NextGen PM & Billing Setup
4 questionsTo bill APCM codes like G0511 or 99490, you must update your NextGen PM master files with the correct CPT/HCPCS codes and link them to the appropriate fee schedules. Tile Healthcare assists by ensuring every patient interaction is logged with precise timestamps that map directly to these billing requirements.
Most APCM claims in NextGen require specific modifiers such as the 25 modifier if an E/M visit occurs on the same day. Ensure your NextGen billing rules engine is configured to flag these interactions to prevent bundling denials and ensure full reimbursement for chronic care services.
NextGen’s Care Management module allows for manual time logging, but Tile Healthcare automates this by tracking the exact duration of AI-led patient interactions. This data can be pushed via API or documented in the patient chart to satisfy CMS audit requirements for time-based billing.
While NextGen can generate claims based on documented encounters, the trigger often requires manual review. By using AI to handle the initial patient outreach and documentation, your staff only needs to perform a final review in the NextGen PM worklog before submission.
