Specialized Revenue Cycle Management in Maine
Mediknocx manages the full revenue cycle for Maine medical practices, from the first eligibility check through the final posted payment. Maine is one of the only states that still runs MaineCare mostly as fee-for-service rather than mandatory managed care, and Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Maine holds over half the state's commercial market. We track claims through both systems daily, so independent Maine practices get paid faster and chase fewer denials.

Specialized Revenue Cycle Management in Maine: Fee-for-Service Medicaid, Not Managed Care
Maine is one of only a handful of states that still runs most of MaineCare as fee-for-service instead of mandatory managed care. There's no MCO rulebook to track, but that also means the state's own fee schedule governs every claim directly. Effective January 1, 2026, MaineCare revised reimbursement for several service sections, including behavioral health, physical therapy, and physician services, to 72.4 percent of the Medicare rate, and raised the provider enrollment fee to $750. Claims run through the state's Health PAS Online Portal, itself mid-upgrade to a new MIHMS system through the rest of 2026.
On the commercial side, Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Maine holds over half the state's commercial market and the broadest provider network, spanning both MaineHealth, anchored by Maine Medical Center in Portland, and Northern Light Health. Maine's prompt-pay statute, 24-A MRS §2436, gives an insurer 30 calendar days after receiving everything it needs to pay or deny a claim; an undisputed claim not paid within that window is officially overdue and starts accruing interest. We track that clock on every claim we submit.

The Full Revenue Cycle We Manage in Maine
- Patient Access & Eligibility Verification: Confirm whether a patient is covered by MaineCare fee-for-service or by an Anthem commercial plan before the visit, since MaineCare has no MCO layer to check against.
- Charge Capture & Coding: Match CPT and ICD-10 codes to MaineCare's own section-specific fee schedule or Anthem's commercial requirements.
- Claims Submission: Submit electronically through MaineCare's Health PAS Online Portal or to Anthem, formatted to whichever system's rules apply.
- Payment Posting: Post payments and adjustments daily, so the AR report reflects reality.
- Denial Management & Appeals: Work denials within days, not months, and cite Maine's 30-day prompt-pay statute whenever a commercial payer stalls.
- AR Follow-Up: Track MaineCare's own rate updates, like January 2026's shift to 72.4 percent of Medicare for several sections, so charges reflect the current fee schedule, not last year's.
- Reporting: Deliver a monthly report on collections, denials, and days in A/R.

What Makes Our Maine
Revenue Cycle Management Different
MaineCare's fee-for-service structure and Anthem's dominant commercial position mean a generic billing approach leaves money on the table.
Full-Cycle Ownership
We own every stage, from eligibility verification through AR follow-up, instead of handing pieces off to different vendors. One team, one accountable contact, for every Maine claim.
Payer Specialization
Our billers work MaineCare's fee-for-service rules directly through the Health PAS portal and stay current on Anthem's commercial claims requirements separately, so nothing gets filed against the wrong rulebook.
Timely-Filing Tracking
We track Maine's 30-day prompt-pay deadline under 24-A MRS §2436 on every open commercial claim, so a slow-paying insurer, not your practice, is the one that starts owing interest.
Reporting Cadence
You get a monthly report on collections, denials, and days in A/R, written in plain language, not a real-time dashboard nobody has time to check between patients.
Compliance
Every claim follows the No Surprises Act and Maine's own balance billing law, in place since 2017, years before federal protections existed, so your practice stays covered on both fronts.
Specialty Depth
We bill for 47 medical specialties, so whichever ones make up your Maine practice, our coders already know the codes, modifiers, and payer quirks that come with that specialty.
Specialty Expertise Across Maine

How Does Mediknocx Ensure Compliance
With Maine Medical Billing Regulations?
No Surprises Act
We follow the federal No Surprises Act on every applicable claim, protecting patients from surprise balance bills for emergency and certain out-of-network services.
Maine's Prompt-Pay Law
24-A MRS §2436 requires an insurer to pay or deny a claim within 30 calendar days of receiving all needed information; an undisputed claim not paid by then is overdue and accrues interest. We track this deadline on every claim we submit.
Maine's Balance Billing Law
22 MRSA §1718-D has prohibited balance billing for surprise bills and out-of-network emergency services in Maine since 2017, years before the federal No Surprises Act existed. We bill in a way that keeps your practice inside both sets of rules.
Payer-Specific Guidelines
We follow MaineCare's fee-for-service billing rules through the Health PAS Online Portal, along with Anthem's separate commercial claims requirements, so each claim is formatted for the system it's actually going to.
