Geriatrics Medical Billing and Revenue Cycle Management
ClainetRCM delivers specialized billing, coding, credentialing, and RCM services built exclusively around the complexity of geriatric care practices, nursing facilities, and senior care programs across the United States.
How ClainetRCM Works Your Geriatrics Revenue Cycle
Specific, checkable commitments rather than averages you cannot audit. Every one of these is written into your service agreement.
Geriatrics billing is among the most complex and Medicare-intensive in US healthcare.
Geriatricians manage patients with multiple chronic conditions simultaneously, provide care across clinic, nursing facility, and hospital settings, and bill for a wide range of cognitive assessments, palliative care services, and care coordination codes. A single missed code or incorrect site-of-service modifier can cost your practice tens of thousands of dollars annually.
- Complex multi-chronic condition coding with high ICD-10 specificity
- Nursing facility care billing (CPT 99304-99318) across all levels
- Chronic Care Management (CCM) and Principal Care Management (PCM)
- Transitional Care Management (TCM) after hospital and SNF discharge
- Medicare Annual Wellness Visit (AWV) and preventive services billing
- Cognitive assessment and care planning (CPT 99483) billing
- Advance Care Planning (ACP) and palliative care consultation billing
Specialized Geriatrics Billing that Maximizes Every Dollar
Most geriatric practices are leaving significant revenue uncaptured every month. Chronic care management codes go unbilled, nursing facility visits are coded at the wrong level, cognitive assessment billing is skipped entirely, and transitional care management claims are never submitted on time. ClainetRCM's geriatrics billing specialists are trained to find and capture every one of these opportunities.
We serve solo geriatricians, multi-provider geriatric groups, hospital-employed physicians, nursing facility medical directors, and memory care program providers across every US state. Our team understands the nuances between nursing facility initial visits and subsequent visits, the documentation requirements for CCM and PCM, and the specific compliance demands of Medicare as the near-universal payer for geriatric practices.
- Dedicated geriatrics billing specialists on your account
- Deep Medicare Part B billing and MIPS/MACRA compliance expertise
- Nursing facility, SNF, and ALF billing optimization
- Real-time denial management and aggressive appeals process
- Transparent monthly reporting with geriatrics-specific KPIs
- Compatible with Epic, Athena, eClinicalWorks, Kareo, and all major EHRs

Why Geriatric Practices Lose Revenue and How ClainetRCM Fixes It
These are the most costly and most common billing problems affecting geriatric practices across the United States. ClainetRCM identifies and eliminates each one systematically.
Chronic Care Management Codes Never Billed
Chronic Care Management (CPT 99490, 99491) is one of the most under-billed code sets in geriatrics, because enrollment, consent, and the 20-minute time log all have to be documented before the claim goes out. Run the arithmetic on your own panel: CMS reimburses roughly $60 per patient per month for 99490. Every eligible Medicare patient with two or more chronic conditions you have not enrolled is a full year of that code you will never bill. We review your panel for CCM eligibility and build the consent and time-tracking workflow that makes the claim defensible.
Nursing Facility Visit Levels Incorrectly Coded
Nursing facility billing requires selecting the correct level of service (CPT 99304-99306 for initial visits, 99307-99310 for subsequent visits) based on documented medical decision-making complexity. Many geriatricians default to the lowest level, leaving $50 - $120 in unreimbursed revenue per visit. ClainetRCM's certified coders review every nursing facility note to ensure compliant, optimized level selection.
Cognitive Assessment Billing Completely Missed
CPT 99483, the Cognitive Impairment Assessment and Care Planning code, reimburses geriatricians $282 under Medicare for a comprehensive 60-minute cognitive evaluation. This code requires significant documentation but is almost universally missed by practices without a systematic billing workflow. ClainetRCM establishes that workflow and captures this revenue every time the service is provided.
Transitional Care Management Claims Left Unbilled
TCM codes (CPT 99495, 99496) reimburse geriatricians $175 to $238 per episode for managing patients within 30 days of hospital, SNF, or rehab discharge. These codes are critically underbilled in geriatrics because the 7-day contact requirement and 30-day claim window are difficult to track without a dedicated workflow. ClainetRCM manages this entirely so every eligible discharge generates a claim.
Annual Wellness Visit Billing Missed or Incorrectly Coded
Medicare Annual Wellness Visits (G0438, G0439) are a high-value, zero-copay preventive benefit that geriatric patients qualify for every year. Many practices fail to schedule them proactively or incorrectly bill them as standard office visits, triggering patient cost-sharing that discourages future visits and simultaneously reduces practice revenue from the missed preventive billing.
Prior Authorization Bottlenecks for Home Health and DME
Geriatric patients frequently require home health services, durable medical equipment, and specialty referrals, all of which carry heavy prior authorization requirements. Without a dedicated authorization management team, these requests delay patient care and result in retroactive claim denials after services have already been rendered and cannot be recovered.
Advance Care Planning Billing Never Captured
Advance Care Planning codes (CPT 99497, 99498) reimburse geriatricians for documented ACP conversations about end-of-life preferences, goals of care, and advance directives. These conversations happen constantly in geriatric practice but are almost never billed because providers are unaware the service is separately reimbursable. ClainetRCM builds ACP billing into your standard workflow.
Medicare Compliance Gaps Creating Audit Risk
Geriatric practices that depend almost entirely on Medicare face unique compliance requirements around medical necessity documentation, specificity of dementia and frailty coding, and MIPS quality reporting. Non-compliant billing creates serious audit exposure, repayment demands, and civil monetary penalties. ClainetRCM builds compliance reviews into every billing workflow from day one.
Aging Accounts Receivable Draining Practice Cash Flow
Geriatric practices frequently carry large aging AR balances due to the complexity of Medicare billing, dual-eligible patient billing coordination, and lack of systematic follow-up. ClainetRCM assigns dedicated AR specialists to every account who pursue every outstanding claim with documented follow-up until it is adjudicated, appealed, or properly written off under contract.

Geriatrics CPT and ICD-10 Billing Codes We Master
Our AAPC-certified geriatrics coders are trained on every CPT, ICD-10-CM, and HCPCS code used in US geriatric billing including the most complex and frequently missed codes specific to elderly patient care.
Nursing Facility Care Visits
Accurate level selection for initial (99304-99306) and subsequent (99307-99310) nursing facility visits, plus annual assessments (99318) based on medical decision-making complexity documentation
Chronic Care Management (CCM)
Monthly CCM billing for Medicare geriatric patients with two or more chronic conditions. Pays $62 to $130 per patient per month and is the most consistently missed revenue source in geriatric practices nationwide
Cognitive Assessment and Care Planning
Comprehensive cognitive impairment assessment and care planning service paying approximately $282 under Medicare. Requires 60 minutes and structured documentation but generates significant revenue for geriatricians performing routine dementia evaluations
Transitional Care Management (TCM)
Post-discharge care management billing for patients within 30 days of hospital, SNF, or rehab discharge. Pays $175 to $238 per episode under Medicare and is critically underbilled in virtually every geriatric practice in the country
Medicare Annual Wellness Visits
Initial (G0438) and subsequent (G0439) Annual Wellness Visits for Medicare patients. Zero patient cost-share, high reimbursement, and every elderly Medicare patient qualifies annually, making this a critical billing opportunity in every geriatric practice
Advance Care Planning (ACP)
Billing for advance care planning discussions covering advance directives, goals of care, and end-of-life preferences. Can be billed standalone or added to an E/M visit. Uniquely relevant to geriatrics, yet almost universally unbilled without a dedicated workflow
