// Medical coding services

Medical coding, checked on every claim before it goes.

Your billing, streamlined in our software. Keep managing it yourself, or have us take it over. Valian checks medical coding for practices: your doctor picks the codes from the visit, and every claim is checked against the payer’s rules and the ICD-10-CM code book before it goes, including diagnosis codes that can never be billed together, modifiers, Medicare’s chiropractic rules, required fields and the filing window. Then Valian reviews the claim before it is sent. Your team can work it in our software, or ours can take it over. Start with a free 15-minute billing review.

// Two ways to run it

Your billing, streamlined in our software.

Keep managing it yourself, or have us take it over.

Keep managing it yourself

Your team bills in Valian.

Checks, claims, EOBs and patient balances sit on one screen, so less of the day goes to portals and hold music. You keep the practice software you run today.

Have us take it over

Our team works your claims.

We send them, follow them up, post the payments and work the denials, all inside Valian. You see every claim and every dollar, every day, without asking.

// What we handle

Coding is one part of billing. Here are all eleven.

Many denials start with a detail on the claim, so the check comes before it goes.

Front office

E-check-in

Early access

Patients fill in their forms and add their insurance card before the visit, so the front desk starts the day with clean information.

E-verification

Live

Check a patient in one click: more than 1,100 payers answer in seconds with active or not, deductible, copay and coinsurance, saved on the patient with the date.

Prior authorization

Run by our team

When a payer wants a prior authorization, our team files it, tracks it and follows up until there is an answer. You see where each one stands.

E-payments

Early access

Know what each patient owes from that day’s check, record what they pay at the desk, and keep every open balance in one list. Card payments are being set up with our first offices.

Patient financing

Early access

A way for patients to spread a larger balance over time, offered from the same screen. We are adding financing partners now.

Back office

Coding checks

Live

Your doctor picks the codes. Valian checks every claim against the payer’s rules before it goes: diagnosis and procedure pairs, modifiers, required fields and the filing window.

Claims and billing

Live

Build the claim from the visit and send it electronically. Valian reviews every claim before it goes, so a missing detail is fixed before the payer sees it.

Payment posting

Live

When the carrier pays, Valian posts the EOB to the claim, shows what the plan paid and what the patient owes, and follows the payment to your bank.

Collections follow-up

Live

Valian asks the carrier where every open claim stands, on its own, so nothing sits unpaid because nobody called. Patient balances wait in one list until they are paid.

Appeals and denials

Live

A denial shows the carrier’s reason in plain words and the fix. Correct it and send it again from the same page; a corrected claim goes as a correction, never a duplicate.

E-reporting

Live

Billed, with the carrier, paid, denied: every claim and every dollar on one screen, each with its whole history from the visit to the deposit.

Live = running for offices today. Run by our team = our people do it for you. Early access = being set up with our first offices.

// What gets checked

What Valian checks on every claim.

Your doctor’s codes stay your doctor’s. These are the checks they go through before the payer sees them.

Diagnosis codes that never go together

The ICD-10-CM code book lists diagnosis pairs that can never be billed on the same claim. A claim carrying one is flagged before it goes, with both codes named, so your doctor picks the right one from the note.

Modifiers, line by line

Each line is checked for the modifier the payer needs, and your service list keeps each service’s usual modifiers, so a line starts out right.

Medicare’s chiropractic rules

On a Medicare chiropractic claim, the first diagnosis must be the subluxation with its level, and each spinal adjustment needs the active-care or maintenance modifier. A claim missing either is stopped before it goes.

Required fields and the filing window

The claim is checked for what the payer cannot process without, and for the payer’s filing window, before it is sent. Then Valian reviews it.

// Getting started

How starting works.

Six steps, from a 15-minute review to your first claims.

  1. 1

    A free 15-minute review

    By video, or at your office in New Jersey. We look at how billing runs today and show you the screen your claims would live on.

  2. 2

    Sign the agreements

    The Business Associate Agreement and the billing agreement are signed in the dashboard, before any patient data moves.

  3. 3

    Connect what you run today

    We will connect Valian to the system you run today, so your patients and visits come across. Nobody switches practice software.

  4. 4

    Add your fees and codes

    Take a picture of your fee list. Valian reads it twice and keeps only the codes both reads agree on.

  5. 5

    Carrier sign-ups

    Some carriers want a sign-up before claims and EOBs come through Valian. We file them, and any step that needs your office shows up in the dashboard.

  6. 6

    Your first claims

    New visits go through Valian from the day you start. Claims your current biller already sent can finish where they are, so nothing goes out twice.

// What if

What practices ask about medical coding.

Do you code our charts for us?

No. Your doctor saw the patient, so your doctor picks the codes from the visit note. Valian checks every code on every claim before it goes, names anything that does not fit, and never changes a code to get a claim paid.

Is this outsourced medical coding?

Not in the usual sense: nobody outside your office assigns your codes. What you get is every claim checked against the payer’s rules and the code book, then reviewed by Valian before it goes. If you want, our team takes over the rest of billing too: sending claims, following them up, posting payments and working denials.

What do you check on chiropractic claims?

The diagnosis pairs the code book never allows together, and the modifiers on each line: an exam or 97140 on the same day as an adjustment needs its modifier (25 or 59), or the payer bundles it. On Medicare claims, also the initial treatment date, the subluxation diagnosis first and the active-care or maintenance modifier on each adjustment.

What happens when a code is the reason for a denial?

The claim shows the carrier’s reason in plain words and where to fix it. Your doctor picks the right code from the note, and the claim goes again as a correction, never a duplicate.

Do we have to replace our billing team?

No. Keep managing billing yourself and your team gets one screen for every check, claim, EOB and patient balance. Or have our team take it over. You can start one way and change later.

What does it cost?

We set your price with you after the review, based on how many claims you send. Nothing is charged until you agree to it.

Is patient data handled the HIPAA way?

Yes. The Business Associate Agreement is signed before any patient data moves. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and access is logged.
