Revenue Cycle Management in Vermont for Healthcare Providers
Mediknocx manages the full revenue cycle for Vermont practices, shaped around the two rules that move collections here most. BCBSVT covers roughly a third of Vermonters, and its claims now fall under Act 111's claims editing standards. Vermont Medicaid gives you 180 days to file. We handle every step from eligibility to AR so your team can focus on patients.

Revenue Cycle Management in Vermont for Healthcare Providers: A 180-Day Medicaid Clock and Act 111's New Claims Rules
Vermont Medicaid claims must reach Gainwell Technologies, the state's fiscal agent, within 180 days of the begin date of service when Medicaid is primary. The window stretches to 365 days only when other insurance pays first. Corrected claims get 180 days from the first denial, and late claims are reconsidered only for circumstances outside your control. Clearinghouse reports do not count as proof.
On the commercial side, Act 111 of 2024 requires state-regulated plans, since January 1, 2026, to limit claims editing to recognized standards such as the CMS National Correct Coding Initiative. Act 111 also waives prior authorization for most services ordered by qualifying primary care providers, but only when the claim carries the payer's required identifiers. Self-funded employer plans are not covered.

What Makes Our Vermont
Revenue Cycle Management Different
A small state with two main commercial carriers and a tight Medicaid clock leaves little room for billing mistakes, so our process is built to catch them early.
End-to-End Accountability
We own every stage from the first eligibility check to the last payment posted, so problems found in a denial get traced back and corrected where they started, not patched claim by claim.
BCBSVT and MVP Know-How
BCBSVT covers roughly a third of Vermonters and MVP Health Care holds most of the rest of the individual market. We follow both carriers' Act 111 claim requirements and payment policy notices closely.
180-Day Deadline Control
Every Vermont Medicaid claim is tracked against its 180-day limit from the begin date of service, so rejections get fixed and resubmitted with time left instead of turning into write-offs.
Reporting You Can Act On
Each month you get a clear report on collections, denial rates by payer, and AR aging, plus plain notes on what changed and which fixes we are putting in place next.
Coding That Holds Up
Our coders follow NCCI edits and Vermont Medicaid documentation rules, which keeps claims defensible under Act 111's editing standards and during DVHA post-payment reviews, without slowing down your billing.
Depth Across 47 Specialties
We bill for 47 specialties, so a Burlington family practice and a Rutland orthopedic group each get billers who already know their codes, modifiers, and prior authorization triggers.
Revenue Cycle Support for 47 Medical Specialties in Vermont
Mediknocx supports 47 medical specialties, including family practice, pediatrics, OB-GYN, cardiology, orthopedics, and behavioral health. Specialty knowledge pays off most at coding and denials, where one wrong modifier becomes lost revenue.
How Does Mediknocx Ensure Compliance
With Vermont Medical Billing Regulations?
No Surprises Act
We apply federal good faith estimate rules for self-pay patients and balance billing protections for emergency and certain out-of-network care.
Vermont Timely Filing and Prompt Pay Rules
Under 18 V.S.A. § 9418, a health plan must pay or contest a claim within 30 days of receipt. We track that clock on commercial claims and Vermont Medicaid's 180-day filing limit on every Medicaid claim.
Vermont Billing Transparency
Since July 1, 2025, Act 21 bars credit reporting agencies from carrying medical debt. Vermont Medicaid also requires written, signed notice before a member is billed for a non-covered service. We build both into patient statements.
Payer-Specific Guidelines
We follow the provider requirements of BCBSVT, MVP Health Care, and Vermont Medicaid's General Billing and Forms Manual.

We support practices in Burlington, Rutland, and Bennington, three of Vermont's main hubs for physician groups and specialty clinics billing BCBSVT, MVP, and Vermont Medicaid.
