Medical Billing Services for New York Practices

New York is a heavily regulated billing environment, and that cuts both ways for a practice. There are more defined rules a payer can be held to than in most states, and correspondingly more procedural requirements a practice can fall foul of.

In short

Medical billing in New York is procedurally demanding. Statutory prompt-pay deadlines apply to insurers, while the state's no-fault auto scheme and workers' compensation system each run on their own forms, timeframes and documentation expectations.

The state's no-fault auto scheme and its workers' compensation system both operate with their own forms, timeframes and documentation expectations, which are unforgiving of late or incomplete submission. For practices with meaningful volume in either, those are not edge cases — they are a second and third billing operation.

Rev Cura supports New York practices remotely, working inside your systems, with follow-up built around the procedural detail these programs require.

NY specifics

What is different about billing in New York

Prompt-pay rules are enforceable, if you have the record

New York imposes statutory payment deadlines on insurers for clean claims. As always, the leverage comes from evidence: a documented submission and follow-up history turns a prompt-pay argument into something a payer has to answer.

No-fault auto billing is deadline-driven

The state's no-fault scheme operates on its own forms and its own submission timeframes, and late submission is a common and largely irrecoverable way to lose an otherwise valid claim. Practices with auto caseloads need this tracked separately from ordinary payer follow-up, not inside the same queue.

Workers' compensation has its own apparatus

New York workers' compensation billing runs on its own forms, its own fee schedule and its own authorization expectations. Treating it as ordinary commercial billing produces denials that are procedural rather than clinical.

Medicaid managed care and plan identification

Most New York Medicaid enrollment sits with managed care plans, so the responsible payer is the plan rather than the state program. Plan identification belongs at verification.

Surprise billing and dispute resolution

New York was early to independent dispute resolution for certain out-of-network situations, and there are defined routes for particular categories of claim. Knowing whether a claim qualifies for one of those routes changes what happens when a payer refuses it.

State insurance rules, Medicaid programs and no-fault schemes change. This page describes the considerations that come up in practice rather than quoting statutory deadlines or limits — we confirm the current position for your specific payers rather than relying on a page like this one.

Remote by design

How remote support works for a New York practice

We work inside your systems

Nothing moves to a platform of ours. We operate in your practice management system and your clearinghouse, under access your practice grants and can withdraw at any time.

A named team, in your time zone where it matters

Your account has a named lead and defined working hours that overlap your clinic day, so a question at 9am does not wait until tomorrow.

Onboarding is remote and structured

System access, payer enrollments and workflow handover follow a written plan with dates. No site visit is required, and nothing moves before you have approved the plan.

Reporting comes to you on a rhythm

An agreed pack on an agreed schedule, with commentary. Distance is only a problem when reporting is an afterthought.

Questions from New York practices

Do you handle New York no-fault claims?

No-fault billing runs on its own forms and submission timeframes, and missing them generally loses the claim outright. Whether it is in scope is agreed at the assessment, and if it is, it is tracked separately from standard payer AR.

Can you bill New York workers' compensation?

Workers' compensation here has its own forms, fee schedule and authorization expectations. As with no-fault, scope is agreed explicitly rather than assumed.

Do you have a New York office?

No. We support New York practices remotely, working inside your systems, with a named team whose hours overlap the Eastern clinic day.

Does the prompt-pay rule actually help us?

Only if you can evidence what you submitted and when, and what follow-up took place. That documented history is the difference between a position you can argue and a complaint you cannot substantiate.

Our upstate and downstate sites have different payer mixes. Is that a problem?

It is normal, and it is a reason to report on them separately. Averaging two different payer mixes into one set of numbers hides whatever is happening in each.
