Questions about our articles
How to use the blog, how current it is and where to turn when you need help with a specific claim.
The articles are published by DrCareMSO LLC, a medical billing and healthcare management services company. They are written as general information for practice owners, administrators and billing staff. They are not legal, coding or compliance advice for a specific claim, patient or practice.
Every article shows the date it was published. Rules such as the ICD-10-CM and CPT code sets, Medicare telehealth policy and MIPS requirements change every year, so an older article may no longer match current rules. Check the date and confirm the details against the current official source.
Most are written for any practice, because denials, credentialing, compliance and collections affect every specialty. Coding and payer rules can differ a lot between specialties, so use our specialty pages to see how we approach billing for your type of practice.
Our About page explains who we are, how we work inside your EHR and how our fees are set up. The billing FAQ answers common questions about services, onboarding and revenue cycle basics.
Use them as a starting point, not a final source. Coding rules, Medicare policy and payer requirements change often and can differ by plan and by state. Before you act, check the current CPT and ICD-10-CM code books, official CMS and HHS guidance and your payers' own policies, or ask a qualified coder or adviser.
