What medical billing services does Qualigenix provide in Portland?
Qualigenix runs the full claim cycle for Portland practices: eligibility checks, charge review, claim scrubbing, submission, payment posting, denial appeals and A/R follow-up. We bill Oregon Health Plan claims through both Multnomah County CCOs, Medicare through Noridian, and all commercial payers. You pay a percentage of collections, and most practices go live in 6 days.
How Qualigenix Serves Portland Practices
Qualigenix medical billing services cover independent practices across Portland and the rest of Multnomah County. A typical Portland payer mix has three parts: Oregon Health Plan members enrolled in a coordinated care organization (CCO), Medicare patients in Original Medicare or a Medicare Advantage plan, and commercial members. We bill all payers, so one team handles the whole mix.
Statewide timelines, prompt-pay rules and Oregon Health Plan fee-for-service filing are covered on our medical billing services in Oregon page. This page covers what changes when the patient lives in Multnomah County: which CCO the claim goes to, which plan inside that CCO pays it, and which Medicare plan sits on top for dual-eligible patients.
Medical Billing for Multnomah County's OHP Plans
Qualigenix routes every Oregon Health Plan claim from a Portland practice to the right CCO before it's sent. Multnomah County has two CCOs, Health Share of Oregon and Trillium Community Health Plan, and they pay differently. Sending a claim to the wrong one is one of the most common reasons a clean Medicaid claim still comes back unpaid.
Health Share Plan Partners
Health Share of Oregon is the state's largest CCO, serving Clackamas, Multnomah and Washington counties. It doesn't pay physical health claims itself. It works through five risk-holding delivery networks, including CareOregon, Kaiser Permanente and OHSU Health IDS. The member's ID card shows which one pays. That network changed on January 1, 2026. Members in the Legacy Health PacificSource plan moved to CareOregon, and Legacy Medical Group joined the CareOregon network. CareOregon honored Legacy Health PacificSource authorizations through March 31, 2026; services after that follow CareOregon's own rules. Qualigenix checks the plan on file for each visit, so a claim for a former Legacy Health PacificSource member goes to CareOregon, not to a plan that no longer holds the risk.
Trillium Community Health Plan
Trillium Community Health Plan is the second CCO in the tri-county area. It covers physical health, mental health and substance use treatment for its members, so Qualigenix bills those services straight to Trillium instead of splitting them across plans. We confirm at intake whether the patient is a Trillium or Health Share member, since members can switch between the two through OHP. CCO contracts expect providers to submit claims within four months of the date of service, with up to 12 months allowed when needed. Qualigenix works to the four-month mark on every CCO claim, so the 12-month limit is a backstop, not the plan.
Statewide Oregon Billing Rules
Open-card (fee-for-service) OHP claims, commercial prompt-pay timelines and patient-balance rules apply across the state. We explain how we handle them on our Oregon medical billing rules page.
Medicare and Commercial Payers for Portland Practices
Qualigenix bills Original Medicare Part A and Part B claims for Portland practices through Noridian Healthcare Solutions, the Medicare contractor for Jurisdiction F, which includes Oregon. Claim edits follow Noridian's local coverage policies. For Medicare Advantage patients, plans must decide standard prior authorization requests within 7 calendar days and urgent ones within 72 hours since 2026, and we confirm the decision is on file before the claim goes out. Dual-eligible patients need a second check. Multnomah County has six dual-eligible special needs plans for 2026, including CareOregon Advantage Plus and Providence Medicare Dual Plus. When a patient is in one, we bill that plan first and send the Medicaid portion second, so the claim doesn't stall at either payer. For commercial members, we bill Regence, Kaiser Permanente and every other plan your patients carry, then track each claim against Oregon's 30-day clean-claim deadline.
