North Carolina's billing landscape changed fundamentally when NC Medicaid Managed Care launched, splitting members across Standard Plans, and the state's growth keeps adding practices, patients, and payer complexity. We run eligibility, coding, claims, denials, AR, and credentialing end to end.
Medicare billing in North Carolina
North Carolina Part B claims are processed by Palmetto GBA, the Medicare Administrative Contractor for Jurisdiction M. We file to Palmetto daily and screen against its local coverage determinations. Medicare Advantage enrollment is strong across NC, led by Humana, UnitedHealthcare, Aetna, and Blue Cross NC's own MA products, so we confirm MA status at eligibility on every senior visit.
NC Medicaid (NCTracks) billing
NC Medicaid runs provider enrollment and fee-for-service claims through NCTracks, while most members are enrolled in Managed Care Standard Plans: WellCare, UnitedHealthcare Community Plan, AmeriHealth Caritas NC, Healthy Blue (Blue Cross NC), and Carolina Complete Health (Centene, in partnership with the NC Medical Society). Tailored Plans serve behavioral-health populations. Each plan keeps its own portal, auth list, and filing window. We verify the member's plan before the visit and file accordingly.
Commercial payers we bill in North Carolina
Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina is the state's dominant commercial payer by a wide margin, and knowing its Blue Value/Blue Advantage networks, edits, and appeal process is foundational for NC billing. Alongside it we bill UnitedHealthcare, Aetna, Cigna (with its large Charlotte-area book), Humana, and MedCost, the NC-based TPA network many self-funded employers use. Duke, Atrium, and UNC system relationships shape referrals and auth patterns, and we bill around them cleanly.
Specialties we serve across North Carolina
We bill 25+ specialties across North Carolina, including the fields driving NC's growth markets: family medicine, internal medicine, orthopedics, cardiology, behavioral health (with NC's Tailored Plan structure), physical therapy, and urgent care.
Why North Carolina practices choose PRMS
Since managed care launched, the NC leaks are predictable: claims sent to NCTracks that belong to a Standard Plan (or the reverse), Healthy Blue and WellCare authorizations nobody obtained, and NCTracks revalidations that lapse and freeze payment. We close these with plan verification before every visit and enrollment upkeep behind the scenes. Credentialing with NCTracks, all Standard Plans, and Blue Cross NC is free for billing clients.
North Carolina medical billing FAQs
Do you bill NC Medicaid Standard Plans?
Yes, all of them: WellCare, UnitedHealthcare Community Plan, AmeriHealth Caritas NC, Healthy Blue, and Carolina Complete Health, plus NCTracks fee-for-service and Tailored Plans for behavioral health. We verify each member's plan before the claim is filed.
Which Medicare contractor covers North Carolina?
Palmetto GBA (Jurisdiction M) processes NC Part B claims. Its local coverage determinations are part of our standard pre-submission scrubbing.
Do you handle NCTracks enrollment?
Yes. NCTracks enrollment, Standard Plan credentialing, and revalidation tracking are included free for billing clients, because a lapsed NCTracks record is one of the most common silent payment stoppers in NC.
Do you work with practices across the state?
Yes. Charlotte, the Triangle, the Triad, Asheville, Wilmington, and rural NC, our service is fully remote and runs in your existing EHR or PM system.
