Medical Billing Services in Virginia
Virginia is two markets wearing one state line: CareFirst country in the DC suburbs and Anthem-Sentara country everywhere else. We bill both sides, plus Cardinal Care, without missing a deadline.

Virginia's payer geography splits sharply: NoVA runs on DC-market plans like CareFirst, while the rest of the state is anchored by Anthem and Sentara. Its Medicaid program consolidated everything under the Cardinal Care banner. We handle eligibility, coding, claims, denials, AR, and credentialing across the whole map.
Medicare billing in Virginia
Virginia Part B claims are processed by Palmetto GBA, the Medicare Administrative Contractor for Jurisdiction M. We file to Palmetto daily and apply its local coverage determinations in scrubbing. Medicare Advantage is growing fast in Virginia, led by Humana, UnitedHealthcare, Aetna, Anthem, and Sentara's own MA products, so MA status is confirmed at eligibility before any Medicare claim goes out.
Virginia Medicaid (Cardinal Care) billing
Virginia Medicaid, administered by DMAS, now operates as Cardinal Care, which unified the old Medallion and CCC Plus programs. Managed-care members sit with Sentara Community Plan (Optima), Anthem HealthKeepers Plus, Aetna Better Health of Virginia, Molina Complete Care, and UnitedHealthcare Community Plan. Each MCO keeps its own portal, prior-auth list, and filing window. We verify the member's plan before the visit and file to it directly, with the right authorization attached.
Commercial payers we bill in Virginia
Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield (HealthKeepers) anchors most of Virginia's commercial market, while CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield dominates the Northern Virginia/DC suburbs, two different Blues depending on where your patients work. Sentara Health Plans is the hometown force in Hampton Roads, joined statewide by UnitedHealthcare, Aetna, Cigna (strong in NoVA's federal-contractor workforce), and Kaiser Permanente's mid-Atlantic HMO. We route each claim to the right Blue and the right network without the cross-border confusion NoVA practices know too well.
Specialties we serve across Virginia
We bill 25+ specialties across Virginia, including its high-volume fields: family medicine, internal medicine, cardiology, behavioral health, orthopedics, physical therapy, and urgent care (dense across NoVA and Hampton Roads).
Why Virginia practices choose PRMS
Virginia's recurring leaks: NoVA claims filed to Anthem when the member is CareFirst (or the reverse), Cardinal Care claims routed to the wrong MCO after the program consolidation, and Sentara authorizations missed in Hampton Roads. Our eligibility-first workflow sorts the payer geography before the visit, and weekly reporting shows exactly where every dollar sits. Credentialing with DMAS/Cardinal Care MCOs, both Blues, and every major Virginia payer is free for billing clients.
