Credentialing and billing on one team for Maryland practices

A single day's schedule in Bethesda or Silver Spring can hold patients living in the District, Virginia, and Pennsylvania, each carrying a plan written for a different market. Practices in Salisbury and Bowie see the same pattern from the Delaware side, and Hagerstown sees it from Pennsylvania and West Virginia. Plan rules and eligibility have to be right at check-in, because a claim built on the wrong plan comes back weeks after the visit that could have caught it.

That mix changes what a hire costs. One PA or nurse practitioner added in Columbia, Frederick, or Annapolis is never one enrollment; it is Medicare, Maryland Medicaid, the commercial carriers, the Medicare Advantage plans, and whatever District and Virginia coverage the panel brings along. Those approvals never land on the same day. A clinician can be fully participating for half a schedule and non-participating for the rest, which is why the first quarter after a hire so often reads as underproduction on a report.

Our credentialing staff and our billers work the same accounts, so the person tracking an application also knows which claims are sitting behind it. Holds become deliberate instead of accidental, retroactive dates get worked before timely filing windows close, and a clinician in Towson or Glen Burnie starts collecting near the point they started treating patients. A second office in Gaithersburg or Rockville follows the same sequence, since the address has to be on a payer's file before place-of-service edits stop rejecting the claims. We have run it this way since 2017, now for 200+ practices in 42 states, and the corridor payer mix is familiar ground.

Specialize only in dermatology

We work with dermatology and nothing else. Across $1.13B in annual charges, we've built scrub rules and denial patterns that catch what generalists miss: Mohs, modifier 25, KX modifiers, pathology, cosmetic vs. medical. That focus is most of the gap between a 90% and 98% NCR.

Dedicated pod routing payer follow-up, prior auth, and patient billing questions

Keep control with a named team

You get a senior account manager and a named pod, not a call center and a ticket queue. Live dashboards show where every claim stands, and we flag issues before they cost you. It should feel like an extension of your practice, not a black box you hand things to and hope.

Partner beyond the billing

Most billers stop at claims. We advise on provider compensation, payer contract terms, growth planning, and practice valuation, and we bring what's working across 200+ derm groups to your practice. Strategic guidance is part of the partnership, not a separate invoice.

Take over your full cycle on day one

From eligibility and charge entry through collections, we own the whole cycle. We take over your aged A/R from day one at no separate charge, so older claims keep getting worked while new ones go out same-day. Nothing gets stranded in the handoff.

Benefits

Higher collections, faster.

Practices see material revenue improvement, often within the first 90 days. Average net collection rate of 96%+ (98% for practices with Clarity 1+ years). Average revenue uplift of 118% — that's not percentage points, it's a multiplier.

A/R that doesn't age.

23-day average DSO vs. the industry average of ~45 days. Money in your account in weeks, not months.

Claims that go through the first time.

98%+ clean claim rate vs. the industry's ~85%. Fewer denials means less rework, less frustration, and faster payment.

Time back.

Stop managing billing staff, chasing claims, and dealing with turnover. Redirect that energy to patient care and practice growth.

Financial clarity.

CEO-level visibility into your practice's financial performance. Dashboards, benchmarks, and proactive insights — not a monthly PDF you never open.

A growth partner, not just a biller.

From payer contract strategy to expansion planning, Clarity invests in your practice's long-term success.

Our pillars

Deep Dermatology Expertise

Clarity works exclusively with dermatology practices. Not multi-specialty. Not generalist. 100% derm. We've built derm-specific scrub rules and denial-trend algorithms from processing over $1.13B in annual charges across 200+ practices. Certified dermatology coders who know Mohs coding, modifier 25, KX modifiers, pathology billing, and cosmetic vs. medical separation — the areas where generalists leave money behind. Benchmarking against the largest dermatology-specific dataset in independent practice RCM.

High-Touch Control

Every practice gets a dedicated Senior Account Manager and a named pod — not a call center. Live dashboards and transparent reporting so physician-owners always know where things stand. Proactive alerts and on-call escalation. We surface issues before they become problems. The feeling should be "extension of my team," not "black box vendor."

Practice Partnership

Clarity goes beyond billing. We consult on provider compensation models, payer contract negotiations, growth strategy, and practice valuation. Best-practice transfer from 200+ derm groups. What's working at other top-performing practices? We bring that insight to you. No nickel-and-diming for advisory conversations. Strategic guidance is baked into the partnership.

US-based account leads

Your senior account manager and the leadership running your account are US-based and accountable to you directly. You always know who owns your results and how to reach them.

Live dashboards and transparent reporting mean you see what we see. No monthly PDF you never open, no opaque numbers, just a clear view of your practice's financial health.

Get a free billing analysis

We'll review your last 90 days of billing data and show you exactly whereyou're leaving revenue behind. Takes 30 minutes. No strings attached.

Bundled billing from your EMR vendor is convenient, but convenience and performance aren't the same thing. Those services run on generalist teams handling every specialty at once. We work only with dermatology, assign you a named senior account manager, and post a 98% net collection rate against an industry average near 90%. You shouldn't accept lower collections just to keep one login.
