Medical billing for disability services requires specialized knowledge of payer guidelines, coding, and documentation to ensure accurate reimbursement. Unlike standard medical billing, disability services often involve long-term care, therapies, and assistive devices covered by Medicaid, Medicare, or private insurers. Proper billing practices help healthcare providers avoid claim denials, maximize revenue, and maintain compliance with state and federal regulations. This guide covers essential steps, common challenges, and best practices for navigating the complexities of disability service billing.
