We handle nephrology billing end to end — dialysis MCP billing, ESRD care, home dialysis, and inpatient nephrology. Because dialysis reimbursement uses age-based monthly capitation codes with visit requirements, a specialty-trained team is what prevents the denials and lost revenue unique to the field.

Nephrology billing we handle

The MCP visit rule. Monthly capitation dialysis codes depend on the patient's age and the number of face-to-face visits in the month. Bill the wrong tier for the visit count and the claim is denied or underpaid — a common nephrology error we prevent.

Why nephrology practices lose revenue

The usual losses: wrong MCP code for age/visit count, missed visits affecting the capitation tier, CKD clinic visits under-coded, and inpatient consults billed incorrectly. Nephrology-trained coders apply the dialysis rules correctly.

Nephrology billing FAQs

How is dialysis billed in nephrology?

Outpatient dialysis is billed with monthly capitation payment (MCP) codes (90957–90970) that vary by the patient's age and the number of face-to-face visits that month. Correct tier selection is essential to full, compliant payment.

Do you handle home dialysis and ESRD?

Yes — home and self-care dialysis billing and end-stage renal disease management, coded to the applicable visit and complexity requirements.

Can you bill inpatient nephrology consults?

Yes, with correct E/M leveling for hospital visits and consults alongside outpatient dialysis and CKD management.

How soon will results show?

Most nephrology practices see cleaner dialysis MCP claims and fewer tier-related denials within the first one to two billing cycles.
