Where Antioch Nursing Homes Lose Revenue First
In East Contra Costa the biggest revenue leak is not a single denial type — it is the coordination between Medicare and Medi-Cal on dual-eligible residents, who make up a large slice of the Antioch long-stay population. When a skilled stay ends and the resident drops to custodial Medi-Cal, a missed handoff strands both the Medicare coinsurance and the room-and-board balance. The table below shows the leaks we see most in working-class East Bay facilities and how we stop them.

How a Skilled Nursing Claim Gets Paid in Antioch
Medicare Part A pays a per-diem set by the Patient-Driven Payment Model, with five case-mix components captured on the MDS and carried onto the institutional claim. Here is how an Antioch Part A stay becomes a paid claim.
| Step | What sets the payment | Where it lands on the claim |
|---|---|---|
| MDS assessment | 5-day PPS assessment fixes PT, OT, SLP, Nursing, NTA | HIPPS code on revenue code 0022 |
| Per-diem | Variable adjustment tapers PT/OT after day 20 | Bill type 21X, 837I institutional |
| Coverage window | Qualifying 3-day stay; up to 100 benefit days | Days 21-100 carry daily coinsurance |
| Part B fallback | Off Part A or days exhausted | Bill type 22X with therapy modifiers |
| Consolidated billing | Bundled ancillaries vs excluded services | Value and occurrence codes applied |
Why Antioch Long-Term Care Billing Is Different
Antioch is an East Bay working-class city, and its skilled nursing economics reflect that. Contra Costa Health and the Partnership HealthPlan structure shape how Medi-Cal long-term care is authorized and paid, and the county's dual-eligible density means most buildings live and die on clean crossover billing rather than on short-stay Medicare rehab alone. Long-term care billing here rewards facilities that treat the MDS not as a compliance chore but as the document that sets every dollar of the per-diem. A nursing home billing services partner that understands Partnership's patient-liability rules, the pace of Medi-Cal-pending approvals, and the coinsurance mechanics of dual-eligibles will collect far more of what an Antioch facility earns than a generalist billing company ever could. That local fluency is the whole point of hiring specialists.

Why Antioch Facilities Outsource SNF Billing to 247MBS
Facilities choose to outsource skilled nursing billing when the business office can no longer keep the MDS, the Medi-Cal pending queue, and the dual-eligible crossovers all moving at once. As a specialized medical billing services company, 247MBS runs the complete institutional revenue cycle — eligibility verification, MDS and PDPM billing support, denial management, credentialing, and A/R recovery — with one accountable team behind it. Our performance is built to be planned around: a 99% first-pass clean-claim rate, up to 40% fewer denials, 90% of worked denials recovered, and days in A/R under 25. A 98% client retention rate reflects the professional, consistent work we have delivered since 2005. As a billing services company focused on institutional long-term care, we bring the workflows an East Bay nursing home actually needs. You can review our reach on the California billing overview, and lean on the national SNF billing hub for the full model. We are the billing company that already speaks Medi-Cal.
Who We Serve in Antioch
Our Antioch clients span the East Bay's full skilled nursing mix: long-term custodial nursing homes carrying heavy dual-eligible caseloads, freestanding SNFs balancing short-stay rehab against long-stay Medi-Cal, and hospital-adjacent skilled units managing higher-acuity residents. We also serve small and mid-size operators who cannot justify a large in-house billing department but still need senior-level MDS and payer expertise. We support facilities throughout eastern Contra Costa County — Pittsburg, Brentwood, Oakley, and Bay Point — with the same dedicated model, so a working-class facility gets the same rigor a large chain would buy. Long-term care billing services in Antioch, delivered by a team that already knows Partnership HealthPlan, keep more of your earned revenue in the building.
Medical Billing for Skilled Nursing in Antioch
247MBS keeps Antioch skilled nursing facilities collecting on a census built around dual-eligible, working-class residents. Our medical billing for skilled nursing runs the whole East Bay revenue cycle — Medicare Part A per-diem tied to an accurate MDS, consolidated billing, and the Medi-Cal long-term-care work that decides whether a Contra Costa building keeps its margin. We coordinate the crossover when a skilled stay drops to custodial coverage under Partnership HealthPlan, track every Medi-Cal-pending admission to resolution, and reconcile share-of-cost each month so coinsurance and room-and-board never strand. The result is a 99% first-pass clean-claim rate and days in A/R under 25, even with long Medi-Cal timelines. Request a revenue review and see what your building is writing off.

Frequently Asked Questions
Dual-eligibles are the heart of the East Bay long-stay population, so we manage them deliberately: Medicare pays as skilled-primary, and we coordinate the crossover so Medi-Cal picks up coinsurance and room-and-board. Clean coordination here is where Antioch facilities recover the balances generalists routinely miss.
Pending approvals can stretch for weeks, so we track every pending resident from admission through eligibility determination, hold and release claims correctly, and follow up on retroactive coverage. That discipline turns long-approval-timeline admissions into collected revenue instead of aged write-offs.
Yes. Many Antioch buildings run both, so we handle Part A PDPM short stays, SNF Part B when Part A exhausts, and Medi-Cal custodial long-term care in the same facility. One team keeps every payer track reconciled against the census each month.
We submit within 24 hours of a clean, triple-checked claim. Faster submission on accurate claims shortens the A/R cycle, which matters most for facilities carrying thin margins and long Medi-Cal timelines in a working-class market like Antioch.
