Allergy and Immunology Billing Services in Utah

Utah delivers Medicaid through fee-for-service plus a set of accountable care organizations, and for an allergy practice each of those paths handles the specialty's two big-ticket lines differently. Roughly 326,000 residents are enrolled through Utah DHHS, with managed care running through SelectHealth Community Care, Molina, Healthy U, and Health Choice Utah. An allergist in Salt Lake City can bill all four ACOs plus Utah Medicaid fee-for-service and the commercial book in the same week — each with its own drug prior-authorization portal, its own immunotherapy dose cap, and its own position on buy-and-bill versus white-bagging biologics.

Because the state pairs fee-for-service with ACO managed care, the same allergy claim can follow two very different rulebooks depending on the member's plan. Step therapy on the preferred drug list, the federal 95165 dose definition, and each ACO's biologic authorization sit on top of one another. We build the mixing-log dose count and each plan's drug rules into the front end of the revenue cycle, so claims leave the practice correct the first time.

The best allergy and immunology partner in Utah is the team that already knows the 95165 dose math and has worked the biologic step-therapy denial you are about to see across all four ACOs. Ours is built for exactly that: certified coders who split preparation from administration, bill skin testing per individual test inside each plan's cap, and validate biologic HCPCS units with JW/JZ wastage before administration.

Our compliant benchmarks hold up against ACO and fee-for-service pressure alike: a 99% clean-claim rate, roughly 99% net collection, accounts receivable held under 25 days, up to 90% recovery on aged and denied claims, and up to a 40% reduction in overall billing cost versus staffing in-house. Claims go out within 24 hours, client retention runs near 98%, and every workflow sits under HIPAA and SOC 2 Type II controls with HBMA-aligned processes. As a professional billing company built for this specialty, we treat every Utah antigen vial, testing unit, and prior authorization as recoverable until it is safely paid.

Utah allergy practices outsource billing because the specialty's margin hides inside rules a generalist almost never touches. The 95165 dose definition, the ten-doses-per-vial Medicare cap, the per-test skin count, the prep-versus-administration split, venom-by-venom coding, and JW/JZ wastage on high-dollar biologics do not carry over from an E/M-heavy book — and each ACO adds its own step therapy and drug authorization. When that knowledge lives on a single in-house desk, the highest-dollar claims stall the week that person is out.

Outsourcing to a specialist billing company turns that fixed overhead and single point of failure into a predictable, performance-tied cost with a full certified team behind your claims. When you outsource the revenue cycle to 247MBS, eligibility, antigen-dose counting, coding, biologic authorization, denial work, and A/R follow-up all run without gaps. For a solo allergist in Provo or a growing group in Ogden, professional outsourcing is often the difference between billing that merely drops claims and billing that defends the margin on every vial.

We bill for allergy and immunology practices statewide, from the Wasatch Front to the state's rural south:

Solo allergists, multi-provider immunology groups, immunotherapy and shot clinics, severe-asthma biologic programs, and food-allergy or oral-immunotherapy practices all run on the same disciplined process, tuned to their region's payer mix.
