The Challenge

Pediatric billing has its own rules.
Most systems miss them.

Six recurring points of failure sit between a pediatric encounter and a clean claim.

Pediatric Intelligence Hub

Vaccination Coding

CPT and CVX code pairs shift with every ACIP schedule update.

Missed code updates cost an average of $38 per immunization visit.

Modifier 25

Well visits and sick visits on the same day require precise modifier logic.

Improper modifier 25 use is a top audit trigger for pediatric claims.

Developmental Screening

M-CHAT, ASQ, and PEDS screenings each carry distinct billing codes.

Screening codes are bundled or denied in 1 out of 4 claims industry-wide.

Medicaid Rules

Coverage and EPSDT requirements vary by state and by age band.

EPSDT compliance rules shift at six age thresholds before adulthood.

Newborn Care

Hospital, circumcision, and initial newborn codes overlap in the first days of life.

Newborn global periods are among the most frequently miscoded claims.

Bundled Procedures

Vaccine administration, counseling, and injections bundle differently by payer.

Unbundling errors are a leading cause of pediatric claim denials.

What Practices Say

Pediatric practices, in their own words.

"Our vaccine reimbursements went up almost a third within two quarters. Clientele's system understands the CVX-CPT relationship better than most of our coders did."

Practice Administrator
Pediatric Group · Ohio

"Modifier 25 used to be our biggest denial source. It's now one of our cleanest categories."

Revenue Cycle Director
Children's Medical Group · Texas

"The Medicaid logic alone paid for the platform. EPSDT rules change constantly and this is the first system that keeps up."

FAQ

Common questions from pediatric practices

How does Clientele handle vaccine coding changes?

Our engine syncs to the current ACIP immunization schedule and validates every CVX-CPT pairing before a claim is submitted, so schedule updates never become denials.

Can it apply Medicaid rules that differ by state?

Yes. Clientele maintains state-specific EPSDT periodicity and coverage logic, applied automatically based on the patient's state and age.

Does it support modifier 25 for same-day sick and well visits?

Clientele's modifier review flags same-day visit claims and recommends the correct modifier before submission, reducing one of pediatrics' most common denial triggers.

How are developmental screenings billed correctly?

The platform matches the screening tool administered (M-CHAT, ASQ, PEDS, or PHQ-9) to the appropriate code and the child's age band automatically.

Does this replace our practice management system?

No. Clientele layers on top of your existing PM and EHR, validating and enriching claims before they leave your system.

How long does implementation take?

Most pediatric practices are fully live within 3 to 4 weeks, including payer-specific configuration.
