A Payer Mix Shaped by Military Medicine

Medical billing in San Antonio starts with a patient base few cities share. Brooke Army Medical Center and Wilford Hall at Lackland anchor a large military health system, and active duty families, retirees and veterans regularly see community providers. That means TRICARE claims, VA community care referrals and Medicare for retirees can make up a big part of a private practice's volume, on top of Texas Medicaid and commercial plans. Each one has its own authorization rules, timely filing limits and quirks, and a small billing staff has to know them all.

Unstoppable Revenue is a Texas-based medical billing team in Dallas that works remotely with San Antonio practices and others across the state. We take on as much of the revenue cycle as you need, from eligibility checks and claim submission through denials, payment posting and AR recovery, and we work inside your current EMR rather than forcing a system change. Our processes are HIPAA-conscious, and our reporting is built for administrators who need to know what is owed, by whom and why.

Billing Pressures for San Antonio Practices

Referral-driven care is a big part of the San Antonio market. When a veteran is sent to a community specialist under VA community care, the authorization defines what can be billed and for how long, and claims outside that scope come back unpaid. TRICARE has its own referral and authorization requirements depending on the beneficiary's plan. Missing or expired referrals stall claims quickly, and they are usually preventable with a few checks at the time of scheduling.

The civilian side is just as busy. The South Texas Medical Center on the northwest side brings together University Hospital, Methodist Hospital and UT Health San Antonio, and independent practices nearby compete with those systems for staff. Bexar County also has a large Medicaid and uninsured population. When an experienced medical billing specialist leaves for a hospital job, a practice can lose months of follow-up, and that is usually when AR quietly crosses 90 days.

We work with practices in San Antonio's Medical Center area, Stone Oak, Alamo Heights and downtown, as well as Schertz, Converse, Helotes, Boerne, New Braunfels and Universal City.

San Antonio Medical Billing and RCM Services

Referral and Authorization Checks

Before the visit, we confirm eligibility and check that TRICARE referrals, VA community care authorizations and commercial prior authorizations are valid and match the services on the schedule.

Claims Submission

Clean claims sent electronically with payer-specific edits applied, then tracked until they are accepted, paid or denied, so nothing sits unnoticed in a clearinghouse queue for weeks.

Medical Coding Review

Coding and charge audits that catch documentation gaps, modifier errors and diagnosis mismatches, which matter even more when government payers and their contractors review claims closely.

Denial and Appeal Work

We categorize every denial, correct and resubmit what we can, and appeal the rest with the documentation each payer requires, then report the patterns so they stop recurring.

AR Recovery

When a staffing gap has left balances aging past 90 days, we sort them by payer and dollar value and work the recoverable ones first, before filing limits close.
