What makes Atlanta medical & specialty coding different from a national billing company?
Atlanta billing runs on Georgia payers — Medicare and Medicare Advantage, Georgia Medicaid / Georgia Families managed care (CareSource, Molina Healthcare, UnitedHealthcare Community Plan, Humana Healthy Horizons), PeachCare for Kids (Georgia's CHIP program), and Texas Medicaid managed care — and on the specialties concentrated around Emory/Clifton Corridor (Druid Hills) — anchored by Emory University Hospital, the CDC, and Children's Healthcare of Atlanta. We tune medical & specialty coding to those rules instead of a one-size-fits-all template.
Which Atlanta payers do you work with?
