PRMS Billing Solutions provides complete billing and revenue cycle management for Colorado providers, from Denver, Boulder, and Colorado Springs to Fort Collins, Pueblo, and mountain-town practices. Colorado's Medicaid program (Health First Colorado) runs on a RAE structure that shapes referrals and care coordination, while the commercial market mixes Anthem, UnitedHealthcare, and a strong Kaiser presence. We handle eligibility, coding, claims, denials, AR, and credentialing end to end.

Medicare billing in Colorado

Colorado Part B claims are processed by Novitas Solutions, the Medicare Administrative Contractor for Jurisdiction H. We file to Novitas daily and scrub against its local coverage determinations. Colorado's Medicare Advantage market features UnitedHealthcare, Humana, Kaiser Permanente Colorado, Anthem, and Devoted, and MA enrollment is verified at eligibility on every senior visit.

Health First Colorado billing

Health First Colorado pays most physical-health claims fee-for-service through its fiscal agent, but every member is attributed to a Regional Accountable Entity (RAE) that manages care coordination and, for behavioral health, holds the capitated benefit. That split matters: medical claims route to the state system while behavioral claims route to the member's RAE. We identify the member's RAE and route each claim to the right lane, which is exactly where general billers stumble in Colorado.

Commercial payers we bill in Colorado

Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield of Colorado anchors the commercial market, with UnitedHealthcare, Cigna, Aetna, and Kaiser Permanente Colorado (a major Denver-metro HMO with its own referral world) close behind. The mountain-resort economy adds seasonal, marketplace-heavy coverage (Anthem's mountain plans, Rocky Mountain Health Plans on the Western Slope), and we check network and plan geography at eligibility so resort-town claims do not misfire.

Specialties we serve across Colorado

We bill 25+ specialties across Colorado, including its most active fields: orthopedics (huge in Colorado's sports-medicine market), family medicine, behavioral health (RAE-routed), physical therapy, cardiology, dermatology, and urgent care.

Why Colorado practices choose PRMS

Colorado's classic leaks: behavioral claims sent to the state instead of the member's RAE, Kaiser referral rules applied to non-Kaiser members (and vice versa), and Western Slope plans treated like Front Range networks. We sort RAE, payer, and geography before the visit, then appeal what is wrongly denied and report weekly. Credentialing with Health First Colorado, RAEs, and every major CO payer is free for billing clients.

Colorado medical billing FAQs

What is a RAE and why does it matter for billing?

Health First Colorado assigns every member to a Regional Accountable Entity. Physical-health claims go to the state's fiscal agent, while behavioral-health claims are paid by the member's RAE. Routing a behavioral claim to the wrong lane is a guaranteed denial, so we identify the RAE at eligibility.

Which Medicare contractor covers Colorado?

Novitas Solutions (Jurisdiction H) processes Colorado Part B claims, with its local coverage determinations built into our scrubbing.

Do you bill Kaiser Permanente Colorado?

Yes. Kaiser's Denver-Boulder HMO runs its own referral and claims world, and for services it reimburses externally we bill it correctly alongside your other payers.

Do you serve mountain and Western Slope practices?

Yes. Denver metro, Colorado Springs, Fort Collins, Grand Junction, and resort towns, fully remote, inside your existing EHR, with plan-geography checks that prevent resort-area claim misfires.
