The Internal Medicine Billing Challenge

Every specialty has coding landmines. Here are the ones costing internal medicine practices the most.

E&M Coding Precision

$30-70K/yr

99213 / 99214 / 99215

Under the 2021 MDM-based guidelines, E&M level selection depends on problem complexity, data reviewed, and risk — not just time or number of diagnoses. Many practices undercode OR overcode because the rules are nuanced. We audit against your documentation and help ensure each visit is coded accurately for what the note actually supports.

Chronic Care Management

$100-300K uncaptured

99490 / 99491 / 99487-99489

Most internal medicine practices have hundreds of patients who qualify for CCM but never enroll them. This is recurring monthly revenue that requires no additional face-to-face time — just proper enrollment and documentation workflows.

Remote Patient Monitoring

$60-180K uncaptured

99457 / 99458 / 99453-99454

RPM codes for blood pressure, glucose, and weight monitoring generate significant monthly revenue for qualifying patients. Most practices either do not offer RPM or fail to bill it correctly when they do.

Preventive vs Diagnostic Separation

$30-50K missed

99381-99397 / Modifier -25

When a preventive visit uncovers a new or existing problem requiring separate E&M work, both services are billable with modifier-25. Most practices bill only the preventive code, missing the additional E&M revenue.

Annual Wellness Visit

$25-60K/yr underbilled

G0438 / G0439

Medicare Annual Wellness Visits are distinct from preventive exams and have their own documentation requirements. Many practices either do not offer AWVs or fail to bill them at the correct level.

Transitional Care Management

Missed 80%+

99495 / 99496

Over 80% of eligible transitional care management services go unbilled. These high-value codes for post-discharge follow-up require specific timing and communication elements that most practices do not track.

I highly recommend Everest A/R Management to anyone looking for a Revenue Cycle Management solution. Their team was able to dive into the mess that a previous billing company had left us in and they methodically worked through the problems and even captured what we had considered to be lost revenue. They work tirelessly through denials and appeals to make sure that we get paid for the work we’ve done. Our A/R is now accurate, and our cash flow has improved significantly. We no longer stress about our billing, and we can trust them to the point where we can focus on improving other areas of the business. Their communication is excellent, and they’ve integrated so well with our team that it feels like they are a department within our organization. We couldn’t have done it without them. Thank you to everyone on the Everest team!

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you identify E&M undercoding in our practice?
We audit a sample of your recent claims against your documentation, comparing the coded level to what the medical decision-making guidelines support. We identify both undercoded and overcoded visits so you can capture accurate reimbursement while staying compliant.
Can you help us launch a CCM program?
Yes. We identify qualifying patients in your panel, manage enrollment and consent, track monthly time thresholds, and bill the appropriate CCM codes each month. Most practices see $100K or more in new annual revenue from CCM alone.
Do you handle Remote Patient Monitoring billing?
Yes. We manage RPM enrollment, device setup billing, monthly monitoring codes, and time-based add-on codes. Our proprietary tools track patient data transmission to ensure billing thresholds are met each month.
How do you separate preventive and diagnostic billing?
When a preventive visit identifies a problem requiring additional E&M work, we bill the preventive code plus a separate E&M code with modifier-25. We review documentation to ensure both services are supported before submission.
Do you integrate with our EHR?
We integrate with all major EHR and practice management systems, including Epic, athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, Greenway, and NextGen. Our team connects to your existing workflow without disruption.
How quickly can we get started?
Most internal medicine practices are fully onboarded within one to two weeks. We begin with a free billing analysis to identify your biggest revenue leaks, then our team connects and starts processing claims immediately.
