Complete Neonatology Medical Billing & RCM
Our team can verify active insurance coverage, applicable benefits, payer information, and other insurance requirements relevant to claim submission and follow-up.
Track authorization requirements and help practices manage payer approvals before treatment when required.
Claims are reviewed for common billing errors and submitted through the appropriate clearinghouse or payer workflow.
ERA and EOB payments, contractual adjustments, and applicable patient responsibility are posted while unresolved balances are identified for additional review.
Our neonatology denial management process reviews payer responses, denial reasons, and claim history to determine whether correction, reconsideration, appeal, or additional payer follow-up is appropriate.
Our team follows unpaid, denied, underpaid, and aging neonatal claims through the applicable payer process.
Our neonatology credentialing services can include CAQH support, Medicare and Medicaid enrollment where applicable, commercial payer applications, recredentialing, group enrollment, and application follow-up.
Reporting provides visibility into insurance collections, outstanding A/R, denials, payer activity, and other revenue-cycle trends.
Support your practice with virtual assistance for scheduling, patient communication, insurance verification, authorizations, referrals, and other administrative tasks.
NICU Billing & Revenue Cycle Management
NICU billing can involve prolonged inpatient episodes, multiple providers, intensive or critical-care services, payer-specific requirements, and substantial documentation.
Our NICU billing services can support the revenue cycle from insurance verification through claim submission, payment posting, denial management, and A/R follow-up.
A coordinated NICU revenue cycle management workflow helps ensure unresolved claims receive an appropriate next action instead of remaining in accounts receivable.

These code families and their use in newborn, intensive, and critical care are discussed in established pediatric coding resources
CPT selection depends on the actual service performed, patient status, age/weight where applicable, documentation, provider involvement, payer policy, and current coding guidance. Practices should verify current CPT and payer requirements before billing.
Neonatal & NICU Billing Requires Specialized Knowledge
Neonatal billing can involve different coding pathways depending on the newborn’s clinical status, age, weight, intensity of services, and setting.
For example, coding resources distinguish normal newborn care from neonatal intensive and critical care. The American Academy of Pediatrics notes that neonatal intensive care and critical care are distinctly defined services.
That creates billing considerations involving:
Routine newborn hospital services have their own E/M coding structure.
Newborns requiring intensive observation and interventions may fall under neonatal intensive-care coding requirements.
Critically ill neonates have separate initial and subsequent critical-care coding pathways.
Certain subsequent intensive-care codes differentiate services based on the infant's present body weight.
Attendance at delivery and newborn resuscitation have separate coding considerations when applicable.
Billing can become more complex when multiple physicians or specialties participate in a newborn's care.
Neonatology Denial Management & A/R Follow-Up
Denied neonatal claims should have a defined next action.
Our neonatology denial management workflow reviews payer responses, claim history, ERA/EOB information, denial codes, and available billing information to identify why payment remains unresolved.
Depending on the issue, the next step may include claim correction, requested documentation, reconsideration, appeal, or additional payer follow-up.
Recurring denial patterns can also be reviewed to identify potential problems involving coding, documentation, eligibility, credentialing, payer edits, or claim submission.
Outsourced neonatology billing allows provider organizations to shift some or all revenue-cycle administrative functions to a dedicated billing team. The Ashez Group can support: Eligibility → Claim Review → Submission → Payment Posting → Denial Management → A/R Follow-Up → Reporting Organizations can outsource the complete billing workflow or select individual services based on existing internal resources.
