Huntington billing runs on West Virginia payers — West Virginia Medicaid (Mountain Health Trust) — administered through four MCOs: Aetna Better Health of West Virginia, The Health Plan of West Virginia, Wellpoint (formerly UniCare), and Highmark Health Options West Virginia, Medicare and Medicare Advantage — Palmetto GBA is the Medicare Administrative Contractor (MAC) for Jurisdiction M covering WV and VA, Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield West Virginia — dominant commercial payer in the tri-state region, and Texas Medicaid managed care — and on the specialties concentrated around Hal Greer Boulevard Medical Campus — home to Cabell Huntington Hospital, the Hoops Family Children's Hospital, the Edwards Comprehensive Cancer Center, and multiple Marshall Health outpatient clinics. We tune medical & specialty coding to those rules instead of a one-size-fits-all template.

Can FYNQ work with our existing Huntington EHR or practice-management system?
Yes. We work inside your current system, so your Huntington practice does not have to switch software to start medical & specialty coding.
Do you handle Texas Medicaid (STAR / STAR+PLUS) coding and claims?
Yes. Texas Medicaid runs through STAR and STAR+PLUS managed-care plans, each with its own rules; we code and submit to those plans the way they expect.
How does Texas not expanding Medicaid affect billing for Huntington practices?
Texas has not expanded Medicaid and carries one of the highest uninsured rates in the country, so Huntington practices see more self-pay and charity-care work. Clean coding and clear patient billing matter more here than in expansion states.

Yes. The Huntington market is specialty-dense — oncology, cardiology, and more — and our medical & specialty coding is set up for specialty code sets, modifiers, and prior authorization.
Is FYNQ HIPAA-aware?
Yes. FYNQ uses HIPAA-aware workflows. Our public website never collects patient health information (PHI); we work with practices, not patients.

Pricing depends on your claim volume and how much of the revenue cycle you hand off. The free Billing Health Check includes a transparent scope and quote for your Huntington practice — with no obligation.
How long does it take to onboard a Huntington practice?
Onboarding timelines depend on your systems and payer mix; we scope a realistic timeline for your Huntington practice during the Billing Health Check, and we work inside your current software so there's no migration.
