Pharmacy Billing Services

Pharmacies lose money right where pharmacy benefit stops and medical benefit starts.
A Part B drug gets sent to Part D and denied. A POS rejection sits for 2 weeks. A prior auth expires before the patient gets the drug.
At SwiftCare Billing, we handle Pharmacy Billing Services for pharmacies that bill medical. Independent, specialty, LTC, compounding, and clinic pharmacies. We work inside your software, fix the leaks, and get claims paid on the first pass.

Pharmacy Medical Billing Services for Independent, Specialty, and Long-Term Care Pharmacies

No two pharmacies bill the same. A retail script isn’t an infusion. An LTC claim isn’t a 340B claim. Our pharmacy medical billing services are built around how you dispense.
We serve:

Immunizations, diabetic supplies, and Part B drugs that need CMS-1500 instead of NCPDP D.0.

We are a pharmacy medical billing company for independent pharmacies.

High-cost biologics, J-codes, prior auth management, and coordination with specialty distributors.

Monthly billing cycles, bed holds, multi-payer claims, and reconciliation by facility.

340B pricing, contract pharmacy rules, and documentation for audits.

In-office dispensing, ASP pricing, and medical benefit claims tied to clinic visits.

Bill both PBM and medical? We keep them separate so nothing falls through.

Where Pharmacies Lose Revenue
Between the Pharmacy Benefit and the Medical Benefit

This is where money disappears. Most pharmacies run PBM fine. Medical is different. Different codes, rules, and payers.

The 5 Biggest Leaks We Fix

POS Rejections That Never Get Reworked

A D.0 rejection doesn’t mean the patient isn’t covered. Most Part B drugs get rejected at POS because no one tried medical. We rework them within 24 hours.

Part B Drugs and Supplies Billed as Part D by Default

Insulin pumps, nebulizers, post-transplant drugs, oral chemo. Bill them to Part D and you get an auto-denial.

Prior Authorizations That Expire Before the Fill

Specialty PAs take 3-4 weeks. If no one tracks the date, it expires. We track and renew before expiry.

Underpayments, Short-Pays, and Clawbacks Nobody Reconciles

Payers pay less than contract or take money back months later. Without a fee schedule check, you never catch it.

A/R Sitting Past 90 Days

Medical claims age differently. Some payers give 12 months. We work aging buckets every week.
This is why you need pharmacy claims billing services that understand both sides.

Our Pharmacy Coding and Billing Services

Medical billing for pharmacies starts with coding. J-code, NDC, units, diagnosis. All of it has to match.
Here is what is included:

Eligibility and Benefit Investigation

We check if the drug is Part B or Part D before the patient arrives. Medical vs pharmacy benefit too.

Prior Authorization and Appeal Support

We collect clinicals, submit PA, and appeal denials. For specialty drugs, we track renewal dates.

HCPCS J-Code, NDC, and Unit Conversion

Payers want J-codes + NDC + correct units. 1 vial ≠ 1 unit. We convert it right so claims don’t reject.

Medical Benefit Claim Submission (CMS-1500 and 837P)

We file to commercial payers and Medicare Part B through the medical portal, not the PBM switch.

Payment Posting and Remittance Reconciliation

ERA and EFT posted. Every payment matched to the claim.

Patient Statements and Copay Assistance Coordination

For high-cost drugs, we coordinate copay cards and foundation support so patients can afford the fill.

Pharmacy Claims Billing Services From First Submission to Final Payment

A claim isn’t done when it’s sent. It’s done when it’s paid.
Claim Scrubbing Before Submission
We check for missing J-code, wrong units, diagnosis mismatch, and payer rules before it goes out.
POS and medical rejections are worked the same day.
We track denial reasons by the payer. If it’s a documentation issue, we fix the workflow.

No black box. You see where every claim is in your dashboard.

Pharmacy AR Management Services That Work Aged Claims, Not Just New Ones

New claims are easy. Aged claims pay the bills.

A/R Aging by Payer and Bucket
We break A/R into 0-30, 31-60, 61-90, 90+. Then we work the oldest first.
Recovery Before Timely Filing Closes

Some payers allow 12 months. Others 90 days. We calendar every deadline.

Small-Balance and Write-Off Policy

We don’t auto write-off balances under $25. We go after them.

Pharmacy Reimbursement Services That Catch Underpayments Before They Age Out

Payers underpay. It happens a lot.
Check TypeWhat We DoWhy It Matters
Fee Schedule Validation Compare paid amount to contract rate Catch short-pays immediately
ASP, WAC, NADAC Reference Checks Verify Part B drug pricing against published rates Prevent underpayment on J-codes
Recoupment and Clawback Review Audit take-backs and appeal if wrong Recover money already paid

If a payer takes money back 6 months later, we find it and fight it.

Frequently Asked Questions About
Pharmacy Billing Services

What is the difference between pharmacy billing and medical billing?

Pharmacy billing uses NCPDP D.0 through a PBM. It’s for retail scripts. Medical billing uses CMS-1500 or 837P. It’s for Part B drugs, supplies, immunizations, and DME. Insulin is pharmacy. An insulin pump is medical. If you only run PBM, you miss 20-30% of revenue. Our Pharmacy Billing Services handle both.

Yes, if you’re enrolled in Medicare Part B and DMEPOS. Drugs: post-transplant immunosuppressants, oral anti-cancer drugs, drugs through DME. Supplies: diabetic supplies, nebulizer drugs/equipment, infusion pumps. Each has rules. We verify eligibility first.

Often yes. POS denials happen because it’s covered under medical. Example: a nebulizer drug rejected at POS may be Part B. We check within 24 hours and refile to medical if needed.

Independents, specialty, LTC, and hospital outpatient. 80% of our clients have 1-5 locations.

PBM: 30-60 days. Medicare Part B: 60-90 days. Commercial: 45-120 days. State Medicaid: 60-120 days. We follow up weekly.

Ask 3 things:

  1. Do they do medical billing, not just PBM?
  2. Do they have pharmacy coders who know J-codes and NDC?
  3. Can they show payer reporting?

If not, they’re generalists.
