Sacramento medical practices serve a payer mix the rest of California does not. State employees and retirees on CalPERS plans. Anthem Medi-Cal as the dominant Medi-Cal MCP across Sacramento County. Health Net for the second-largest Medi-Cal book. Western Health Advantage as the regional commercial play. Most billing companies do not adjust their work for Sacramento’s mix. That is why your AR sits.
Figures reflect 1st Medical Billing’s California book, trailing 12 months. Industry comparison: MGMA / HBMA published medians.
If a claim doesn’t get paid, we don’t get paid for it. No retainer, no per-claim fee, no monthly minimum. The math means we chase your denials like they’re our own.
We work Anthem Medi-Cal, Health Net, CalPERS, Blue Shield, UnitedHealthcare, Kaiser commercial, Western Health Advantage, and Medicare across Sacramento County, Yolo, Placer, El Dorado, and the Central Valley. CalPERS has its own provider network rules. Anthem Medi-Cal in Sacramento bounces specific claim types differently than Anthem Medi-Cal in LA. We know the difference.
Not a ticket queue. Not a chatbot. The owner is on the line, or one ring away. You’ll know your account manager by name within the first week.
Send us your last 90 days of remits and aging report. Within a week we’ll send back a written read on what’s leaking and how much we’d recover.
We confirm credentialing is current with every CA payer you bill. Anything missing, we re-credential. Clearinghouse handoff happens behind the scenes.
Charges from your EMR start flowing into our system. Aging AR is worked in parallel. We don’t write off old claims to “start fresh.”
A real meeting, not a PDF. Numbers, trends, denials worked, what’s blocked, what we’re recommending.
