Get a Free MD Revenue AnalysisPRMS Billing Solutions delivers complete billing and revenue cycle management for Maryland providers, from Baltimore and the DC suburbs to Frederick, Annapolis, and the Eastern Shore. Maryland's market runs through one dominant Blue (CareFirst), a busy HealthChoice Medicaid program, and a regulatory environment unlike any other state's. We handle eligibility, coding, claims, denials, AR, and credentialing end to end.
Medicare billing in Maryland
Maryland Part B claims are processed by Novitas Solutions, the Medicare Administrative Contractor for Jurisdiction L. We file to Novitas daily and scrub against its local coverage determinations. Maryland's Medicare Advantage market features UnitedHealthcare, Aetna, Humana, and Johns Hopkins-affiliated products, and because the DC metro mixes MD, DC, and VA plans constantly, we verify plan geography at eligibility on every visit.
Maryland Medicaid (HealthChoice) billing
Maryland Medicaid enrollment runs through ePREP, and most members sit in HealthChoice MCOs: Priority Partners (Johns Hopkins), Maryland Physicians Care, Wellpoint Maryland, CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield Community Health Plan, Aetna Better Health, and UnitedHealthcare Community Plan. Each MCO keeps its own portal and prior-auth list, and ePREP revalidations quietly stop payment when they lapse. We verify the member's MCO before every visit and keep ePREP current.
Commercial payers we bill in Maryland
CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield dominates Maryland commercial coverage across its PPO and BlueChoice HMO products, and its referral and auth rules decide how much of your book pays. Alongside CareFirst we bill UnitedHealthcare, Aetna, Cigna, Kaiser Permanente's mid-Atlantic HMO, and Johns Hopkins EHP for the university-system employer book. Maryland's all-payer hospital rate-setting (HSCRC) shapes facility economics; for professional claims it means payer rules stay king, and we work them daily.
Specialties we serve across Maryland
We bill 25+ specialties across Maryland, including its busiest fields: internal medicine, family medicine, behavioral health (with Maryland's carve-out structure), cardiology, orthopedics, physical therapy, and urgent care.
Why Maryland practices choose PRMS
Maryland's recurring leaks: CareFirst BlueChoice referrals nobody obtained, HealthChoice claims misrouted among six MCOs, ePREP revalidations that lapse, and DC-metro plan-geography mix-ups. We close them with eligibility-first verification and enrollment upkeep, then appeal wrongly denied claims and report weekly. Credentialing with ePREP, HealthChoice MCOs, and CareFirst is free for billing clients.
Maryland medical billing FAQs
Which HealthChoice MCOs do you bill?
Priority Partners, Maryland Physicians Care, Wellpoint, CareFirst Community Health Plan, Aetna Better Health, and UnitedHealthcare Community Plan, verified per member before every visit.
Do you handle CareFirst referrals and authorizations?
Yes. CareFirst's BlueChoice HMO products require referrals and plan-specific authorizations that its PPO products do not, and confusing the two is a top Maryland denial source. We check product type at eligibility.
Which Medicare contractor covers Maryland?
Novitas Solutions (Jurisdiction L) processes Maryland Part B claims, with its local coverage determinations in our standard scrubbing.
Do you serve both the Baltimore and DC metro areas?
Yes. Baltimore, Montgomery and Prince George's counties, Frederick, Annapolis, and the Eastern Shore, fully remote, inside your existing EHR, including practices whose patients mix MD, DC, and VA plans.
