What we handle for oncology practices

Billers are assigned by specialty, so the person working your claims already knows your codes and your payers.

Chemotherapy administration

Infusion and injection administration billed to documented start and stop times with correct hierarchy.

Drug billing

J-codes billed to the exact units administered, with documented waste from single-dose vials.

Radiation oncology

Treatment planning, simulation and delivery billed across the course of treatment.

Prior authorisation

Regimens tracked against approved authorisations before treatment is delivered.

Where oncology claims usually go wrong

These are the four issues we see most often when we take over a oncology practice.

J-code unit errors

Units are defined per drug, not per vial. A unit error on a biologic can be thousands of dollars in either direction.

Documented waste

Discarded drug from single-dose vials is billable with modifier JW and documentation. Unbilled waste is pure loss.

Administration hierarchy

Only one initial administration code per encounter. Sequencing errors deny the whole set.

Authorisation for regimen changes

A change in regimen usually needs a new authorisation. Treating first is uncompensated care.

How we work

Eligibility, every day

Every next-day scheduled patient is verified for active coverage before the visit.

Charges validated

Codes and documentation are checked after the note is signed, before the claim is submitted.

Denials appealed

Every denial is reviewed, corrected and resubmitted. Nothing is written off by default.

Monthly reporting

Paid claims and AR aging reports so you can see exactly where your money is.
