The Internal Medicine
Billing Challenge

Internal medicine practices consistently underbill for Chronic Care Management (CCM) and Annual Wellness Visits (AWV) — two of the highest-margin services available to primary care. Preventive vs. problem-oriented visit miscoding leads to systematic underpayment, and most internists under-code E/M levels relative to the complexity of care they deliver. These compounding errors can cost a practice $50K–$150K annually in lost revenue.

What REL1EF Does Differently

CCM and AWV capture to maximize recurring revenue
Preventive vs. problem-oriented visit coding accuracy

OON Upside

The OON Opportunity
in Internal Medicine

Internal medicine practices with OON patients leave significant revenue on the table by accepting initial payer offers. REL1EF's dedicated negotiation layer recovers up to 6× Medicare rates on internal medicine OON claims — the same procedures that payer vendors routinely reprice to a fraction of billed charges.

Most internal medicine practices bill CCM for fewer than 20% of eligible patients. At $42–$74 per patient per month, a practice with 500 eligible patients leaving 80% unbilled is losing $200K–$350K annually. REL1EF identifies every CCM-eligible patient and builds workflows to capture this recurring revenue stream.
Preventive visits (99381–99397) cover routine wellness exams, while problem-oriented visits (99202–99215) address specific complaints or conditions. When both occur in the same encounter, they can be billed separately with modifier 25 — but most practices fail to split-bill correctly, resulting in systematic underpayment. REL1EF ensures proper coding for every dual-purpose visit.
Under the 2021 E/M guidelines, level selection is based on medical decision-making complexity or total time. Most internists under-code relative to the complexity of care they deliver. REL1EF audits documentation against MDM criteria and provides feedback loops so providers capture the correct level for every visit — often increasing average E/M revenue by 15–25%.
