Why primary care billing matters
Primary care does a lot of work that never gets billed
Primary care practices manage chronic conditions, coordinate with specialists, follow patients after hospital stays and monitor them between visits. Much of that is billable through care management codes, but only if time and consent are documented and the claims go out.
Office visits have their own pitfalls: preventive and problem-oriented visits on the same day, E/M levels chosen by habit, and add-on codes like G2211 that are easy to forget.
We review visits against documentation and help you set up the programs and workflows that capture care management revenue properly.
Where revenue gets stuck
Revenue primary care practices often miss
E/M levels
Levels chosen by medical decision-making or total time, with G2211 where it applies.
Preventive + problem visits
Preventive services and a separate problem-oriented visit billed together with modifier 25.
Annual wellness visits
Medicare AWVs (G0438, G0439) scheduled, documented and billed.
Chronic care management
CCM and principal care management time tracked monthly.
Transitional care
TCM after discharge billed when contact and visit deadlines are met.
Remote monitoring
RPM device supply and management time billed in the right month.
Codes we work with every day
Primary care codes worth getting right
These codes make up a large share of primary care revenue, and each has rules that trip practices up.

Client stories
What practices say about working with us
Family medicine
Most of our patients are on Medicare or Medicaid, and the paperwork rules change constantly. Cure MB catches eligibility problems before the visit, and my front desk stopped fielding angry statement calls.
Dr. Daniel OkaforFamily physician, four-provider practice · Columbus, OH
Cardiology
Cardiology coding is unforgiving, and our old biller kept resubmitting the same rejected claims. This team found the modifier pattern behind the denials and fixed it at the source.
Dr. Priya RamanCardiologist · Charlotte, NC
Pediatrics
Switching billers mid-year felt risky. The handover was organized, the old A/R got cleaned up, and nothing slipped through the cracks while we kept seeing patients.

FAQ
Primary care billing questions
Short answers to what practices ask us most.
Can we bill a preventive visit and a sick visit on the same day?
Yes, if a significant, separate problem was addressed. Bill the preventive visit and the problem-oriented E/M with modifier 25, and document both.
What is G2211?
A Medicare add-on code for the ongoing complexity of care when a practice is the continuing focal point for a patient’s care. It’s billed with office E/M visits when the documentation supports it.
Do you bill chronic care management?
Yes. We help you set up consent and time tracking and bill CCM, principal care management and transitional care management each month.
