Medical Billing Services in Alabama

PRMS Billing Solutions provides end-to-end billing and revenue cycle management for Alabama providers, from Birmingham, Huntsville, and Montgomery to Mobile and rural counties. Alabama's payer market is unique in America: BCBS of Alabama holds a commercial share other Blues can only imagine, and Medicaid remains largely fee-for-service organized around primary-care networks. We handle eligibility, coding, claims, denials, AR, and credentialing end to end.

Medicare billing in Alabama

Alabama Part B claims are processed by Palmetto GBA, the Medicare Administrative Contractor for Jurisdiction J. We file to Palmetto daily and screen claims against its local coverage determinations. Medicare Advantage is growing in Alabama, led by Humana, UnitedHealthcare, Viva Health (UAB's plan), and Aetna, so MA enrollment is verified at eligibility before any Medicare claim goes out.

Alabama Medicaid (ACHN) billing

Alabama Medicaid did not adopt full managed care: most services still pay fee-for-service, with primary care organized through the Alabama Coordinated Health Network (ACHN) program. That means claims go to the state's fiscal agent under Medicaid's own edits and screening rules, and PCP attribution matters for referral-linked services. Filing deadlines are strict (generally one year, but with tight resubmission rules), and we keep every Medicaid claim inside its window with clean first-pass edits.

Commercial payers we bill in Alabama

Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Alabama covers the overwhelming majority of commercially insured Alabamians, so its preferred-provider contracts, edits, and appeal tracks effectively define commercial billing here. Alongside it we bill UnitedHealthcare, Viva Health (strong in Birmingham through UAB), Aetna, Cigna, and Humana. When one payer holds this much of your book, working its rules perfectly is not optional, and that is exactly what our Alabama team does.

Specialties we serve across Alabama

We bill 25+ specialties across Alabama, including its core fields: family medicine, internal medicine, cardiology, orthopedics, pain management, behavioral health, and urgent care.

Why Alabama practices choose PRMS

Alabama's recurring leaks: BCBS-AL denials that never get appealed (because "that's just Blue Cross"), Medicaid claims that fail state edits and sit unworked, and ACHN attribution issues that block referral-linked payment. We appeal what is wrongly denied, even with the dominant payer, and keep Medicaid claims clean on first pass. Credentialing with Alabama Medicaid and BCBS of Alabama is free for billing clients.
