gone up. More people are on high deductible plans. Without a proper collections process those balances sit unpaid and your practice takes the hit.
Prior Authorization Delays
Referrals, specialist consultations, and high-cost medications all need authorization before billing. Skip it once and the claim comes back denied, no matter how clean everything else was.
In-Office Procedures We Bill for Family Practices

Our Family Practice Billing Services
Evaluation and Management Coding
Every visit gets reviewed before coding. We pick the right E&M level based on what is actually in the documentation, not what seems right. No undercoding. No upcoding.
Modifier 25 and 59 Management
Same day preventive and sick visit? Modifier 25 goes on the E&M, but only when documentation supports a significant and separately identifiable service. Modifier 59 handles distinct unbundled procedures. We verify documentation before applying either one.
Chronic Care Management Billing
CCM codes, 99490, 99491, 99487, 99489, each have their own time and documentation rules. We know the difference and track every requirement so no eligible encounter goes unbilled.
Transitional Care Management Billing
The filing window after discharge is short. We track every discharge and assign CPT 99495 or 99496 based on the complexity of the case. Nothing falls through.
Annual Wellness Visit and Preventive Care Billing
Initial AWV under G0438. Subsequent AWV under G0439. Well-child visits, immunizations, and screenings coded correctly for every age group, every time.
In-Office Procedure Billing
Right CPT code. Right modifier. Right diagnosis linkage. Every procedure billed the way payers expect it, no shortcuts, no guesswork.
Chronic Disease ICD-10-CM Coding
Diabetes, hypertension, COPD, heart failure, hyperlipidemia, all coded from what is documented. Nothing added. Nothing left out.
Prior Authorization and Referral Management
We get authorization handled before the service gets billed. Procedures, referrals, high-cost medications, nothing moves forward without the right approval in place.
Denial Management and Appeals
Every denial gets reviewed for root cause. Modifier disputes, bundling denials, authorization issues, we correct and resubmit with proper documentation every time.

Family Practice Billing Problems We Fix Every Day
Modifier 25 denied?
We review the documentation, confirm the E&M was significant and separately identifiable, and resubmit with proper modifier application.
CCM revenue not being captured?
We track time requirements, review documentation, and bill every eligible CCM encounter under the correct CPT code.
AWV bundled with a sick visit?
We separate them correctly and apply modifier 25 where documentation supports it. Both claims get paid.
Procedure bundling denial?
We identify the correct modifier, 25, 59, or XE, XS, XP, XU, and resubmit with documentation supporting the separate service.
High patient balance collections failing?
We send clear patient statements and follow up consistently, improving collection rates without damaging the patient relationship.
TCM missed after discharge?

We separate them correctly using modifier 25 on the E&M code when documentation supports a significant and separately identifiable service. Medicare and commercial payers both require this to pay for both services on the same date.
