How Qualigenix Serves Lexington Practices
Qualigenix bills for independent practices in Lexington, from solo primary care offices to multi-provider specialty groups. A typical Fayette County payer mix has four parts: Kentucky Medicaid managed care, traditional Medicare, Medicare Advantage and dual-eligible plans, and commercial insurance. Each one has its own payer ID, filing window and appeal path, and a claim sent to the wrong one comes back unpaid. Our billers set up every payer you see before the first claim goes out. The rules that apply across the state, such as prompt-pay timelines and commercial filing terms, sit on our page for medical billing services in Kentucky. This page covers what changes for a Lexington practice: the county's Medicaid plans, its dual-eligible plans and the Medicare contractor that pays your Part B claims.
What medical billing services does Qualigenix provide in Lexington?
Qualigenix runs the full claim cycle for Lexington practices: eligibility checks, charge and coding review, claim scrubbing, submission, payment posting, denial appeals and A/R follow-up. We bill all payers, including the five Kentucky Medicaid managed care plans,
Medicare through CGS Administrators and commercial insurers. Pricing is a percentage of collections.
Billing for Fayette County's Medicaid Plans
Kentucky Medicaid sends most members through managed care. For the 2026-2027 contract term the state works with five managed care organizations, and all five cover every region, so a Lexington patient can carry cards from Aetna Better Health of Kentucky, Humana Healthy Horizons in Kentucky, Passport by Molina Healthcare, UnitedHealthcare Community Plan of Kentucky, or WellCare of Kentucky. Anthem left Kentucky Medicaid managed care on January 1, 2025. Claims for former Anthem members now belong to whichever plan the member moved to, and Qualigenix checks the plan on file for the date of service, not the card from the last visit.
Five Plans, Separate Rules
Each plan keeps its own provider portal, payer ID, prior authorization list and reimbursement policies. Humana and Passport both give providers 365 days from the date of service to file most professional claims. Qualigenix files inside a few days of the visit and tracks every Medicaid claim by date of service, so a claim never drifts toward the limit while it waits on a fix. When eligibility is added after the visit, the clock changes. Passport, for one, allows 180 days from the enrollment notice, and we date those claims from the notice.
Fee-for-Service Medicaid Claims
Some Kentucky Medicaid members stay in traditional fee-for-service coverage instead of a plan. Those claims go to Kentucky Medicaid directly, which expects them within 12 months of service. Our billers route each claim by the member's coverage type, so a fee-for-service claim doesn't sit in a plan's queue and get rejected.
Statewide Rules in Detail
Interest on late payments, commercial clean-claim timelines and patient billing rules apply across Kentucky, not only in Fayette County. Read Kentucky medical billing rules on our state page for the full workflow.
Medicare and Commercial Payers for Lexington Practices
CGS Administrators processes Medicare Part A and Part B claims for Kentucky and Ohio as the Jurisdiction 15 contractor. Qualigenix builds Lexington Medicare claims to CGS edits and its local coverage policies before submission. Fayette County also has 16 dual-eligible special needs plans for 2026, including Humana Dual Select, Aetna Medicare Partial Dual, UHC Dual Complete and Wellcare Dual Access plans. For a dual-eligible patient we bill the Medicare plan first, then send the balance to the right Kentucky Medicaid payer with the primary payer's remittance attached. On the commercial side, Kentucky insurers must pay clean claims within 30 days. Late payments carry interest of 12% a year, rising to 21% after 60 days, and our A/R team checks late commercial payments for that interest.

How Onboarding Works
Qualigenix brings a Lexington practice live in 6 days on average, in six steps, with no change to your software.
01
Kickoff and System Access
We sign the BAA, name an onboarding owner and connect to your EHR or practice management system. We also pull a snapshot of open A/R.
02
Enrollment and Account Setup
We confirm payer IDs and effective dates for each Kentucky Medicaid plan, CGS and your commercial payers, then load fee schedules.
03
Coders and Scrub Rules
Coders matched to your specialty start work, and claim edits are set for your highest-volume payers.
04
EDI, ERA and EFT
We redirect EDI enrollment, route remittances into posting and confirm deposits match, using a test transaction first.
05
Validation Batch Check
The first batch is coded, scrubbed and checked against expected payment. Any payer not yet effective goes on a hold-and-release plan.
06
Live Claims Begin
Daily claims go out under Qualigenix while your legacy A/R is worked in parallel.
