Hospital Billing Services in Florida
Facility billing for hospitals and health systems. UB-04 claim preparation, inpatient DRG coding, outpatient APC compliance, and ED billing managed by a team with dedicated hospital billing experience.
How Hospital Billing Differs From Physician Billing
Hospital and facility billing runs on the institutional claim form with its own coding systems, revenue codes and payment methodologies. Inpatient stays are grouped for payment while outpatient services follow a separate structure, and neither behaves like professional billing.
- Institutional claims prepared with the fields facility billing requires
- Inpatient and outpatient services handled under their separate rules
- Revenue codes and charge structure reconciled against the chargemaster
- Facility and professional components kept distinct where both are billed
Hospital Billing Built for Facility Complexity
Hospital billing operates under a different set of rules than physician billing. Facility claims use the UB-04 form, revenue codes, and coding systems specific to hospital services. Getting this right requires a team trained in facility billing, not just general medical billing.
Medsure RCS provides hospital billing services for hospitals, health systems, and outpatient facilities across Florida. Our team manages the full facility billing lifecycle, from charge capture review and UB-04 preparation through payer follow-up, payment posting, and denial management.
Facility Types We Serve
What Our Hospital Billing Service Covers

ED Billing Management
Emergency department facility billing with appropriate facility E&M level assignment, observation vs. inpatient status determination, and ED-specific payer rule compliance.
Hospital Compliance Awareness
Facility billing is governed by CMS Conditions of Participation and UB-04 billing guidelines that differ from professional billing. Our hospital billing team is trained specifically for facility claim requirements.

Learn MoreHospital Billing Across Florida
Florida's hospital environment involves a complex payer mix including Medicare, Florida Medicaid managed care, commercial insurance, and facility-specific programs. Medicare is the dominant payer for most Florida hospital systems given the state's older population, and CMS billing compliance requirements apply directly to every inpatient and outpatient facility claim.
Florida Medicaid managed care plans, including Sunshine Health, WellCare, Molina, and Staywell, each have facility-specific billing requirements and prior authorization rules for hospital services. We manage plan-specific hospital billing workflows to reduce denials and accelerate payment timelines.

"Service is good overall but the onboarding took longer than we expected. Took about six weeks before things were really running smoothly for our gastroenterology practice. Once it clicked though the colonoscopy and endoscopy claims started going out clean and we stopped seeing the NCCI bundling rejections that had been killing us. Would still recommend but just be patient in the beginning."

Hospital Billing Services: Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about hospital and facility billing and how our hospital billing services work.
Facility billing refers to claims submitted by a hospital or outpatient facility for overhead, equipment, and facility services. This is separate from professional fee billing submitted by the treating physician. Facility claims use the UB-04 form with revenue codes, condition codes, and other data elements specific to hospital billing.
The UB-04 (CMS-1450) is the standard claim form used for hospital and facility billing. It requires revenue codes, condition codes, value codes, and occurrence codes that differ from the CMS-1500 used for professional billing. Accurate UB-04 preparation requires facility-specific billing expertise.
Yes. We manage inpatient facility billing with ICD-10-PCS coding and MS-DRG assignment, outpatient facility billing with revenue code mapping and APC compliance, and emergency department facility billing with appropriate level assignment.
Hospital billing uses the UB-04 form, revenue codes, and facility-specific data fields. Physician billing uses the CMS-1500 and CPT codes. Hospital billing is subject to different CMS regulations, charge master structures, and facility-specific compliance requirements that do not apply to professional billing.
Common hospital claim denials include medical necessity for inpatient admission status, incorrect patient status classification (inpatient vs. observation), missing or incomplete clinical documentation, authorization denials, and revenue code errors. We manage appeals for all hospital-specific denial types.
