Ophthalmology Billing Services in New Hampshire
New Hampshire's ophthalmology practices face unique billing challenges shaped by Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield's commercial rules, NH Medicaid requirements, and Novitas Solutions Medicare policies. Our AAPC-certified coders specialize in both NH payer rules and ophthalmology coding complexity.
Why New Hampshire Ophthalmology Practices Need Specialized Billing
New Hampshire's healthcare market includes 4,000+ physicians, and ophthalmology practices here face a payer market dominated by Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield on the commercial side and NH Medicaid on the public payer side. Medicare claims are processed through Novitas Solutions, which applies its own Local Coverage Determinations that directly affect ophthalmology procedure coverage and medical necessity requirements. Generic billing teams without NH specific knowledge leave revenue on the table.
Ophthalmology billing itself is complex. Ophthalmology practices perform high-volumes of diagnostic testing (OCT, visual fields, fundus photography), office procedures (intravitreal injections), and surgery (cataract, glaucoma, retinal). Cataract surgery billing includes the procedure, IOL implant, and post-operative visits within the global period. When you combine this coding complexity with New Hampshire's specific payer rules, authorization requirements, and 2 NH Medicaid managed care plans that each have their own billing rules, you need a team that understands both dimensions. Go Medical Billing provides that expertise at 2.49% of collections, serving ophthalmology practices from Manchester to Concord and across New Hampshire.
