Outsourced Billing for Central Ohio Practices

Central Ohio health care is dominated by a few large systems: Ohio State Wexner Medical Center, OhioHealth, Mount Carmel and Nationwide Children's Hospital. Independent physicians, therapists and specialty groups compete with them for patients, and for the experienced medical billing staff every Columbus practice needs. When an experienced biller leaves for a hospital job with better benefits, a small practice can lose months of momentum on claims, posting and follow-up.

Unstoppable Revenue's medical billing team in Dallas provides complete revenue cycle management for practices in Columbus and around the country. We take on eligibility and prior authorization, charge entry and audit, coding, claims submission, payment posting, denial management, AR follow-up and AR cleanup, along with patient statements and EMR/EHR management. One multi-provider mental health practice we support, whose name we keep confidential, reduced its AR by $1M over 12 months.

Ohio Medicaid Managed Care and Commercial Payers

Ohio relaunched its Medicaid managed care program in 2023 under what the state called the Next Generation model, with a new lineup of plans. For Columbus practices with a meaningful Medicaid share, especially pediatrics, behavioral health and primary care, that meant updated contracts, new portals and fresh authorization rules to learn. Errors in plan assignment and authorization still cause a large share of preventable denials.

On the commercial side, Columbus practices commonly bill Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield, Medical Mutual, UnitedHealthcare, Aetna, Cigna and Humana, plus Medicare and a growing number of Medicare Advantage plans. Each has different timely filing limits and appeal steps. We keep payer rules organized by specialty so claims go out clean and denials get worked before their windows close.

We support practices in Columbus, Dublin, Westerville, Worthington, Hilliard, Upper Arlington, Gahanna, Grove City, Lancaster, Newark, Delaware and across Central Ohio.

Columbus Medical Billing and RCM Services

Front-End Eligibility

We confirm coverage, plan assignment and benefits before visits, including Ohio Medicaid managed care plan changes, so patients know their costs and claims are not denied for coverage problems.

Prior Authorizations

Authorization requests submitted, tracked and documented for imaging, procedures, therapy visits and injectable drugs, with expiration dates and visit counts monitored so approved services do not lapse.

Claims Submission

Accurate charge entry and coding review, followed by clean claim submission and prompt correction of any rejections. Fewer claims stuck at the clearinghouse means faster payment.

Denials and Appeals

We work denials by root cause, correct and resubmit or appeal, and report the patterns to your team. Many denials trace back to a small number of fixable front-end problems.

AR Recovery

A focused project to recover old balances, sorting aged claims by value and deadline, contacting payers directly, and giving you an honest view of what can still be collected.
