Allergy & Immunology billing · Aurora, CO
Allergy and immunology billing services in Aurora decide whether a shot clinic on the Anschutz Medical Campus actually keeps the revenue it earns, or quietly loses it to under-counted skin tests and recouped antigen lines.
247 Medical Billing Services is a billing company built for allergists in Arapahoe County who are tired of watching clean visits turn into partial payments. We are a professional partner that knows the difference between an office visit and a mixing log, and we bill your practice like the specialty it is.
Allergists do not get paid on the office visit. They get paid on unit counting and on buy-and-bill, and both are easy to get wrong. Skin and intradermal testing is reported per individual test, with the number of units tied to the number of tests performed and kept inside each payer's annual cap and MUE limit. Report a 40-prick panel as a single unit and you have underpaid yourself by thousands over a year; report it above the Health First Colorado cap and you invite a takeback.
Antigen preparation is its own economy. The dose code is billed from the mixing log at one cc per dose, with ten billable doses per multidose vial for Medicare, and that single line is the most-audited service in the entire specialty. Venom immunotherapy is counted by the number of venoms, not by vial, which trips up practices that treat it like ordinary aeroallergen prep. Prep and administration are separate services, the injection-administration code is billed once for two or more injections and never multiplied, and the antigen line is billed only when your practice actually prepared the vial. Get any of those wrong and the money either never arrives or gets clawed back after the fact. Medical billing for allergy and immunology in Aurora is really the discipline of counting correctly, every single claim.
Modifier 25 is the other quiet revenue leak. It belongs only on a distinct, documented same-day evaluation and management service — never appended to a routine injection visit. Aurora practices that add it reflexively invite prepayment review; practices that omit it when a real separate E/M happened simply leave money on the table. The correct answer is documentation-driven, and it should be decided by someone who reads the note, not by a default in the practice-management system.
| Service | What actually drives payment | Aurora payer note |
|---|---|---|
| Skin/intradermal testing (per-test) | Units = number of tests, inside the annual cap/MUE | Health First Colorado and commercial caps differ; verify before high-count panels |
| Antigen preparation (95165 dose) | Billed from mixing log, 1 cc/dose, 10 doses/multidose vial (Medicare) | Novitas JH edits scrutinize per-dose units |
| Injection administration (95117) | Billed once for two-plus injections, never multiplied | Incident-to rules apply in shot clinics |
| Same-day E/M with modifier 25 | Distinct, documented E/M separate from the shot | Not on routine injection-only visits |
| Biologics (severe asthma/urticaria) | Exact HCPCS units, JW/JZ on single-dose vials, prior auth first | Medical vs pharmacy benefit routing verified in VOB |

Because a discarded-drug modifier or a missing prior authorization can decide whether a $30,000-a-year biologic pays at all, we confirm the medical-versus-pharmacy benefit, the prior auth, and the JW/JZ math before the drug is ever administered. That is where buy-and-bill practices in Aurora bleed the most, and where we protect you first.
Revenue review
A certified allergy billing specialist reviews your coding, unit counts, authorizations and aged A/R against the payers you actually bill in Aurora, CO — and puts a number on what your current process is leaving on the table.

We work with solo and group allergists across the Denver metro, pediatric allergy practices feeding off the Children's Hospital Colorado referral base, adult immunology clinics near Anschutz, and high-volume skin-testing and shot clinics that bill immunotherapy incident-to. We also support severe-asthma and biologic infusion programs and food-allergy and oral immunotherapy (OIT) programs whose non-covered testing has to be screened to ABN or patient-pay before it ever hits a claim. Whether you are a two-provider practice or a multi-site group, we scale the same disciplined process to your volume.
Each of these practice types fails in a different way when billing is generic. A pediatric shot clinic loses money on under-counted skin panels; a biologic infusion program loses far more on a single denied high-cost drug. An OIT practice bleeds on non-covered food testing billed to the wrong party, and an incident-to immunotherapy clinic risks its administration lines being multiplied. We tune the workflow to the failure mode that actually threatens your revenue, rather than running one template across every allergist in Arapahoe County.
When you outsource allergy and immunology billing in Aurora to a dedicated medical billing services company, you stop paying for staff turnover, coding gaps, and the slow drift of aging claims. Outsourcing allergy and immunology billing services means a team that already knows Novitas JH edits, Health First Colorado caps, and commercial biologic auth rules, so denials fall instead of piling up. As an allergy and immunology billing services provider in Aurora, we run a transparent, HIPAA-compliant, SOC 2 Type II process staffed by AAPC- and AHIMA-credentialed coders.
Our clients see a 99% first-pass clean-claim rate, roughly 99% net collection, days in A/R held under 25, up to 40% fewer denials, and up to 90% recovery on denied claims, with claims submitted within 24 hours. We have billed for specialty practices since 2005 — more than 20 years — hold a 98% client retention rate, are an HBMA member, and give every client a dedicated account manager plus a free 360° reporting dashboard. As an allergy and immunology billing company that also functions as your billing services company, we make the numbers visible so you never have to guess where your revenue sits.
The practical difference shows up in the first ninety days. We start with a full audit of your open A/R, your antigen dose billing, and your biologic authorization workflow, then rebuild the front-end checks that were letting claims through with the wrong units. Eligibility and benefit verification move upstream so a lapsed Health First Colorado enrollment or an unconfirmed commercial biologic benefit is caught before the service, not after the denial. Coding is handled by credentialed staff who reconcile every antigen line against the mixing log, and appeals are worked aggressively rather than written off. Outsourcing allergy and immunology billing services outsourcing to us is not about handing off paperwork — it is about installing the specialty-specific controls a general biller never builds.
You also stop absorbing the hidden cost of in-house billing: recruiting, training, PTO coverage, software seats, and the revenue that silently ages while a single employee juggles posting, follow-up, and the phones. As an allergy and immunology billing services provider in Aurora, we carry that load with redundancy built in, so your collections do not dip the week someone is out.
Your antigen lines and skin-test panels should pay in full the first time, and that is exactly what medical billing for allergy and immunology in Aurora delivers when 247MBS runs your revenue cycle. We reconcile every dose against the mixing log, count each test to the payer cap, and route biologics to the correct benefit before administration — so an Arapahoe County shot clinic stops leaking money to under-counted units and Novitas takebacks. We verify Health First Colorado eligibility through the right Regional Accountable Entity and confirm commercial benefits upfront, whether your patients come from the Anschutz referral base or from Southlands families. Practices that switch to us see cleaner claims and faster deposits within the first quarter. Request a revenue review and see the gap.

Yes. Large IgG food-sensitivity panels are screened to ABN or patient-pay upfront, so they never post as a surprise denial.
Most practices are live within a few weeks; we map your payer mix, testing volume, and biologic programs before the first claim goes out.
