Nephrology Billing Challenges That Drain Revenue

Nephrology billing requires precision in ESRD coding, bundling rules, and outlier validation — errors lead to automatic denials or recoupments.

Incorrect ESRD Coding

Using 90935 instead of 90970 for monthly management triggers 50–100% revenue loss per patient.

ESRD Bundle Non-Compliance

Unbundling labs or drugs outside of CMS exceptions causes overpayment recoupments and audits.

Missing Outlier Payments

Failing to validate outlier costs for complex patients results in $100–$500 lost per session.

EMR-Billing Workflow Gaps

Charge capture delays between nurse documentation and billing result in under-coded sessions.
