Pediatric practices face unique billing challenges—age-specific coding, vaccine documentation, and ever-changing Medicaid guidelines. Pediatric billing services need specialized knowledge that general medical billing companies lack. Nexus io manages these complexities so you can focus on patient care.
Pediatric practices manage multiple age-specific services during single encounters, from preventive care screenings to immunization administration. Each well-child visit requires accurate age-based CPT code selection (99381-99395), proper vaccine component documentation (90460 for counseling, 90461 for additional components), and compliance with EPSDT guidelines that vary by state Medicaid program.
Pediatric medical billing and coding become more complex when modifier 25 documentation must justify separate sick visits during preventive examinations, as payers scrutinize these bundled encounters closely.
Nexus io manages pediatric billing difficulties with qualified professionals who understand well-child protocols, immunization schedules, and state-specific payer needs.

Successful pediatric billing and coding prevent revenue losses by identifying documentation gaps before claim submission. Well-child visits generate lower reimbursement when pediatric coders fail to record billable procedures performed during preventive exams.
A standard 12-month checkup could include vision screening (99173), hearing evaluation (92551), and developmental screening (96110), but these services are frequently unbilled because pediatric paperwork does not clearly distinguish them from the base E/M code.
Pediatric medical billing services from Nexus io prevent these losses through pediatric billers who review encounters before submission, confirming procedure documentation supports separate billing, vaccine counseling times are recorded, and age-appropriate codes match patient eligibility dates.

Pediatric payer compliance requires understanding CMS pediatric billing guidelines alongside state Medicaid pediatric policies that vary significantly. Successful pediatric billing and coding moves through these complex pediatric medical billing services regulations. Pediatric prior authorization requirements differ for developmental screenings versus behavioral health referrals.

Pediatric claim denials stem from preventable errors across the pediatric billing workflow. Pediatric bundling errors occur when procedures aren’t properly separated with modifier 59. Pediatric modifier misuse happens when the modifier 25 documentation lacks a medical necessity justification.
