Workers’ Compensation Billing
Protect your revenue and reduce claim delays with our specialized workers’ comp billing services.
At Med Karma, we know Workers’ Compensation (WC) billing is complex — it’s not just about patient care, but also managing strict rules, detailed documentation, and constant back-and-forth with insurers, employers, and legal teams. Whether you’re treating injured workers in urgent care, PT, or a specialty clinic, WC billing takes time and precision.
That’s why we offer a dedicated, automation-powered WC billing and Revenue Cycle Management service. Our trained specialists and smart tools handle the details, reduce admin stress, and help you get paid faster — all while keeping your practice compliant and financially secure.
Why Workers’ Compensation Billing Is So Challenging
Workers’ Compensation billing is unlike traditional medical billing. It involves state-specific regulations, mandated fee schedules, strict authorization processes, lien management, employer communications, and legal case reviews — all while delivering essential care to injured employees.
WC claims typically require:
- Pre-authorization for diagnostic tests, physical therapy, and procedures State-mandated forms and lien filings
- Coordination with adjusters, employers, and case managers
- Time-sensitive submission deadlines
- Special billing codes and fee schedule-based reimbursements
- Extended A/R cycles and litigation-related delays
With so much to manage, it’s easy for payments to slow down, denials to pile up, and revenue to slip through the cracks. That’s why our automation-backed systems and specialized WC billing expertise can make all the difference.
