Virginia practices bill a payer mix that shifts by region and by patient. The Department of Medical Assistance Services (DMAS) runs Cardinal Care, which covers about 1.4 million Virginians through five managed care plans plus fee-for-service. Medicare Part B claims go to Palmetto GBA for most of the state, but practices in Arlington and Fairfax counties (including the cities of Fairfax and Falls Church) and the City of Alexandria bill Part B to Novitas Solutions. Commercial claims go to Anthem, Sentara Health Plans, Aetna, CareFirst, UnitedHealthcare, Cigna, Kaiser Permanente and smaller carriers. Qualigenix bills all of them. We work inside your existing EHR on any of 133 platforms, so your front desk keeps its current screens. Billing also ties into the rest of the cycle. Our revenue cycle management services in Virginia cover eligibility through final payment, our medical coding services in Virginia feed clean codes into every claim, and our credentialing services in Virginia keep each provider enrolled so claims don't deny for participation errors.
Qualigenix runs the full billing cycle for Virginia practices: eligibility checks, coding review, claim scrubbing, submission, payment posting, denial appeals and A/R follow-up. We bill Cardinal Care fee-for-service and its five managed care plans, Medicare through Palmetto GBA or Novitas Solutions, and every commercial payer. Pricing is a percentage of collections.
We maintain high first-pass acceptance rates across all regional payers in Virginia.
Qualigenix owns each billing stage for Virginia practices, from the first eligibility check to the posted payment. Every stage below runs inside your EHR, reports into one monthly summary and is part of our full-cycle medical billing service.
Qualigenix checks Cardinal Care eligibility in the DMAS MES portal or MediCall before each visit, because a member's plan can change between appointments. Starting with renewals initiated in January 2027, Virginia's expansion adults renew every six months, so we recheck them through insurance verification and benefits.
Specialty coders compare each charge with the visit note before it becomes a claim, catching undercoding and missed services at the source. New ICD-10-CM codes took effect October 1, 2026, and codes retired that day now reject, so our medical coding team codes every Virginia chart to the current set.
Every claim runs through payer-specific edits for DMAS, the five Cardinal Care plans, Palmetto GBA, Novitas Solutions and each commercial carrier before it goes out. That scrub is how Qualigenix holds a 98% clean-claim rate on first submission across client practices.
Qualigenix appeals denials with corrected documentation instead of writing them off, then sends the root cause back to coding and your front desk so the same denial doesn't repeat. Our denial management team overturns 79% of the denials it works, company-wide.
Old Virginia A/R is sorted by payer and age, then worked claim by claim, with Cardinal Care fee-for-service claims ranked by how close they sit to the 12-month DMAS window. Qualigenix has recovered $50M+ in A/R for client practices through A/R recovery.
Qualigenix posts each ERA and EFT against your contracted rate, so a short payment from a commercial plan or a Cardinal Care managed care plan shows up the day it posts. Payment posting also flags late-paid clean claims that owe Virginia prompt-pay interest.
These are company-wide results across Qualigenix client practices, not Virginia-only figures.

Qualigenix takes Virginia practices live in 6 days on average, in six steps.
We sign the BAA, name your onboarding owner and connect to your EMR or practice management system with no software change. We collect NPIs, tax IDs, fee schedules, service locations and a current A/R snapshot.
We confirm payer IDs and effective dates for DMAS, each Cardinal Care plan, Medicare and your commercial payers, and map every service location to its Medicare contractor.
Specialty-certified coders are matched to your specialties, and scrub edits are set for your highest-volume Virginia payers.
We redirect EDI enrollment to Qualigenix, route ERAs into posting, match EFTs to remittances and run a test transaction before any live claim goes out.
Your first batch is coded, scrubbed and checked against expected payment. Any payer not yet effective goes on hold so no claim goes out early.
Claims go out daily under Qualigenix, and your legacy A/R is worked in parallel so older money keeps coming in.
Independent practices across Virginia partner with Qualigenix for consistent cash flow and high claim accuracy.
Each Virginia account gets certified coders who work your specialty and a dedicated biller who knows your payer mix. You talk to the same team every month, and the people working your claims already know your fee schedules and your Cardinal Care plans.
Qualigenix works in 133 EMR and EHR platforms, so your staff keeps its current system and screens. We connect through access you grant, with no new software to buy and no change to how your front desk schedules or checks in patients.
Monthly reports show clean-claim rate, denial rate, days in A/R and collections by payer, with the definition of each metric printed beside it. Cardinal Care, Medicare and commercial results appear separately, so you can see which payer group needs attention.
Most practices go live in 6 days. Legacy A/R keeps getting worked during the switch, so there's no gap in cash flow while your claims move to Qualigenix and your staff keeps seeing patients.
Frequently asked questions about our setup and support in Virginia.
Qualigenix serves independent practices across Virginia and bills Cardinal Care, Medicare and commercial payers from one team. When you compare companies, ask about first-pass clean-claim rate, denial rate, onboarding time and whether they know both Palmetto GBA and Novitas Solutions rules.

Yes. Qualigenix bills DMAS for fee-for-service members and bills Aetna Better Health of Virginia, Anthem HealthKeepers Plus, Humana Healthy Horizons of Virginia, Sentara Health Plans and UnitedHealthcare for managed care members. We confirm the member's plan before each claim so it goes to the right payer the first time.
Every claim is tracked against its payer's filing limit from the date of service: 12 months for Cardinal Care fee-for-service, 12 months for Medicare and each commercial contract's own limit. Claims close to a deadline move to the front of the queue, and we keep proof of submission for every claim.
Yes. Qualigenix bills Medicare Part A and Part B through Palmetto GBA for most of Virginia and bills Part B to Novitas Solutions for practices in Arlington County, Fairfax County and the City of Alexandria. We also bill Medicare Advantage plans and Medicaid crossover claims after Medicare pays.
Qualigenix bills all payers. That includes Cardinal Care fee-for-service and its managed care plans, Medicare, Medicare Advantage, commercial carriers and patient balances. If a payer covers your patients, we bill it. Ask a billing specialist how your current payer mix would move over.
Qualigenix onboards practices in 6 days on average. We sign the BAA, connect to your EHR, verify payer enrollments, set scrub rules and run a test transaction before live claims go out. Your old A/R keeps getting worked during the switch, so cash flow doesn't stop.
