How Qualigenix Serves Philadelphia Practices
Qualigenix bills all payers for Philadelphia practices, so one team handles the Medical Assistance, Medicare and commercial claims your front desk sees each week. Qualigenix medical billing services cover the full claim flow across 38+ specialties and 133 EMR and EHR platforms. Rules that apply across the state, such as the 180-day limit on original Medical Assistance claims, sit on our medical billing services in Pennsylvania page. This page covers what's specific to Philadelphia County: routing claims among five physical health plans, sending behavioral health claims to the city's own plan and billing dual-eligible patients in Community HealthChoices. Billers are assigned by specialty, so the person who knows your codes also knows which plan each patient carries.
What Medical Billing Services Does Qualigenix Provide in Philadelphia?
Qualigenix runs medical billing for independent Philadelphia practices from the eligibility check to the posted payment. Specialty coders review each charge, billers scrub and submit claims to HealthChoices plans, Community Behavioral Health, Medicare and commercial payers, and the team works denials and aged A/R until every claim closes. You keep your EHR, pay a percentage of collections and get a monthly report with every metric defined.
Codes are checked against the Medical Assistance fee schedule, Novitas coverage policies and commercial payer rules before claims go out.
Medical Billing Services for Philadelphia Practices
Qualigenix runs every billing stage below for Philadelphia practices, and each stage is set up for the county's plans before your first claim goes out under our team.
Plan Confirmed Before Visits
We confirm each patient's HealthChoices, CHC or commercial plan before check-in. From 2027, some adult Medicaid members renew every six months, so we recheck coverage at each visit through eligibility and benefits verification.
Charges Matched to Notes
Specialty coders compare every charge with the visit note before it becomes a claim. Since October 1, 2026, claims carry the new FY 2027 ICD-10-CM codes through medical coding.
Claims Scrubbed by Plan
Each claim runs through edits for its own payer, whether Keystone First, CBH or Novitas, before submission as part of our claim scrubbing and submission work.
Denials Worked to Appeal
Denied claims go back with corrected documentation. Each root cause feeds back to coding, so the same plan edit stops repeating, through denial management.
Aged Claims Worked Daily
Unpaid claims are worked by plan and age bucket, and commercial claims past the 45-day mark are escalated with the payer through accounts receivable follow-up.
Payments Posted to Contract
Each ERA is posted against expected reimbursement, so a HealthChoices or Independence Blue Cross underpayment shows up as a variance through payment posting.

How Onboarding Works
Qualigenix moves a Philadelphia practice to live billing in six steps, with a 6-day average onboarding.
01
Kickoff and System Access
We sign a BAA, connect to your EHR or PM system with no software change and pull an A/R snapshot so no open claim gets dropped.
02
Enrollment and Account Setup
We confirm payer IDs and effective dates with each HealthChoices plan, CBH, Novitas and Independence Blue Cross, and map every service location.
03
Coders and Scrub Rules
Specialty-certified coders are assigned, and scrub edits are built for your highest-volume Philadelphia plans first.
04
EDI, ERA and EFT
Clearinghouse enrollment moves to Qualigenix plan by plan, and a test transaction runs before any live claim goes out.
05
Validation Batch Check
The first batch is coded, scrubbed and checked against expected payment. A plan that isn't effective yet stays on hold until it is.
06
Go Live With Billing
Live claims go out daily, denials get worked to appeal and your legacy A/R is worked in parallel.

PENNSYLVANIA BILLING FAQS
Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently asked questions regarding Medical Assistance, PROMISe portal billing, HealthChoices managed care plans, and Novitas Medicare Part B in Pennsylvania.
No. What matters is a billing team that knows Philadelphia's payers: the five HealthChoices plans, Community Behavioral Health, Novitas and Independence Blue Cross. Qualigenix bills all of them inside your existing EHR, so location doesn't change how claims are built or paid. Book a meeting to review your payer mix.
Yes. Qualigenix bills Geisinger Health Plan, Jefferson Health Plans EverWell, Keystone First, UPMC for You and UnitedHealthcare Community Plan. Each plan's payer ID, filing terms and edits are loaded before your first claim, and the plan is confirmed on the eligibility check before every visit.
Community Behavioral Health is the behavioral health plan for HealthChoices members who live in Philadelphia County. Qualigenix separates behavioral and physical health services at charge entry, so mental health and substance use claims go to CBH and medical claims go to the member's physical health plan.
Novitas Solutions processes Traditional Medicare Part A and Part B claims for Pennsylvania as the Jurisdiction L contractor. Qualigenix builds Medicare claims to Novitas edits and coverage rules, then bills any secondary payer once the Medicare payment posts.
Qualigenix bills Medicare first, then sends the balance to the patient's Community HealthChoices plan. The current CHC plans in Philadelphia are Keystone First Community HealthChoices, PA Health & Wellness and UPMC Community HealthChoices. We confirm both coverages before the visit so the crossover claim goes to the right plan.
Qualigenix charges a percentage of collections, so the fee tracks what your practice actually collects. The exact percentage depends on your specialty, claim volume and payer mix. A billing specialist can quote it after reviewing your numbers in a short meeting.
