PRMS Billing Solutions provides end-to-end billing and revenue cycle management for South Dakota providers, from Sioux Falls and Rapid City to Aberdeen, Watertown, and rural towns. South Dakota's market is defined by simplicity done exactly: fee-for-service Medicaid with no MCO layer, Wellmark anchoring commercial coverage, and the Avera-Sanford system duopoly shaping everything around it. We handle eligibility, coding, claims, denials, AR, and credentialing end to end.

## Medicare billing in South Dakota

South Dakota Part B claims are processed by **Noridian Healthcare Solutions**, the Medicare Administrative Contractor for Jurisdiction F. We file to Noridian daily and screen against its local coverage determinations. Original Medicare with supplements remains strong in SD, while MA plans (Sanford Health Plan, Avera, Humana, UnitedHealthcare) grow steadily, and we verify enrollment at eligibility on every senior visit.

## South Dakota Medicaid billing

**South Dakota Medicaid** pays **fee-for-service** directly through the state, no MCOs, and expansion (approved by voters in 2022) added a significant adult population to that single lane. Success is clean first-pass claims against the state's edits, current provider enrollment, and correct handling of SD's prior-auth list. Our team files SD Medicaid daily inside its windows with the discipline a single-lane program rewards.

## Commercial payers we bill in South Dakota

**Wellmark Blue Cross and Blue Shield** anchors South Dakota's commercial market, joined by **Sanford Health Plan** and **Avera Health Plans**, the two system-owned insurers whose networks mirror their delivery footprints, plus UnitedHealthcare and Aetna. Knowing which system's plan a member carries decides network status instantly, and we check it at eligibility on every commercial claim.
