What Medical Coding Services Does Qualigenix Provide in Detroit?
Qualigenix gives Detroit practices certified coders who review documentation, assign ICD-10-CM, CPT and HCPCS Level II codes, apply modifiers, raise compliant physician queries and run two levels of quality review. We code for Wayne County's Medicaid health plans, MI Coordinated Health plans, Medicare and commercial payers, inside your current EHR.
How Qualigenix Serves Detroit Practices
Qualigenix medical coding services match each Detroit practice with coders who work in its specialty every day. A coder who codes cardiology all week catches the modifier and documentation gaps a generalist misses. Detroit coding has more than one rulebook. Michigan Medicaid runs its own correct coding edits, each Wayne County Medicaid health plan publishes its own reimbursement policies, Medicare follows its contractor's local coverage determinations and commercial insurers add their own.
Our coders keep a policy sheet for each payer your practice bills, and every chart is coded against the payer on the claim. For coding rules that apply across the state, see our page on medical coding services in Michigan.
Medical Coding for Wayne County's Medicaid Plans
Michigan Medicaid and the plans that manage it in Wayne County deny claims on code pairs, unit counts and documentation that Medicare might accept. Qualigenix codes to those rules before the claim leaves.
Medicaid Correct Coding Edits
Michigan Medicaid applies the Medicaid National Correct Coding Initiative edits in CHAMPS, its claims system. These edits block code pairs that shouldn't be billed together on the same day and cap the units allowed per code. Wayne County's Medicaid health plans apply the same edits, and plans run post-payment reviews to recover payments that slipped past them. Qualigenix checks every procedure pair and unit count against the current Medicaid edit tables before a Detroit claim goes out. When a pair needs a modifier to bill, the coder adds it only if the note shows a separate service, and flags the chart for a query if it doesn't.
Eight Plans, Eight Policies
The Detroit Metro region's Medicaid health plan contracts, in place since October 1, 2024, went to Aetna Better Health of Michigan, Blue Cross Complete of Michigan, HAP CareSource, McLaren Health Plan, Meridian Health Plan of Michigan, Molina Healthcare of Michigan, Priority Health Choice and UnitedHealthcare Community Plan. Each publishes its own payment policies and its own list of codes that need authorization. Since January 1, 2026, dual-eligible Wayne County adults can also be in a MI Coordinated Health plan, which follows Medicare Advantage coding rules for most services. Qualigenix codes each chart against the plan on the patient's card that day, not a single generic rule set.
Audits and Record Requests
The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General runs post-payment audits of Medicaid claims. In June 2026 the state awarded its Medicaid recovery audit contract to Health Management Systems, with the contract running through August 31, 2028 under the Inspector General's oversight. When an audit finds a problem, the provider gets 30 calendar days to send rebuttal documentation on the draft findings. Qualigenix codes each Detroit chart as if it will be pulled. Every code ties to a line in the note, every query and answer is kept in an audit trail, and our own prospective and retrospective reviews find weak spots before an outside auditor does. If a record request arrives, your coding history and query log are ready to send.
Medicare and Commercial Payers for Detroit Practices
WPS Government Health Administrators processes traditional Medicare Part A and Part B claims for Michigan as the Jurisdiction 8 contractor. Its local coverage determinations list which diagnosis codes support medical necessity for a given test or procedure. Qualigenix coders check each diagnosis-to-procedure match against the applicable WPS policy and national coverage determination before a claim is released. MI Coordinated Health plans and other Medicare Advantage plans in Wayne County score risk from HCC diagnosis codes, so complete and specific diagnosis coding affects what those plans pay. Commercial insurers in Michigan publish their own coding and reimbursement policies, and our coders apply the policy of the payer on each claim.
