Urgent care billing refers to the process of translating clinical services into billable claims using standardized medical codes. Every patient visit includes evaluation, diagnosis, procedures, documentation, and claim submission. Even small coding or documentation errors can result in payment delays or denials.
Urgent care billing differs from traditional hospital billing because services are episodic, fast-paced, and often include same-day procedures. Insurance verification, coding accuracy, and claim turnaround time directly affect revenue performance.
