Urgent Care Medical Billing Services
Fast, Accurate Billing for Fast-Paced, Walk-In Care—Without the Revenue Bottlenecks. Your clinic moves quickly. Your billing should too. We specialize in urgent care coding, POS accuracy, high-volume claim management, and real-time eligibility—so you can focus on care, not collections. Let’s uncover missed revenue and speed up your cash flow.
Why Urgent Care Centers Need Specialized Billing
Urgent care medical billing comes with its own set of rules, coding challenges, and reimbursement hurdles. Unlike primary care or emergency departments, urgent care clinics deal with high patient turnover, walk-ins, after-hours visits, and a wide range of services—from laceration repairs and X-rays to flu tests and minor procedures—all billed under strict POS 20 or POS 22 requirements.
If your billing partner doesn’t understand the nuances of urgent care revenue cycles, you risk delayed payments, denied claims, and lost income.
At Swiftcare Billing, we bring specialized experience in urgent care coding, eligibility verification, claim scrubbing, and fast turnaround—helping your clinic stay profitable and patient-focused. Whether you run a single-location practice or a multi-site urgent care chain, we ensure your revenue moves as fast as your care.
Common Urgent Care Billing Issues
- POS Code Confusion (POS 20 vs POS 22): Many claims get denied or underpaid due to incorrect place of service coding. Urgent care billing requires accurate use of POS 20 (standalone clinic) vs. POS 22 (hospital outpatient)—and even a simple mistake can cost you thousands.
- Incomplete Charge Capture: In fast-moving environments, it's easy to miss billable procedures like nebulizer treatments, injections, laceration repairs, or point-of-care tests. These minor slip-ups quickly add up to significant revenue losses.
- High Claim Volumes & Workflow Bottlenecks: Urgent care centers process hundreds of claims weekly. Without automation and claim scrubbing, errors multiply, staff burn out, and payments slow down.
- Front Desk Gaps in Eligibility Checks: When staff skip insurance verification to keep the line moving, it results in denied claims, patient confusion, and delayed reimbursements. Verification must be fast—but also accurate.
