PRMS Billing Solutions runs complete revenue cycle management for New York providers, from NYC group practices and ambulatory centers to Long Island, Westchester, and upstate clinics. New York's payer market is unlike anywhere else: a huge managed-Medicaid population, strong regional plans like Healthfirst and MVP, and a commercial market anchored by Anthem. Our teams work this mix daily: eligibility, coding, submission, denials, AR, and credentialing, end to end.

Medicare billing in New York

New York Part B claims run through National Government Services (NGS), the Medicare Administrative Contractor for Jurisdiction K. We file to NGS electronically, apply its local coverage determinations in pre-submission scrubbing, and track the 12-month federal filing limit on every claim. New York also has one of the nation's largest Medicare Advantage populations, led by Healthfirst, UnitedHealthcare, Humana, and Anthem, and we confirm MA enrollment at eligibility so claims never bounce off original Medicare.

New York Medicaid (eMedNY) billing

New York Medicaid is administered through eMedNY, and its timely-filing rule is one of the tightest in the country: initial claims are generally due within 90 days of the date of service. Most members sit in managed-care plans, Fidelis Care, Healthfirst, MetroPlusHealth, UnitedHealthcare Community Plan, Anthem HealthPlus, Molina, each with its own portal and prior-auth rules. We verify plan enrollment before the visit and file inside the window, because a late eMedNY claim is usually gone for good.

Commercial payers we bill in New York

The commercial anchor is Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield (the former Empire plan) downstate and Excellus BCBS upstate. Around them sit EmblemHealth (GHI/HIP), UnitedHealthcare/Oxford, Aetna, Cigna, Healthfirst's commercial products, and MVP Health Care in the Capital Region and Hudson Valley. New York claims also mean workers' compensation and no-fault volume through the NY Workers' Compensation Board fee schedules, which we bill and follow up correctly.

Specialties we serve across New York

We bill 25+ specialties across New York, with deep benches in the ones that dominate the NY market: mental and behavioral health (a huge and heavily managed segment in NY), cardiology, gastroenterology, physical therapy, radiology, pain management, and urgent care.

Why New York practices choose PRMS

New York practices lose revenue in three predictable places: eMedNY's 90-day window closing on unfiled claims, managed-care plans denying for authorization that nobody obtained, and high-deductible commercial patients whose balances are never collected. We close all three gaps with front-end verification, plan-specific auth tracking, and disciplined AR follow-up, with weekly reporting so you always see where the money is. Credentialing with NY payers, including eMedNY enrollment, is free for billing clients.
