Statewide Tennessee Obstacles

Tennessee Healthcare Billing Challenges We Solve

Challenge #01

TennCare Medicaid MCO Adjudication Quirks

TennCare operates entirely through managed care organizations including BlueCare, Amerigroup, and UnitedHealthcare Community Plan, each with divergent timely filing and billing rules. Shoreline synchronizes billing rules across all three MCOs.

Challenge #02

Tennessee Prompt Pay Act Compliance & AR Recovery

Tennessee law requires clean claims to be paid within 30 days for electronic submissions. Our aging AR recovery specialists enforce prompt-pay statutory interest on delayed commercial payments.

Challenge #03

Substance Use Disorder (SUD) & Behavioral Health Billing

Tennessee specialized behavioral health and addiction medicine programs face rigorous parity documentation and bundling guidelines. We manage complex multi-tiered therapy and MAT billing protocols.

Challenge #04

Hospital-Physician Alignment & Credentialing Timelines

Onboarding physicians with Tennessee health systems and commercial payers often takes up to 120 days. We expedite CAQH re-attestations and payer enrollment to protect revenue during provider transitions.
