Skilled Nursing Billing Services in Savannah, Georgia

Savannah anchors the Coastal Empire, and its skilled nursing census is shaped by an older, retiree-weighted population moving through Memorial Health and St. Joseph's/Candler into post-acute beds. Under the Patient-Driven Payment Model, every one of those Part A stays is priced by the five case-mix components recorded on the 5-day MDS, which means the accuracy and timing of that assessment is the single largest lever on Medicare revenue. Around it sits a growing Medicare Advantage book that admits residents only with prior authorization and holds continued-stay review over every additional day. Georgia funds its long-stay custodial population through fee-for-service Medicaid rather than a managed long-term-care program, so patient-liability is calculated the traditional way and Medicaid-pending admissions must be worked to determination in a non-expansion state. A Savannah building therefore runs three payer clocks at once — PDPM case-mix, MA authorization, and Medicaid liability — and a billing company has to keep all three synchronized to collect what the facility earns.

The decision to outsource skilled nursing billing usually comes down to whether an in-house office can keep every Part A claim tied to a clean, timely MDS while chasing Medicare Advantage authorizations and working Georgia Medicaid liability. For most Savannah operators the honest answer is no. As a specialized medical billing services company, 247MBS runs the entire institutional revenue cycle — eligibility 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. A 98% client retention rate reflects two decades of professional SNF work. As a billing services company built specifically for institutional long-term care, we are not a general billing company learning PDPM on your dime.

We bill for the full range of skilled nursing operators across the Coastal Empire, from freestanding for-profit SNFs and non-profit nursing homes to hospital-based skilled units attached to the area's larger systems. Our clients include short-stay rehab-to-home facilities cycling census against a retiree-heavy referral flow, long-term custodial nursing homes carrying Georgia Medicaid liability, memory-care-focused buildings, and higher-acuity subacute units. We also support smaller SNFs in the surrounding coastal and Lowcountry-adjacent counties that cannot justify a full in-house business office. We cover facilities throughout Chatham County and the coastal footprint — Pooler, Richmond Hill, Rincon, and the Savannah islands — under the same dedicated-team model.
