Pennsylvania Billing Challenges We Solve
Pennsylvania's healthcare billing environment is shaped by a uniquely complex Medicaid managed care structure and a highly competitive commercial market driven by large regional health systems.
Pennsylvania's PROMISe (Provider Reimbursement and Operations Management Information System) has unique claim submission formats, prior authorization workflows, and HealthChoices MCO-specific billing rules that regularly trip up out-of-state billers. Our team uses PROMISe daily and handles all enrollment, submission, and remittance workflows with zero errors.
Pennsylvania's HealthChoices program operates across multiple geographic zones (Southwest, Southeast, Lehigh/Capital, Northeast, Northwest) — each with different MCO partners, prior authorization requirements, and provider networks. Our specialists know which MCOs operate in each zone and ensure correct plan-specific billing for every claim.
Pennsylvania's large regional health systems — UPMC, Jefferson Health, Penn Medicine, Geisinger, and Tower Health — each have complex credentialing and billing requirements for affiliated and independent providers. Our credentialing team navigates these system-specific processes to get providers enrolled and billing faster.
Pennsylvania's behavioral health HealthChoices program is separately managed through Behavioral Health MCOs (BH-MCOs) with distinct service codes, PA-specific procedures, and prior authorization requirements — completely separate from physical health HealthChoices. Our behavioral health billing specialists know PA's BH-MCO billing requirements in full detail.
Every claim we process follows full HIPAA Privacy & Security Rule standards, Pennsylvania Department of Human Services (PA DHS) Medical Assistance billing guidelines, and PA HealthChoices compliance frameworks — protecting your practice from regulatory and audit risk at every step.

What Pennsylvania Providers Say
Real results from real practices across Pennsylvania — from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh.
Our HealthChoices behavioral health billing was a constant problem — every MCO has slightly different coding requirements and our previous biller treated them all the same. ParaMed knew the exact codes for each BH-MCO and our collections increased 36% in the first quarter. Their PA-specific expertise is genuinely unmatched.
Credentialing with UPMC Health Plan and Highmark simultaneously was a nightmare until ParaMed took over. They managed both in parallel and had us fully enrolled 3 weeks faster than projected. Our billing has been seamless ever since — 98%+ first-pass rate and A/R days under 20.
The Community HealthChoices LTSS billing expertise at ParaMed is exceptional. Our previous billing company had no idea how to handle waiver program claims. ParaMed got it right from day one and our CHC collections increased $22,000 per month. That's the kind of expertise that actually moves the needle.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from Pennsylvania healthcare providers considering a billing partner.
Yes — Pennsylvania HealthChoices billing is a core specialty for our Pennsylvania team. We handle billing for all five HealthChoices geographic zones and their respective MCO partners — including Highmark Wholecare, UPMC for You, Geisinger Health Plan, AmeriHealth Caritas, and Keystone First. We also manage physical health vs. behavioral health MCO billing separately, as Pennsylvania maintains distinct BH-MCO organizations for HealthChoices behavioral health services.
Absolutely. Pennsylvania's PROMISe (Provider Reimbursement and Operations Management Information System) is the billing platform for all PA Medical Assistance fee-for-service claims. Our team handles PROMISe enrollment, electronic claim submission, prior authorization workflows, remittance reconciliation, and retroactive eligibility checking. We also manage billing across all PA HealthChoices MCO portals for managed care claims — a completely separate submission pathway from PROMISe.
Yes — Community HealthChoices LTSS billing is a specialty for our Pennsylvania team. We handle all home and community-based services (HCBS) billing, personal care attendant billing, OBRA waiver services, participant-directed services, and nursing facility claims under CHC. We work with all three CHC managed care organizations — UPMC Community HealthChoices, Geisinger Community Health Choices, and PA Health & Wellness — and understand their distinct billing requirements.
Pennsylvania's behavioral health HealthChoices is managed through county-based Behavioral Health MCOs (BH-MCOs) — Community Behavioral Health (CBH) in Philadelphia, PerformCare in many other counties, and county-specific managed care plans elsewhere. Each BH-MCO has distinct service codes, prior authorization procedures, and documentation requirements. Our behavioral health specialists know each county's BH-MCO billing rules and maintain current knowledge of PA DDAP substance use disorder billing requirements.
Most Pennsylvania practices are fully onboarded and billing within 5–10 business days. Our onboarding team handles EHR integration, PA payer enrollment updates, PROMISe portal access, and HealthChoices MCO portal setup simultaneously — with zero gap in billing submissions during the transition. For practices with complex multi-MCO credentialing needs (UPMC + Highmark + HealthChoices), we run all processes in parallel to minimize wait time.
ParaMed operates on a percentage-of-collections model for all Pennsylvania clients — you pay only when we successfully collect revenue for your practice. There are no setup fees, no monthly minimums, and no long-term contracts. Our rate is discussed transparently before any agreement and is based on your practice's volume and billing complexity (including HealthChoices, CHC-LTSS, and behavioral health BH-MCO billing components). Our free audit typically shows PA practices netting 25–35% more revenue even after our fee.
