How we close it
We verify Medicaid and RAE enrollment every visit
Medical Billing · Denver, CO
Medical billing services in Denver operate at the center of Colorado's most crowded payer market: a dense commercial book from the metro's employers, a strong Kaiser Permanente presence, Denver Health's safety-net Medicaid volume, and Health First Colorado's regional accountable-care rules all colliding on the same claims. 247MBS has billed practices through high-volume metro markets since 2005, and we bring that discipline to Denver with a dedicated account manager, a free 360° dashboard, HIPAA-compliant workflows, and SOC 2 Type II controls on every account.
In a metro this dense, leakage is rarely one big failure — it is a dozen small ones repeating across high claim volume. Lead your fix here.

A revenue review shows exactly which of these is draining your Denver remittances.
We run the complete revenue cycle with AAPC- and AHIMA-credentialed coders on HBMA-aligned processes, built for the claim volume a Denver practice generates.
| Revenue-cycle stage | What we handle for Denver practices | KPI it protects |
|---|---|---|
| Eligibility & benefit verification | Confirm Health First Colorado, Kaiser, Medicare, or commercial coverage before the visit | Front-end denial rate |
| Prior authorization | Secure auths across Medicaid RAEs and commercial plans | Auth-related denials |
| Charge capture & coding | CPT / ICD-10-CM / HCPCS coded to documentation | Net collection rate |
| Claim scrubbing & submission | Scrub and file the 837 through the clearinghouse | 99% first-pass clean-claim |
| Payment posting | Post 835 / ERA and reconcile to each plan's contract | Underpayment recovery |
| Denial management & appeals | Work every denial to root cause and appeal | Up to 40% fewer denials |
| A/R follow-up | Chase aged claims across every metro payer | Days in A/R under 25 |
| Patient billing | Clear statements and patient-responsibility follow-up | Collected balances |
Behind that table sit the numbers we hold ourselves to: a 99% first-pass clean-claim rate, up to 40% fewer denials, 90% of worked denials recovered, days in A/R under 25, and a net collection rate near 99%.
Colorado runs Medicaid as Health First Colorado, and Denver carries a large share of it. Instead of full-risk HMOs, the state organizes members into the Accountable Care Collaborative through seven Regional Accountable Entities (RAEs) coordinating physical and behavioral health by geography; Denver sits in the metro RAE region, so a Medicaid claim answers to that entity's care-coordination and behavioral-health carve-out alongside the state fee schedule. Medicare Part B for Colorado is administered by Novitas Solutions under Jurisdiction JH, whose edits and appeal windows differ from the contractors many relocating practices are used to.
Denver's difficulty is not exotic payers — it is scale and mix. A downtown or Cherry Creek practice can see Kaiser, Anthem, UnitedHealthcare, Cigna, Medicare, and Health First Colorado in a single morning, each with its own edits, networks, and timely-filing clock. Denver Health's role as the region's safety-net system also means many independent practices carry a heavier Medicaid and self-pay share than the metro average, which puts eligibility accuracy and patient-responsibility collection at the center of cash flow. A billing operation that treats every claim the same bleeds revenue in a market this varied; we build payer-specific edits so a Kaiser claim, a Medicaid RAE claim, and a Novitas Medicare claim each leave clean the first time.
Volume also changes what "good" looks like. At ten claims a day a slow biller costs a practice a few late payments; at the throughput a busy Denver group runs, the same slowness compounds into six figures of aged A/R and denials that quietly cross the timely-filing line before anyone works them. Metro practices also face a heavier prior-authorization load from Medicare Advantage penetration across the Front Range, and a self-pay tail that only disciplined statement cycles convert to cash. We size the follow-up team to the claim volume so nothing ages out, reconcile each remittance against the contracted rate to catch underpayments the front desk never sees, and keep behavioral-health work routed to the correct RAE entity rather than defaulting to the physical-health path.
Revenue review
A certified medical billing specialist reviews your coding, unit counts, authorizations and aged A/R against the payers you actually bill in Denver, CO — and puts a number on what your current process is leaving on the table.

Run the honest comparison. An in-house biller in Denver carries a salary plus roughly 25–30% in benefits and payroll burden, before software, clearinghouse fees, and turnover coverage — and Denver's labor market is one of the most competitive in the Mountain West, with hospital systems and large groups constantly recruiting. A single biller is a single point of failure: when they are out, no one verifies eligibility, works denials, or follows aged A/R. To outsource medical billing in Denver is to replace that fixed cost with a fee that moves with collections, backed by a team deep enough that no claim goes unworked. For most metro practices the outsourced number is lower and collected revenue is higher — the two effects that make outsourcing straightforward once the true in-house cost is on paper.
247MBS bills for the full spread of metro medicine. Across the UCHealth, HealthONE, and Denver Health footprints — and the practices packed into RiNo, Cherry Creek, the Central Business District, and the corridors reaching toward Lakewood and Aurora — sit the independent groups that define our book: solo physicians and single-specialty groups; multi-specialty groups across Denver, Lakewood, and Aurora; behavioral-health and substance-use practices inside the RAE carve-out; ambulatory and urgent-care clinics; surgical and procedural practices; therapy, rehab, imaging, DME, and lab providers; and hospital-affiliated clinics across the metro. We onboard new practices needing credentialing and enrollment, and we take over from groups leaving an in-house team or another billing company.
Each practice type bills to its own logic, and we keep each book on its own rules so coding for one service line never contaminates another. Denver medical billing services outsourcing is not only for large groups; the independent practice fighting a high-cost labor market and a complex payer mix often gains the most from handing the revenue cycle to a specialist billing company.
Trust in a saturated market is earned on payer fluency and reporting. Experience: we bill Health First Colorado through its metro RAE, Kaiser and the region's dominant commercial carriers, and Medicare under Novitas Jurisdiction JH, so we know how Denver payers actually adjudicate. Expertise: AAPC- and AHIMA-credentialed coders run HBMA-aligned processes across every specialty, backed by 20+ years of billing since 2005. Authoritativeness: we report against named KPIs — first-pass clean-claim, days in A/R, net collection rate, denial rate — live on your dashboard. Trust: HIPAA and SOC 2 Type II controls, compliant metrics only, a dedicated account manager, and 98% client retention. For a Denver owner, that combination is why we position ourselves as a full-service medical billing services company rather than a claims vendor, and why practices call us a professional partner instead of a vendor.

We reconcile every remittance to the contracted rate, appeal denials to root cause, and report first-pass clean-claim, days in A/R, and net collection live on your dashboard. Backed by HIPAA and SOC 2 Type II controls and 98% client retention since 2005, we run your revenue cycle like an extension of your Denver front office. Request a revenue review.
The medical billing company you hand your revenue cycle to should collect more than an in-house biller can while a competitive metro labor market drives staffing costs up. 247MBS gives Denver practices a team deep enough that no claim ages out — AAPC- and AHIMA-credentialed coders on HBMA-aligned processes working every Health First Colorado, Kaiser, and commercial claim to a 99% first-pass clean-claim standard and up to 40% fewer denials. From RiNo and Cherry Creek to Lakewood and Aurora, we serve solo physicians, multi-specialty groups, and behavioral-health practices inside the RAE carve-out, keeping each book on its own rules. The result is faster cash and days in A/R under 25, without the overhead of a single point of failure.
Start with a revenue review: we will review your Medicaid routing, your commercial contracts, your Medicare filings, and your aged A/R, then show you what professional medical billing recovers across the metro. The transition is clean, the reporting is transparent, and the goal is simple — first-pass payment on more of your claims.
Denver practices are billed out of the same Colorado desk. Statewide payer detail lives on the Colorado page.
Colorado Medical Billing Services — the payer programs, authorities and rules behind every Denver claim.
Medical Billing company — the codes, unit rules and denials nationally, without the local layer.
We apply payer-specific edits and route each claim by plan and network before submission, so a Kaiser claim, a Health First Colorado RAE claim, and a commercial claim each leave clean rather than bouncing on a routing error.
Novitas Solutions administers Medicare Part B for Colorado under Jurisdiction JH. We build Original Medicare claims to Novitas standards and separate Medicare Advantage claims so their prior-auth rules never get misapplied.
For most Denver practices, yes. Metro salaries, benefits, software, and turnover coverage are a heavy fixed cost, while our fee scales with collections — and there is no salary to carry when a biller leaves.
From solo practices to multi-provider groups, we bill Medical Billing for Denver practices with a dedicated account manager, certified coders and a live dashboard — so the units, authorizations and appeals that decide your month stop being the thing nobody has time for.
