Why Nephrology Billing Can Cost You Revenue
Swiftcare Billing resolves these issues through specialized workflows, payer-specific expertise, and continuous audit readiness.
ESRD Bundle Errors
Missing or incorrect billing for monthly dialysis bundles leads to underpayments.
Dialysis Coding Complexity
Frequent CPT and HCPCS updates require vigilance to avoid denials.
Vascular Access Reimbursements
Modifier or documentation errors can delay fistula/graft payments.
Lab Denials
Improper lab coding, misaligned diagnoses, or missing documentation trigger rejections.
Medicare Audits
ESRD-focused audits are standard and require precise records and coding accuracy.
Coordination of Benefits Challenges
Mismanagement of secondary and tertiary insurance can result in lost revenue.

Our Nephrology Billing Services
Patient Registration & Insurance Verification
We confirm ESRD status, dialysis coverage, and secondary insurance before the first visit. Accurate eligibility checks prevent claim delays.
Nephrology Coding & Documentation Review
Certified coders assign CPT, ICD-10, and HCPCS codes for dialysis supervision, AV fistula/graft procedures, office and hospital visits, and labs. Documentation is verified to meet payer requirements.
Monthly Dialysis Billing
All MCP services are tracked, and correct G codes are submitted each month. Patients’ recurring dialysis visits are never missed or misbilled.
Claims Scrubbing & Electronic Submission
Claims are reviewed for modifier accuracy, diagnosis matching, and compliance with ESRD-specific requirements before submission. This reduces denials and accelerates payment.
Denial Management & Appeals
Denied claims are corrected, recoded, and submitted with evidence-based appeals. We follow up with payers to ensure reimbursement.
Payment Posting & AR Control
ERAs are posted, partial payments are resolved, and AR reports are cleaned weekly to maintain lean, predictable cash flow.

You receive detailed monthly reports on collections, denial trends, and payer performance. Audit-ready documentation ensures long-term compliance.
