THE HARD PARTS

What makes internal medicine billing hard

Visits that cover five problems at once

A single follow-up can address diabetes, hypertension, kidney function and a new complaint. The note has to show the work for each, or the visit is billed below what was done.

Preventive and problem visits on the same day

An annual wellness visit and a sick visit on one date need clear separation in the note and on the claim, or one of them gets denied.

Care management time that never gets billed

Chronic and transitional care management are paid for documented time and contacts. Without a running log, the time is spent and the payment is lost.

WHERE THE WORK HAPPENS

How internal medicine care is delivered and billed

Most internal medicine is office-based and billed on the professional claim, with wellness visits, chronic-condition follow-ups and same-day sick visits sharing the schedule. Many internists also round on their patients in the hospital or see them in skilled nursing facilities, so the same provider produces claims with different places of service in a single week. Care management between visits, by phone and portal, is billed monthly for the time the care team spends.

What payers check on internal medicine claims

The office visit level is chosen by medical decision making or by total time on the date of the visit, and the note has to show which.
A Medicare annual wellness visit is not a physical exam; a problem addressed on the same day is billed separately only when it is significant and separately documented.
Chronic care management needs documented patient consent, two or more chronic conditions and at least 20 minutes of care team time in the calendar month.
Transitional care after a hospital stay needs contact with the patient within two business days of discharge and a face-to-face visit within 7 or 14 days.
Every diagnosis on the claim must be supported by the note, and each service line must point to the diagnoses that justify it.

Common internal medicine diagnoses ICD-10-CM

I10	Essential (primary) hypertension
E11.9	Type 2 diabetes mellitus without complications
E78.5	Hyperlipidemia, unspecified
N18.30	Chronic kidney disease, stage 3 unspecified
J44.9	Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, unspecified
Z00.00	General adult medical examination without abnormal findings

Examples only. The provider chooses the code that matches the documented diagnosis, and XEHR checks it against the note and the payer's rules before the claim goes out.

A VISIT ON XEHR

An internal medicine visit, start to payment

1
Before the visit

Coverage is checked when the appointment is booked and again the day before, so a lapsed plan or a new secondary is caught before the patient arrives.
2
In the room

The AI scribe drafts the note as the provider talks through each problem. Open problems, current medications and recent results sit beside the note.
3
Sign and code

The provider reviews and signs. Diagnoses come from the signed note, and the visit level is supported by the documented decision making or total time.
4
Claim and payment

The claim is checked for missing diagnoses and same-day conflicts before it is sent. Payments post from the remittance, and any denial lands in a worklist with the reason.

BUYER'S GUIDE

Questions to ask before you choose an internal medicine EHR

Ask every vendor, including us. The answers show whether a system was built for internal medicine work or only adapted to it.

Ask us on a demo

Can one note document five problems at once and still show the work for each when an auditor asks?
How does the system keep a wellness visit and a same-day problem visit apart on the claim?
Is chronic care management time logged as the care team works, or reconstructed at month end?
Can the same provider bill office, hospital and nursing facility visits from one record?
How quickly does a lapsed or changed insurance plan show up before the patient arrives?

QUESTIONS

Internal Medicine practices ask us

Does XEHR support annual wellness visits?

Yes. Wellness visits have their own templates, and a problem addressed on the same day is documented and billed separately.

Can XEHR track chronic care management time?

Yes. Care team time and contacts are recorded against the patient so the month can be billed when the requirements are met.

Can internists bill hospital rounds from XEHR?

Yes. Hospital and nursing facility visits are documented and billed with the correct place of service, from the same record as the office visits.

Does XEHR help with transitional care after discharge?

Yes. A discharge creates follow-up tasks for the two-business-day contact and the face-to-face visit, so the deadlines are visible to the care team.

Can XEHR show a patient’s problems and results across years?

Yes. Problems, medications, results and earlier notes stay in one longitudinal record, so each visit starts with the full picture.

Does XEHR help internists choose the visit level?

The note documents decision making and time; the provider selects the level and XEHR checks that the note supports it before the claim leaves.

How much does XEHR cost for an internal medicine practice?

Pricing is published: $189 per provider per month for the Clinical plan, $449 per provider per month for the Practice Suite with billing, or 2.5% of collections for RCM as a Service. Month-to-month, with a BAA on every plan. See pricing.

How long does it take an internal medicine practice to go live?

Small practices are usually live in 2 to 4 weeks, including setup, data migration and training. We agree the plan with you before you sign.
