Best SNF Billing Help for Chandler Facilities
Chandler sits in the heart of the East Valley, a fast-growing suburb where the skilled nursing landscape is shaped by regional for-profit operators running tight census targets and rapid admit-discharge cycles. What makes billing here genuinely different is the payer mix. Arizona carries some of the deepest Medicare Advantage penetration in the nation, so a large share of Chandler admissions arrive through a managed plan rather than traditional fee-for-service Medicare. That single fact reshapes the entire revenue cycle: an MA resident needs prior authorization before the first covered day, concurrent continued-stay review as the stay progresses, and a clean NOMNC when the plan ends the skilled benefit. On the long-stay side, custodial residents fall under ALTCS, the Arizona Long Term Care System, the state's distinctive managed long-term-care program run through AHCCCS contractors such as Mercy Care and Banner–University Family Care. Each contractor sets its own share-of-cost, level-of-care, and prior-authorization rules. A billing company that already speaks both the MA authorization grind and the ALTCS long-term-care workflow keeps that revenue from quietly leaking out of an East Valley building.

How a Skilled Nursing Claim Gets Paid in Chandler
Under the Patient-Driven Payment Model, Medicare Part A pays a daily rate assembled from five case-mix components, each captured on the MDS and carried onto the institutional claim. The table below walks a Chandler Part A stay from assessment to a paid claim.
| Payment stage | What drives the amount | Where it lands on the claim |
|---|---|---|
| Case-mix rate | PT, OT, SLP, Nursing, NTA set by the 5-day MDS | HIPPS code on revenue code 0022 |
| Part A per-diem | Variable per-diem tapers PT/OT after day 20; NTA front-loads | Bill type 21X on the UB-04/837I |
| Benefit period | Qualifying 3-day hospital stay; up to 100 covered days | Days 1-20 full, days 21-100 coinsurance |
| SNF Part B | Residents off Part A or with days exhausted | Bill type 22X, therapy modifiers GP/GO/GN |
| Consolidated billing | Bundled ancillaries vs separately billable services | Occurrence and value codes on the claim |
Where Chandler Nursing Homes Lose Revenue
Most SNF write-offs in the East Valley trace to a short list of preventable failures, and almost all of them start at the MDS or the managed-plan authorization desk. The table shows the leaks we see most in Chandler's chain-operated facilities and how our team stops each one before the claim ever drops.

SNF Billing Services in Chandler for Every Operator
We bill for the full range of skilled nursing operators in and around Chandler, from freestanding for-profit SNFs and multi-facility regional chains to short-stay rehab-to-home buildings that turn census quickly. Our clients include long-term custodial nursing homes carrying heavy ALTCS caseloads, higher-acuity subacute units managing complex NTA-driven residents, and hospital-adjacent skilled units tied to the larger East Valley health systems. We support facilities across the East Valley — Gilbert, Tempe, Mesa, and Queen Creek — with the same dedicated-team model, so a single building receives the same senior attention a large operator would buy across a portfolio. Whether you manage twenty skilled beds or two hundred across several locations, our skilled nursing facility billing services scale to your census, your payer mix, and your MDS schedule without forcing you to add headcount to the business office.
Why Chandler Facilities Outsource Skilled Nursing Billing to 247MBS
The decision to outsource skilled nursing billing usually comes down to one honest question: can your in-house office keep every Part A claim tied to a clean, timely MDS while also chasing MA authorizations and reconciling ALTCS share-of-cost? For most Chandler facilities the answer is no, and that gap is expensive. As a specialized medical billing services company, 247MBS runs the complete institutional revenue cycle — eligibility and benefit verification, MDS and PDPM billing support, denial management, credentialing, and A/R recovery — under one accountable team. Our numbers are the kind a facility can plan around: a 99% first-pass clean-claim rate, up to 40% fewer denials, 90% of worked denials recovered, and days in A/R held under 25. Clients stay with us, and our 98% retention rate reflects two decades of professional SNF work since 2005. As a billing services company built specifically for institutional long-term care, we are not a general billing company learning PDPM at your expense.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. With Arizona's MA penetration among the highest in the country, authorization is where most East Valley revenue is won or lost. We verify benefits at admission, track concurrent continued-stay reviews, flag NOMNC deadlines, and appeal downgrades and denials so the days you actually delivered convert into paid days instead of write-offs.
Absolutely. ALTCS covers most long-stay custodial care in Chandler through AHCCCS managed contractors, so we manage share-of-cost calculations, level-of-care documentation, prior authorizations, and dual-eligible coordination where Medicare stays skilled-primary and ALTCS covers coinsurance and room-and-board.
Before any Part A claim drops, we reconcile the MDS, therapy and nursing documentation, physician orders, and census and eligibility. This pre-bill triple-check catches HIPPS and consolidated-billing errors while they are still fixable, which is the single biggest safeguard against SNF denials in a chain environment.
From single freestanding SNFs to multi-facility chains, we scale the same dedicated-team model to your census. Small buildings get senior attention without hiring a full business office, and larger operators get consistent, professional processes across every location and payer.
