Urgent Care revenue depends on walk-in accuracy, complete charge capture, and defensible same-day services.
Urgent care spans freestanding centers, health-system networks, physician-owned clinics, and virtual programs. Revenue depends on rapid eligibility, employer responsibility, and correct location setup. Records must support point-of-care tests, injections, supplies, and minor procedures. Coding must separate E/M work, procedure effort, drug units, and payer-specific global-fee rules before billing.

A/R claims managed annually
Fast encounters need complete evidence before missing charges become permanent leakage.
A short walk-in visit can produce several distinct claim lines. Registration errors travel quickly into high-volume A/R. Rapid tests require catalog and modifier discipline. Procedures need exact site, size, and technique. Specialists connect each service to documentation, supplies, and payer policy. RevAmp identifies repeated defects before one clinic pattern spreads across the network.
Capture every rapid test, injection, drug unit, and supply
Separate procedure work from significant same-day E/M
Assign POS 20 and global-fee logic by payer contract
Support built around walk-in eligibility, rapid tests, same-day procedures, and occupational responsibility.
Urgent-care providers need revenue cycle support designed for speed and service combinations. Front-office workflows must identify coverage, employer responsibility, and patient cost. Mid-office controls must align E/M, procedures, tests, drugs, supplies, and modifiers. Back-office teams must resolve POS, bundling, global-fee, and coordination denials before daily volume creates aged inventory.
Front-office
Walk-in eligibility and responsibility review - prevent coverage and employer-balance errors
Mid-office
Rapid-test, procedure-note, and charge review - protect urgent-care coding and revenue integrity
Back-office
POS, modifier, bundling, and global-fee analysis - stop recurring urgent-care denials
Protect rapid-test revenue, same-day procedures, and walk-in cash.
Verify walk-in coverage before the encounter closes
Plan status, copay, network, and responsible party are confirmed during registration. High-volume visits do not become preventable eligibility A/R.
Reconcile rapid tests, drugs, and supplies at visit level
Orders, results, administrations, units, and inventory signals reach charge entry. Small missing lines do not compound across daily volume.
Defend same-day E/M beside minor procedures
Separate medical decision-making supports modifier 25 when appropriate. Laceration repair, drainage, splinting, or injections do not erase justified evaluation work.
Keep occupational medicine responsibility out of patient balances
Employer authorization, workers’ compensation, service scope, and billing instructions align. Work-related visits do not default incorrectly to health-plan or self-pay A/R.
Urgent-care billing expertise, encounter intelligence, and high-volume governance connected.
Expertise-led
Urgent-care specialists connect walk-in speed with line-level billing evidence.
- Coders calibrated on E/M, rapid tests, injections, wounds, and splints
- Access specialists who distinguish health-plan, employer, and liability responsibility
- Denial analysts who separate modifier, POS, bundling, and contract failures
Technology-powered
RevAmp links orders, results, charges, claims, and payer responses.
- Rules flag missing QW, modifier conflicts, drug units, and supply gaps
- Dashboards connect clinic volume, charge capture, denials, aging, and variance
- Prioritized queues route repeated urgent-care defects before filing deadlines
Operationally-governed
Clinic performance follows evidence, ownership, and daily-volume risk.
- Reviews track eligibility, test capture, modifier acceptance, and denials
- Audits convert recurring procedure and charge defects into education
- Operating reviews expose payer edits, clinic variation, actions, and outcomes
Our Vision
Open accountability: Taking responsibility without taking control.
Urgent-care leaders retain control of clinical protocols, staffing, and clinic operations. We bring specialists, RevAmp intelligence, and shared governance. Dashboards connect eligibility, rapid-test capture, procedure coding, drug units, supply charges, occupational responsibility, denials, and payment variance. Every exception carries a clinic, encounter, payer rule, owner, and resolution deadline.
Walk-in eligibility accuracy
Coverage, network, copay, and responsible party align at registration
Point-of-care test capture
Performed rapid tests reach results, charges, and claims
Same-day claim acceptance
Supported E/M and procedures pass modifier and bundling edits
Drug and supply reconciliation
Administered units, splints, and billable supplies reach charge entry
Occupational responsibility accuracy
Employer, workers’ compensation, and patient balances remain separated
Why Us
First-Pass Performance for walk-in visits, rapid tests, supplies, and procedures.
Urgent-care defects repeat quickly across high encounter volume. A missing QW modifier can affect every waived test. An undocumented supply can disappear permanently. Unsupported modifier 25 use can trigger repeated payer scrutiny. First-Pass Performance connects registration, clinical documentation, charge capture, coding, and payer rules before defects spread across clinics.
Rework-Powered Cleanup Machine
Our First-Pass Performance
Rapid-test charge omission
Missing tests are found after results or inventory review.
Orders, results, QW logic, and charges reconcile before billing.
Modifier 25 overcorrection
E/M is appended or removed only after payer response.
Separate decision-making is tested before the claim leaves.
Drug-unit mismatch
Administration and product units diverge during charge entry.
Medication records, units, and claim lines reconcile at encounter level.
POS 20 contract conflict
One place-of-service rule is applied across all payers.
Location setup and payer contracts guide POS and reimbursement logic.
Occupational balance leakage
Work-related balances move between employer, payer, and patient queues.
Authorization and responsibility are established before occupational claims submit.
