NextGen is known for its specialty-specific clinical content. Each specialty template captures different details, and each specialty has its own coding and payer rules. A template built for an eye doctor works very differently from one built for a therapist. Our coders understand how these NextGen templates connect to billing, so the codes your providers pick turn into clean, fully paid claims.
NextGen orthopedic templates capture exams, imaging, joint injections, and surgery planning. Orthopedic billing is full of rules that cause denials when missed. We track global surgery periods so post-op visits are not billed by mistake, and we make sure separate problems during a global period are billed with the right modifier. We check joint injection codes, drug codes, and units, and we review the use of modifiers 25 and 59 when an office visit and a procedure happen on the same day. We also handle durable medical equipment (DME) billing such as braces and splints, which needs its own codes and payer rules.
NextGen behavioral health templates support therapy notes, assessments, and treatment plans. Behavioral health billing depends heavily on time. We make sure psychotherapy codes match the session time written in the note, and that add-on codes like interactive complexity or crisis time are only billed when the note supports them. Many payers limit the number of therapy visits per year or need authorization after a set number of visits, so we track these limits for you. We also follow the changing telehealth rules for behavioral health, including the right place of service and modifiers for video and audio-only visits.
NextGen OB/GYN templates cover prenatal visits, ultrasounds, deliveries, and gynecology care. Obstetric billing often uses a global maternity package, where prenatal care, delivery, and postpartum care are billed together. We make sure the global package is billed correctly, and we handle split billing when a patient changes insurance or providers during pregnancy. We also bill ultrasounds, non-stress tests, and other services that are paid outside the package. On the gynecology side, we separate preventive well-woman visits from problem visits, so both are billed correctly when they happen on the same day.
Ophthalmology and Optometry Billing in NextGen
NextGen ophthalmology templates capture eye exams, diagnostic tests, and procedures. Eye care practices often deal with two kinds of insurance: medical insurance and vision insurance. We make sure each visit is billed to the right one, based on why the patient came in and what was found. We use the right eye exam codes (E/M or the special eye codes), apply bilateral and eye-side modifiers such as RT, LT, and 50, and bill diagnostic tests like OCT and visual fields with correct frequency limits and supporting diagnoses.
Dermatology Billing in NextGen
NextGen dermatology templates document lesions, biopsies, and skin procedures in detail. Dermatology coding depends on the size, location, and type of each lesion, and small details change the code and the payment. We check that lesion size and method of removal match the code billed, that biopsies are linked to the right pathology results, and that multiple procedures on the same day are billed with correct modifiers. We also separate cosmetic services from medically necessary ones, so payers are not billed for services they will never cover.
NextGen gastroenterology templates support consults, endoscopy, and colonoscopy. The biggest billing challenge in GI is the difference between screening and diagnostic colonoscopy. When a screening colonoscopy turns into a diagnostic one because a polyp is removed, patient cost-sharing and coding rules change. We apply the right codes and modifiers, such as PT for Medicare and 33 for many commercial payers, so patients are billed fairly and your practice is paid correctly.
NextGen cardiology templates cover cardiac exams, testing, and ongoing monitoring. Many cardiology tests have two parts: the professional part (the doctor’s reading) and the technical part (the equipment and staff). We bill these parts correctly with modifiers 26 and TC, based on where the test was done and who owns the equipment. We also bill remote cardiac monitoring and device checks, which have strict time periods and rules about how often they can be billed.
NextGen primary care templates support wellness visits, chronic care, and preventive care. Primary care has many codes that are easy to miss. We bill Medicare annual wellness visits, preventive visits, and screening services correctly, and we separate them from problem visits on the same day. We also help capture chronic care management, transitional care management, and quality-related codes that support value-based care and MIPS reporting, so your practice gets paid for the full care you provide, not just the office visit.
