Medical Billing Services in Utah
Built for SelectHealth & Utah Medicaid
Mediknocx helps independent practices and physician groups across Utah collect faster and more completely. SelectHealth, the insurance arm of Intermountain Health, is the state's dominant carrier with the broadest provider network, and Utah Medicaid delivers coverage through Accountable Care Organizations rather than the MCOs most states use. We bill both correctly, every time.

Professional Medical Billing Services in Utah: Built Around SelectHealth and ACOs
SelectHealth, owned by Intermountain Health, is Utah's dominant carrier with roughly 278,000 marketplace members and direct contracts across Intermountain's 33 hospitals and 400-plus clinics statewide. Regence BlueCross BlueShield of Utah is the primary PPO option with BlueCard national reciprocity. Most independent practices bill SelectHealth more than any other single payer, which makes its claim-format conventions the biggest lever on collections here.
Utah Medicaid runs through Accountable Care Organizations, its term for managed care, rather than the MCO structure used elsewhere. Four ACOs operate statewide: SelectHealth Community Care, Healthy U, Molina Healthcare, and HealthChoice Utah. Enrollment is mandatory in Salt Lake, Utah, Davis, Weber, and several other urban counties, voluntary in rural ones. Behavioral health is carved out to Prepaid Mental Health Plans except in five counties integrated since January 2020. Claims must reach the correct ACO within 365 days of service.

What Makes Our Utah
Medical Billing Services Different
Utah's billing environment looks different from most states, and our approach reflects that.
SelectHealth Coding Accuracy
We follow SelectHealth's specific prior authorization and claim-format conventions from the very first submission, reducing the back-and-forth that slows reimbursement for independent Utah practices and physician groups statewide.
Four-ACO Medicaid Routing
We track whether each Medicaid patient falls under SelectHealth Community Care, Healthy U, Molina, or HealthChoice Utah and route claims to the correct ACO, rather than treating Medicaid as one payer.
365-Day Filing Discipline
Utah Medicaid claims must reach the correct ACO within 365 days of the date of service. We track every claim against that window so a valid claim never gets denied purely on timing.
47-Specialty Coding Depth
From behavioral health to orthopedics, our coders know the CPT and ICD-10 patterns specific to each of the 75+ specialties Mediknocx serves, not a one-size-fits-all approach to Utah billing.
Monthly Transparency Reporting
You receive a monthly report covering collections, denial reasons, and A/R aging, giving your practice a clear, recurring view of billing performance without needing to chase down status updates.
Credentialing That Matches Your Payer Mix
We handle enrollment paperwork for SelectHealth and the specific Utah Medicaid ACOs your practice actually bills, rather than applying a generic credentialing checklist to a four-ACO market like this one.
Specialty Expertise That Works for You
Mediknocx supports medical billing for 75+ specialties, from primary care and cardiology to behavioral health and orthopedics. Each carries its own CPT and ICD-10 patterns, and our coders train on the denial reasons specific to each one. Whether your Utah practice bills SelectHealth, a Medicaid ACO, or both, coding matches the payer and specialty at once.
