Trusted Revenue Cycle Management in Washington: Five Integrated Apple Health Plans and Strict Prior Authorization Clocks
Apple Health members are enrolled in one of five MCOs: Community Health Plan of Washington, Coordinated Care, Molina Healthcare of Washington, UnitedHealthcare Community Plan, and Wellpoint Washington (formerly Amerigroup). Each plan covers physical health, mental health, and substance use treatment under one contract, with its own authorization rules and claim edits. Enrollment can change monthly, so eligibility has to be checked in ProviderOne before each visit.
Commercial prior authorization runs on state deadlines. Under RCW 48.43.830, carriers must decide an electronic standard request within three calendar days and an electronic expedited request within one. Fax or phone requests get five days and two days. A practice that submits authorizations electronically, with complete clinical notes, gets decisions faster and avoids services performed before approval arrives.

What Makes Our Washington
Revenue Cycle Management Different
Washington's mix of integrated Medicaid plans and strict commercial rules rewards billing teams that track every payer closely, and that's how we work.
Ownership From Start to Finish
One team runs your eligibility checks, coding, claims, posting, and follow-up, so a denial trend found in one plan gets fixed where it started rather than repeating across next month's claims.
Premera and MCO Experience
Premera covered more than half of Seattle-area commercial enrollment in recent market data. We work its edits alongside all five Apple Health MCOs, so each claim meets the right payer's rules.
365-Day and 24-Month Tracking
Every Apple Health claim is logged against HCA's 365-day initial filing limit and 24-month adjustment window, so rejected claims get corrected and resubmitted while there is still time.
Monthly Reports in Plain English
Each month you receive a clear report on collections, denial rates by payer, and AR aging, with brief notes on what changed, why, and which fixes we are putting in place next.
Compliance Built Into Billing
Coding follows NCCI edits and HCA documentation rules, and patient statements follow Washington's Balance Billing Protection Act, which lowers audit and complaint risk while your claims keep moving.
Coverage for 47 Specialties
Our billers work across 47 specialties, so a Seattle orthopedic group and a Spokane behavioral health practice each get a team that knows their codes, modifiers, and authorization triggers.
Revenue Cycle Support for 47 Medical Specialties in Washington
Mediknocx supports 47 medical specialties, including family practice, internal medicine, pediatrics, OB-GYN, cardiology, and behavioral health. Specialty knowledge matters most at coding and denials, where one missed modifier becomes lost revenue.
How Does Mediknocx Ensure Compliance
With Washington Medical Billing Regulations?
No Surprises Act
We apply federal good faith estimate rules for self-pay patients and federal balance billing protections alongside Washington's own law.
Washington Timely Filing and Payment Rules
Apple Health requires initial claims within 365 days of service under WAC 182-502-0150. For commercial claims, WAC 284-170-431 requires carriers to pay 95% of a provider's clean claims within 30 days and to pay or deny 95% of all claims within 60 days, with 1% monthly interest on late payments.
Washington Billing Transparency
The Balance Billing Protection Act (chapter 48.49 RCW) bars out-of-network providers from balance billing patients for emergency care and for certain services at in-network facilities. Patients owe only in-network cost sharing, and payment disputes go to arbitration.
Payer-Specific Guidelines
We follow the provider manuals for Premera Blue Cross, Regence BlueShield, and each Apple Health MCO.
