Professional Revenue Cycle Management in Virginia: Two Blue Plans Split by Route 123 and Five Cardinal Care MCOs
Virginia has two Blue Cross Blue Shield plans, and geography decides which one a practice deals with. Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield covers the state except the City of Fairfax, the Town of Vienna, and the area east of Route 123. That carve-out, which includes Arlington County and Alexandria, is CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield territory. A Northern Virginia group can bill both, and each has its own portal, fee schedules, and claim edits.
Cardinal Care is equally layered. Since July 1, 2025, five MCOs serve members: Aetna Better Health of Virginia, Anthem HealthKeepers Plus, Humana Healthy Horizons in Virginia (which replaced Molina), Sentara Health Plans, and UnitedHealthcare Community Plan. Providers enroll with DMAS through its PRSS portal, then contract with each MCO separately. Fee-for-service claims must reach DMAS within 12 months of the date of service.

The Full Revenue Cycle We Manage in Virginia
- Patient Access & Eligibility Verification: Cardinal Care eligibility and MCO assignment checked on the Virginia Medicaid provider portal, plus Anthem, CareFirst, and other commercial benefit checks.
- Charge Capture & Coding: CPT, ICD-10-CM, and HCPCS coding reviewed against NCCI edits, which DMAS notes cannot be bypassed with modifiers alone.
- Claims Submission: Clean electronic claims sent to the correct Blue plan, MCO, or DMAS fee-for-service.
- Payment Posting: ERAs and remittances posted and checked against each payer's contracted rates.
- Denial Management & Appeals: Denied DMAS claims resubmitted within 13 months of the first denial, plus MCO and commercial appeals.
- AR Follow-Up: Commercial claims tracked against Virginia's 40-day payment rule.
- Reporting: Monthly reports on collections, denial trends, and days in AR.

What Makes Our Virginia
Revenue Cycle Management Different
Virginia practices deal with more payer variety than most states, so our RCM process is built to keep every payer's rules straight.
One Team, Full Cycle
The same team handles your eligibility checks, coding, claims, posting, and follow-up, so a pattern spotted in denials gets corrected at intake instead of showing up again on next month's claims.
Anthem and CareFirst Experience
Anthem is Virginia's largest health insurer, and CareFirst covers the Blue market east of Route 123. We work both plans' edits and portals, so Northern Virginia claims reach the right Blue plan.
Deadline Tracking by Payer
Each claim is logged against its payer's filing limit, including DMAS's 12-month rule, so rejected claims get corrected and resubmitted well before the window closes on your practice.
Monthly, Plain-Language Reports
Every month you receive a clear report on collections, denial rates by payer, and AR aging, with short notes explaining what moved, why it moved, and what we are changing next.
Compliance at Every Step
Coding follows NCCI edits and DMAS documentation rules, and patient billing follows Virginia's balance billing law, which lowers audit and complaint exposure while keeping claims moving on schedule.
47 Specialties Covered
We bill for 47 specialties, so a Richmond cardiology group and a Virginia Beach pediatric practice each get billers who already know their codes, modifiers, and authorization rules.
Revenue Cycle Support for 47 Medical Specialties in Virginia
Mediknocx supports 47 medical specialties, including family practice, internal medicine, pediatrics, OB-GYN, cardiology, and orthopedics. Specialty knowledge matters most at coding and denials, where one missed modifier becomes lost revenue.
How Does Mediknocx Ensure Compliance
With Virginia Medical Billing Regulations?
No Surprises Act
We apply federal good faith estimate rules for self-pay patients and federal balance billing protections alongside Virginia's own law.
Virginia Timely Payment Law
Va. Code § 38.2-3407.15 requires carriers to pay a clean claim within 40 days of receipt. Since January 1, 2026, required claim notices must be delivered electronically. We track both on every commercial claim.
Virginia Billing Transparency
Since January 1, 2021, Virginia law bars out-of-network providers from balance billing patients for emergency care and for surgical or ancillary services at in-network facilities. Patients owe only in-network cost sharing, and payment disputes go to State Corporation Commission arbitration.
Payer-Specific Guidelines
We follow the provider manuals for Anthem, CareFirst, Sentara Health Plans, and each Cardinal Care MCO.
