Medical Billing for Hospitals
Hospital revenue cycle is a different discipline from professional billing: UB-04 facility claims, revenue codes, DRG integrity, observation-versus-inpatient status, and discharged-not-final-billed (DNFB) backlogs that silently hold millions in unbilled care. We support facility billing operations alongside the professional side.
Facility (UB-04) and professional (CMS-1500) claim streams reconciled so both sides of every encounter are billed
DNFB reduction — clearing documentation and coding bottlenecks that keep discharged accounts from billing
Patient status integrity (observation vs inpatient, two-midnight rule) to prevent Medicare status denials
Hospitals Billing FAQs
Discharged-not-final-billed is care delivered but not yet billed, usually stuck on incomplete documentation or coding queries. Every DNFB day is an interest-free loan to payers. High-performing hospitals hold DNFB under five days of revenue; reducing it is the fastest cash acceleration available.
Medicare pays inpatient stays under DRGs only when the two-midnight expectation and medical necessity support inpatient status; otherwise care should be observation (outpatient). Status errors in either direction cost money — inpatient denials on one side, forgone DRG payment on the other. Utilization review integrated with billing prevents both.
Facility claims bill on UB-04 with revenue codes, DRGs or APCs, and institutional payer edits — a separate rulebook from professional CPT billing. Hospitals also run both streams simultaneously for employed physicians. We staff both skill sets so neither side's revenue waits on the other.
