Medical billing and revenue cycle management for Atlanta practices dealing with commercial payers, Georgia Medicaid plans, denials and aging AR.
Get a Free ConsultationRunning an independent practice in Atlanta means competing for staff and patients with large systems like Emory, Piedmont, Northside and Wellstar. Those systems have entire billing departments, while most Atlanta practices run medical billing with one or two people handling claims, posting payments, chasing denials and answering patient balance questions, often while covering the front desk. When one of them leaves, the AR starts aging within weeks.
Unstoppable Revenue is a Dallas-based medical billing partner for practices around the country, Atlanta included, covering the full revenue cycle. We handle eligibility checks and prior authorizations, charge entry and coding review, claims submission, payment posting, denial management and AR follow-up. We also clean up old AR that has been sitting for months. Our processes are built with HIPAA in mind, and we work inside your existing EMR or EHR.
Atlanta practices typically bill some mix of Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield, UnitedHealthcare, Aetna, Cigna, Medicare and Georgia Medicaid, which serves most of its members through care management organizations. Each payer has its own authorization rules, timely filing limits and appeal process. Medicaid patients can move between plans, so an eligibility check that was correct last month may not be correct today. Eligibility and authorization problems are among the most common reasons claims get denied.
Specialty matters as much as payer mix. A behavioral health group billing time-based psychotherapy codes faces different audit risks than an orthopedic practice in Alpharetta billing surgical global periods, and a pediatric office in metro Atlanta often carries a heavier Medicaid share plus vaccine administration billing. We set up claim edits and review steps for your specialty instead of running every practice through the same medical billing checklist.
We support practices in Atlanta, Decatur, Sandy Springs, Marietta, Alpharetta, Roswell, Johns Creek, Lawrenceville, Duluth, Stockbridge and across Georgia.
We verify coverage before visits and obtain authorizations for procedures, imaging and ongoing therapy, so claims are not denied for problems that could have been caught at scheduling.
Medical coding and charge review before claims go out, checking modifiers, diagnosis linkage and whether documentation supports the level of service billed. Fixing errors before submission costs far less than appealing them later.
We sort denials by cause, correct and resubmit what can be fixed, file appeals where the payer got it wrong, and report patterns back to you so the same denial stops repeating.
If you have claims sitting past 90 or 120 days, we prioritize them by dollar value and filing deadline, follow up with payers directly, and write off only what is truly uncollectable.
We post ERAs and paper EOBs accurately, flag underpayments against your contracted rates, and send clear patient statements so balances get paid without a flood of confused phone calls.
