Skilled Nursing Billing Services in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Philadelphia's skilled nursing sector is as varied as the city itself, and we bill across the whole range. Our Philadelphia clients include freestanding for-profit SNFs and short-stay rehab-to-home buildings turning census off Penn, Jefferson, and Temple discharges; hospital-based skilled units embedded in academic systems; and large long-term custodial nursing homes carrying heavy Community HealthChoices Medicaid and dual-eligible loads. We also support non-profit and faith-based homes anchored in the city's neighborhoods, continuing-care communities with SNF beds, high-acuity subacute and ventilator units managing the complex, NTA-driven residents an urban referral market produces, and small operators that carry a large chain's rule set without a large chain's office. We serve facilities across Philadelphia and the surrounding communities — Upper Darby, Cheltenham, and the near suburbs of Montgomery and Delaware counties — under one dedicated, professional model.

Philadelphia's defining trait is acuity. With Penn, Jefferson, and Temple discharging medically complex patients into the city's skilled beds, buildings here carry heavier NTA-driven residents, more ventilator and subacute cases, and more intricate MDS coding than a suburban market. That complexity is where the money is — and where it is lost if the assessment does not capture what the resident actually needs.

The city's Medicaid picture is equally distinct. Pennsylvania administers nursing-facility long-term care through Community HealthChoices, and in the southeast region Keystone First Community HealthChoices carries a large share of the dual-eligible long-stay population, alongside PA Health & Wellness and UPMC Community HealthChoices. For an urban Philadelphia home with a big custodial census, that means constant level-of-care and patient-liability work with managed plans rather than a single fee-for-service payer. Add strong Medicare Advantage penetration and the eligibility churn of a large urban dual-eligible population, and a facility is running traditional Medicare, CHC long-term care, and managed Medicare in one building. Precision on which payer owns each resident is what keeps a Philadelphia facility paid.

Facilities here choose to outsource skilled nursing billing when the MDS schedule on a high-acuity census, the CHC patient-liability work, the Medicare Advantage authorization queue, and the dual-eligible crossover load can no longer all stay current in-house. As a specialized medical billing services company built for institutional long-term care, 247MBS runs the complete revenue cycle — eligibility verification, MDS and PDPM billing support, denial management, credentialing, and A/R recovery — behind one accountable team. Our metrics are built to plan 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.
