Medicare Revenue Optimization

You're Leaving $73K-$468K on the Table Every Year

Small primary care practices miss AWV, CCM, and TCM revenue because documentation is too burdensome without a billing optimization team. Capture revenue without the burden. Leave work on time while optimizing Medicare billing automatically.

Built for Small Independent Practices That Enterprise Solutions Overlook

Independent practices (2-20 providers) without revenue cycle management teams need automated Medicare billing capture. No billing optimization specialist required ($45K-$65K annually saved vs hiring).

$25K-$50K annually in uncaptured wellness visits

TCM Overlooked

Hospital discharges without transition billing, $8K-$20K lost

CCM Time Tracking

Chronic care management too burdensome, $30K-$60K lost

Screening Opportunities

Depression and SDOH not systematically captured, $5K-$15K lost

Industry Reality Check:

Most primary care practices capture only 15-25% of this revenue potential due to documentation burden and workflow complexity. The remainder is left on the table annually.

Why Medicare Revenue Gets Left on the Table

The barriers preventing revenue capture in primary care

Documentation Burden

The Problem:

AWV requires 10+ elements, TCM needs timestamped communications, CCM demands 20-minute monthly tracking. Without automation, providers skip these services.

Impact:

$25K-$148K in AWV revenue alone left uncaptured annually

Workflow Complexity

The Problem:

Identifying eligible patients, triggering workflows, tracking time across visits, and completing required forms is too complex for busy practices without billing teams.

Impact:

$48K-$120K in CCM revenue missed due to inability to track 20-minute monthly threshold

Lack of Revenue Intelligence

The Problem:

Small practices don't have billing optimization specialists to identify opportunities. They focus on E/M codes and miss value-based programs.

Impact:

$15K-$45K in TCM revenue overlooked after hospital discharges

Audit Fear

The Problem:

Providers worry incomplete documentation will trigger audits and refunds, so they avoid billing services they're actually providing.

Impact:

Practices leave $73K-$468K total opportunity on the table rather than risk audit exposure

Deep Dive: Medicare Billing Services Explained

Annual Wellness Visit (AWV)

G0438/G0439 | $174-$116 per visit
