Expert Revenue Cycle Management in Maryland: Two Filing Clocks and an MCO-First Medicaid Program
Maryland's prompt pay law, Insurance Article § 15-1005, requires state-regulated carriers to give providers at least 180 days from the date of service to submit a claim and to pay clean claims within 30 days, with interest owed on late payments. It does not cover Medicare Advantage, FEHB plans, or self-funded employer plans, so a CareFirst card at check-in doesn't tell you which rules apply.
Maryland Medicaid allows 12 months to file a clean fee-for-service claim under COMAR 10.09.36.06. But HealthChoice MCOs cover about 86% of Maryland Medical Assistance participants, and each MCO sets its own deadlines by contract. A practice billing three MCOs and CareFirst runs four clocks at once, so we build filing calendars per payer.

What Makes Our Maryland
Revenue Cycle Management Different
Six things set our Maryland RCM work apart.
Full-Cycle Ownership
One team owns your revenue cycle from eligibility checks through final payment. Nothing gets lost between a front-desk vendor, a coder, and a collections service, because every handoff happens inside the same workflow.
CareFirst Plan-Type Checks
CareFirst claims can fall under state-regulated plans, FEHB coverage, or self-funded employer plans. We identify the plan type at intake so appeals, interest claims, and deadlines follow the rules that actually apply.
Timely-Filing Tracking
We log each payer's filing limit, from the 180-day commercial floor to Maryland Medicaid's 12-month window and individual MCO contract terms, then flag every claim approaching its deadline before it expires.
Monthly Reporting
Every month you receive a report covering collections, days in A/R, denial rates by payer, and aging buckets. You see which Maryland payers slow your cash and what we are doing about each one.
Balance Billing Compliance
Patient statements follow Maryland's balance billing rules for HMO members and assignment of benefits cases, so your practice never sends patients bills for amounts that state law says they do not owe.
Specialty Depth
Our coders and billers work across 47 medical specialties, so a Maryland cardiology group and a Maryland pediatric practice each get staff who know the codes, modifiers, and payer edits their claims face.
Specialty Expertise That Works for You
Mediknocx supports all 47 specialties we serve, from internal medicine to cardiology, orthopedics, and radiology, with teams assigned by specialty.
How Does Mediknocx Ensure Compliance
With Maryland Medical Billing Regulations?
No Surprises Act and Maryland balance billing law
We apply the federal law alongside Maryland's rules: no balance billing HMO members beyond cost sharing, and on-call or hospital-based physicians accepting assignment of benefits take the carrier's allowed amount.
Maryland timely filing law
Commercial claims go out well inside the 180-day minimum. Medicaid fee-for-service claims follow the 12-month limit, plus 120 days from a Medicare EOB for crossovers.
Maryland billing transparency
Out-of-network office physicians accepting assignment of benefits must give patients a written cost-estimate disclosure. We confirm it's on file.
Payer-specific guidelines
We follow CareFirst's BlueChoice HMO and BluePreferred PPO rules, Maryland Medicaid's CMS-1500 instructions, and each HealthChoice MCO's contract deadlines.
