What's included in our Podiatry Revenue Cycle Management Services?

All the stages of the revenue cycle are included in our podiatry revenue cycle management services, like:

1. Podiatry Revenue Cycle Management

Prime Doc Billing manages the entire revenue cycle of a podiatric practice. The process includes eligibility checks for diabetic and Medicare podiatry care and denial resolution based on podiatry Local Coverage Determinations (LCDs). Our team handles clean claim submission by applying podiatry-specific rules with precision.
From ulcer debridement frequency rules to bunion surgery global periods, we understand the podiatric RCM process entirely. Our experts handle all the steps of your podiatric revenue cycle management with accuracy.

2. Medical Coding for Podiatry

We understand the unique rules for podiatry medical coding, including specialties like callus trimming, lesion debridement, nail avulsion, and other minor procedures. Our certified coders are specialized in foot and ankle coding and documentation. We ensure every document is properly coded with correct codes like CPT, ICD-10, and HCPCS codes and related modifiers, such as TA-T9 (toe modifiers) and Q7/Q8/Q9 for class findings.
Our main goal is to reduce claim denials and ensure compliance specific to podiatry.

3. Claim Submission and Follow-up

Our experts handle claim submission with precision. We scrub the claims to identify podiatry billing errors before submission. Claim scrubbing verifies coding accuracy, documentation completeness, compliance, and podiatry payer-specific rules before submission.


Prime Doc Billing’s team ensures a thorough check and follow-up after submission. We track the claims daily to check if there’s an error. Our team also identifies underpayments and delays early to resolve rejections beforehand.


When an error is identified, we promptly correct and submit the claim. Our proactive approach helps the claims get maximum reimbursements.

4. Denial Management for Podiatry

Podiatric claims often get rejected due to strict Medicare and payer-specific policies. Prime Doc Billing focuses on preventing rejections with accurate coding and claim submissions. When a claim is denied, our team identifies the cause, such as LCD conflicts, missing modifiers, or diagnosis mismatches.


Our podiatric experts prepare and submit appeals promptly to eliminate revenue leakage. We ensure that our podiatric-related denials are resolved quickly and successfully.

5. EHR Integration for your Podiatry Practice

Prime Doc Billing’s podiatric experts work directly inside podiatry EHR systems and PMS platforms. EHR integration ensures a seamless flow of wound and ulcer documentation, class findings, surgical op notes, diabetic foot exam notes, and dispensing notes.
Our EHR integration protects your practice from podiatry denials related to documentation.

6. Patient Collections

Our team manages podiatry-specific patient billings and payment collections. These collections include DME billing, self-pay orthotic balances, and co-pays for routine office visits, and deductibles in nail and callus care. Our services also include making a payment plan for chronic care patients. Our experts maintain transparent communication with billing statements and payment explanations, since most of the podiatry patients are elderly, diabetic, or mobility-limited.

7. Virtual Assistance for Podiatrists

Prime Doc Billing’s virtual assistants are trained in the front-office podiatry workflows. Our team helps the practices deal with insurance verification for diabetic and Medicare foot care. We also explain podiatry benefits to patients and handle referrals from PCPs and endocrinologists.
Our front-office virtual team prepares charts for diabetic exam documentation. We work as an extension of your podiatry team without any additional costs.
