Family Medicine

Medical Billing Built for the Pace of Family Medicine

High patient volume and low-complexity visits mean small coding mistakes compound fast. We keep wellness visits, chronic care management, and referrals billed clean — so your revenue matches the work you actually did.

What We Handle for Family Medicine Practices

Annual wellness visit & preventive coding

AWVs, preventive screenings, and immunization administration get coded and billed correctly the first time — the highest-volume, most error-prone claims in a family practice.

Chronic care management (CCM) billing

CCM time tracking and billing for your diabetic, hypertensive, and multi-condition patients, so recurring monthly revenue doesn't fall through the cracks.

Referral & prior-authorization coordination

We track outbound referrals and prior-auth requirements so specialist visits and procedures don't get denied for a paperwork gap on your end.

Denial follow-up within 48 hours

Every denied claim gets worked within 48 hours and tracked back to its root cause, instead of sitting in a drawer as revenue you already earned.

Why Family Practices Choose PrecisionBill

Family medicine runs on volume — dozens of visit types, recurring CCM patients, and a steady stream of referrals. Our experienced coders specialize in exactly that mix, we sign a BAA with every practice, and we're fully HIPAA-compliant. Most family practices see a measurable drop in denial rate within 60–90 days of switching to us.

We integrate with Athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, Kareo, DrChrono, and NextGen, so your front desk and providers keep working exactly as they do today. Have more questions? See our full FAQ.

Where Family Medicine Practices Actually Lose Revenue

These four patterns account for the majority of the unbilled or downcoded revenue we find in a first 90-day audit of a family practice.

AWV vs. same-day problem visit (modifier 25)

Medicare's Annual Wellness Visit (G0438/G0439) billed alongside a same-day, medically necessary problem-oriented E/M requires clean modifier 25 documentation — payers increasingly downcode or deny the second service when the note doesn't clearly separate the two.

CCM time that never gets billed

Chronic Care Management (CPT 99490, 99439) requires 20+ minutes per month of non-face-to-face care coordination, logged in a way the payer will accept. Practices without a dedicated tracking process routinely deliver this care and never bill for it.

Vaccine administration bundling

Immunization admin codes (90460–90474) have their own bundling rules against the vaccine product itself, and VFC-eligible pediatric patients add another layer of payer-specific billing quirks that are easy to get wrong at high volume.

Behavioral health and SDOH screening add-ons

Depression screening (G0444), SDOH risk assessment, and other screening add-on codes performed during a routine visit are frequently completed by staff but left off the claim entirely — that's billable work walking out the door unclaimed.

Switching Billers Without Disrupting Your Practice

The most common reason family practices delay switching billers is fear of a gap in submitted claims. Our onboarding runs in parallel with whatever you're doing today, so nothing stops while the transition happens.

Week 1

Free 90-day audit of your actual claims — we identify denial patterns and unbilled revenue before you commit to anything.

Weeks 2–3

Payer credentialing and EHR integration happen in the background — your front desk and providers keep working exactly as they do today.

Week 4

Go-live. No long-term contract locks you in — the performance-based fee is the reason to stay, not a clause in an agreement.

What Success Looks Like, Measured Monthly

We don't ask you to take our word for it. Every family practice we work with gets a monthly report tracking the numbers that actually matter: denial rate, net collection rate, days in accounts receivable, and first-pass clean claim rate. Most practices see a measurable drop in denial rate within 60–90 days of switching to us, and the same report that shows that improvement is the one you use to hold us accountable going forward — not a sales deck we hand you once and never revisit.

Because family medicine runs on volume rather than a handful of high-dollar claims, small percentage improvements in clean claim rate and CCM capture compound quickly across hundreds of monthly encounters — which is exactly where a generalist in-house biller juggling five other duties tends to fall behind.
