Automated Billing for H-Codes and T-Codes: Save Time and Avoid Claim Denials

Accurate Medicaid billing for H-codes and T-codes is notoriously complex. Manual workflows increase errors, slow down payments, and create avoidable denials. The fix is automation—embedding payer rules, code validation, and documentation checks directly into your EHR.

Impact of Claim Denials on Practice Revenue

• Administrative rework increases cost-to-collect and delays cash flow
• Small mistakes (wrong modifier, missing POS, invalid prior auth) trigger denials
• Resubmissions drag AR days; some claims expire before correction
• Denials also impact payer scorecards and prepayment review risk

How Automation Solves Billing Problems

• Real-time validation checks required fields before submission
• Auto-suggests correct modifiers and place-of-service based on visit context
• Eligibility and benefits verification flags plan-specific coverage rules
• Prior auth tracking ensures documentation is on file and linked to encounters
• Automated claim creation from signed notes reduces double entry

Features That Make Billing Easy and Error-Free

• Code libraries for H-codes and T-codes with payer-specific edits
• Rule engine for modifiers, units, frequency limits, and POS
• Automated linkages between note content, codes, and attachments
• Eligibility (270/271) and claim status (276/277) automations
• Denial reason analytics with 835 ERA auto-posting
• Work queues and alerts for time-sensitive resubmissions

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What causes most H/T-code denials? Missing or incorrect modifiers, unit limits, missing prior auth, invalid POS, and documentation gaps.

Can automation reduce rework? Yes. Real-time validation and rule-based coding cut rejections and resubmissions dramatically.

Does this work across states? Yes. Maintain payer- and state-specific rules; version them as programs update.

How do we stay audit-ready? Link claims to signed notes, treatment plans, and auths with immutable audit trails.

Will this slow down providers? No. Providers chart as usual; automation runs in the background to keep claims clean.
