Which Illinois Billing Laws Does Transcure Medical Billing Services Handle?
Transcure manages every Illinois billing law that puts your practice’s revenue at compliance risk. Our medical billers in Illinois track legislative changes from HFS, IDOI, and IDFPR weekly to keep your collections protected.
Illinois Prompt Payment Act (215 ILCS 5/368a)
The Prompt Payment Act forces commercial payers like Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois and Aetna to pay clean claims within 30 days. Transcure's DEXA AI agent timestamps every submission to BCBSIL, UnitedHealthcare, Cigna, and Humana. We file 9% statutory interest claims against late payers under 215 ILCS 5/368a(c).
HFS Medicaid and HealthChoice Illinois MCO Compliance
HFS requires NPI-validated claims through MEDI, with strict, timely filing limits of 180 days. Our Illinois Medicaid team manages eligibility checks across Aetna Better Health, Blue Cross Community, CountyCare, and YouthCare. We handle prior authorizations, NEMT billing, and appeals under 305 ILCS 5/11-13.
Network Adequacy and Transparency Act
Illinois Public Act 99-0480 mandates that payer network directories stay accurate, and patients receive cost transparency before service. Transcure verifies in-network status against IDOI directories before claim submission. Your practice avoids the $500 per-violation penalty under 215 ILCS 124/30.
Illinois Workers' Compensation Medical Fee Schedule
The IWCC publishes a binding fee schedule under 820 ILCS 305/8.2 that caps reimbursement at 53.2% of the 2004 charge baseline. Our Illinois medical billing experts and coders bill workers' compensation claims at the exact IWCC POS-adjusted rate. We dispute underpayments through the Commission's Section 8.2(e)(3) review process.

Ready to Recover the Revenue Your Illinois Practice Is Losing?
Illinois practices lose 8 to 11% of net revenue every year to denied claims, underpayments, and missed Prompt Payment Act interest. Your billing team is too stretched to file IDR submissions, audit HFS denials, and track 215 ILCS 5/368a deadlines at the same time.
Transcure plugs in DEXA for denial recovery, PRIA for prior auths, and ELIXA for eligibility checks across every Illinois payer you bill. Your first-pass acceptance rate climbs above 99%. Your AR days drop below 28. Your patient collections cross 92%.
