Getting paid in Maryland means managing several payer pathways in parallel. On the Medicaid side, coverage flows through Maryland Medicaid (Maryland HealthChoice), delivered through the HealthChoice managed-care program — each path carrying its own prior-authorization rules, portals and filing windows. We route every Maryland patient to the correct pathway so claims don’t ricochet between fee-for-service and managed care.
On the Medicare side, Maryland Part A and Part B are administered by Novitas Solutions under Jurisdiction L (JL), which also serves the Mid-Atlantic. The dominant commercial coverage is CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield, alongside national carriers like Aetna, Cigna and UnitedHealthcare. We bill all of them daily and keep current with each payer’s edits — not a generic “we bill everywhere” claim, but the specific rules that get Maryland claims paid on the first pass.
Maryland rules and payers that affect your cash flow
Prompt-pay law
Maryland, like most states, requires insurers to pay clean claims within a set timeframe or owe interest — we file clean, complete claims fast so those rules work in your favor.
Medicaid status
Maryland expanded Medicaid (2014) — more of your patients are covered, plus the eligibility and enrollment steps that come with it, which we manage.
Medicare = Novitas Solutions
Novitas Solutions processes Maryland Part A/B claims under Jurisdiction L (JL) — we submit and appeal to the right MAC.
Disputes → state regulator
Payer disputes escalate to the Maryland Insurance Administration — we document claims to that standard.

What we bill for Maryland practices
CPT is a national code set, yet your highest-volume codes — and the way each Maryland payer pays them — differ. We build payer-specific rules around the services you bill most:
Built around your specialty mix — a Baltimore primary-care group and a Columbia behavioral-health practice need different code sets and payer rules.
Maryland timely filing limits — quick reference
Common timely-filing windows for the major Maryland payers. Treat these as standard published limits — we track your exact contractual limit for every payer you’re contracted with, since plan-level contracts vary.
| Payer | Typical timely filing | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Medicare (Novitas Solutions, Jurisdiction L (JL)) | 365 days | Federal one-year limit from date of service |
| Maryland Medicaid (Maryland HealthChoice) | ~90–365 days | Fee-for-service vs. managed-care plan can differ |
| CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield | ~90–180 days | Commercial; check group contract |
| Aetna / Cigna / UnitedHealthcare | 90–180 days | Plan-dependent |
Built for Maryland practices
For independent Maryland practices, we run billing and RCM as a dedicated extension of your front office — mapped to your exact payers and aligned to the standards Maryland providers follow. We keep CAQH and Maryland Medicaid (Maryland HealthChoice) enrollment current, and stay aligned to MedChi, the Maryland State Medical Society guidance and state payer-policy updates.

Maryland medical billing questions
The questions Maryland practices ask us most — answered plainly.

Maryland coverage is administered through Maryland Medicaid (Maryland HealthChoice), delivered through the HealthChoice managed-care program. We verify every patient’s specific plan at eligibility and route the claim to the right managed-care or fee-for-service path.
No physical office is required. We bill for practices anywhere in Maryland — the work is handled for your location, and our coverage spans the whole state.

It varies by payer — Medicare gives one year from the date of service, while Maryland Medicaid (Maryland HealthChoice) and commercial plans like CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield each set their own windows (frequently 90–180 days). We monitor the precise contractual limit for every payer you’re contracted with.
