Three Tennessee markets, three sets of payer rules

Tennessee's grand divisions behave like three markets, and a claim written in Memphis does not always land the way the same claim written in Kingsport does. Nashville, Franklin, and Brentwood practices carry dense Medicare Advantage and commercial volume, each plan holding its own authorization list and its own read on medical necessity. Around Jackson, Johnson City, and the Cumberland Plateau towns, an hour in the car for a skin check is ordinary, and a correction that requires a second visit costs an appointment the schedule cannot refill quickly.

Clean is not an absolute in this business. The same excision, coded the same way, can pass one payer's edits and trip another's, so we maintain requirements carrier by carrier instead of applying a single house standard to everything. Biologics for psoriasis and atopic dermatitis, photodynamic therapy, and certain lesion procedures carry plan-specific conditions, and what a Chattanooga Medicare Advantage plan approves is not always what a Knoxville employer group's commercial plan will approve.

Underneath the payer variation, dermatology claims fail in a short list of places: an E/M billed the same day as a biopsy without support for modifier 25, separate-site work missing modifier 59, excisions sized after the margins are taken, Mohs stages documented one block short. Most of that can be settled in the chart at the time of service, and settling it there costs less than appealing it later. Working across 42 states, we tend to watch a carrier tighten an edit somewhere else first, then push the correction into our scrub rules, which is what keeps average A/R at 23 days.

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.

Built for trust and compliance

HIPAA workflows

Every workflow and data handoff is built to HIPAA standards. Patient and financial data stays protected at every step of the cycle, from charge entry through collections.

Audit support

TPE, RAC, UPIC, and ADR audits land on us, not your front desk. We manage the response from the first letter through resolution and keep you audit-ready year-round.

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.

Nothing hidden

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.
