Our Success in Numbers
Surgery Centers That Trust Our ASC Billing Services
Transcure provides ASC billing services and revenue cycle support for surgery centers across New Jersey. We work with licensed multi-specialty ASCs, GI and ophthalmology centers, and physician-owned orthopedic and spine facilities, supporting both registered surgical practices and larger management groups.
How Does Transcure Increase Collections for New Jersey Surgery Centers?
Transcure captures the New Jersey money most facility billers leave behind: PIP underpayments, unfiled arbitrations, and misclassified gross receipts. Our medical billing services help your ASC bill facility claims full time.
AI Eligibility Verification (ELIXA)
Cases get booked before coverage is confirmed, and the center absorbs the loss. ELIXA verifies benefits across NJ FamilyCare, the five MCOs, Medicare Advantage, and Horizon BCBSNJ. Coverage problems surface at scheduling, not at posting.
Prior Authorization Management (PRIA)
Spine, orthopedic, and pain cases sit behind Horizon, Aetna, and benefit manager review. PRIA files and tracks authorizations through NJMMIS and each commercial portal. Approvals are secured at the CPT level before the case is booked.
Facility Coding and Rate Assignment (CODIN)
Facility coding follows different rules than professional coding, and the wrong assignment pays the wrong rate. CODIN applies Medicare ASC payment indicators and NJ FamilyCare facility rates to every line. Claims leave clean at a 99% first-pass rate.
Denial Detection and Appeals (DEXA)
New Jersey ASC denials cluster around authorization mismatch, bundling edits, and missing implant records. DEXA reads these patterns across Horizon, Aetna, and the Medicaid plans, then drafts appeals. We recover 80% of initially denied claims.
PIP and Auto Injury Billing
Auto volume drives a large share of New Jersey ortho, spine, and pain revenue. It prices on its own schedule unlike other claims. We bill PIP against the ASC fee schedule at Exhibit 7, using the correct regional table. Underpaid claims move to PIP arbitration instead of aging out.
Out-of-Network Arbitration and IDR Filing
Out-of-network facility claims go unpaid while the window to dispute quietly closes. We file arbitration through the DOBI process under P.L. 2018, c.32. Claims under self-funded ERISA plans go to federal IDR instead, under the No Surprises Act.
Implant and Device Invoice Billing
Device-intensive cases lose money when the invoice never reaches the payer with the claim. We bill HCPCS L-codes and C-codes with documentation attached at submission. Carve-out dollars get collected rather than absorbed into the case rate.
Gross Receipts Classification
New Jersey assesses licensed ambulatory care facilities on gross receipts, and Medicaid revenue is excluded by statute. We classify collections by payer type inside your billing system every year. Your HFEL-5 filing reports an accurate number instead of an inflated one.
Multiple Procedure Discount Auditing
Payers apply the 50% multiple procedure reduction to the wrong line and shortchange the primary code. Each multi-procedure remittance is checked line by line against the ranking the contract sets. Misapplied reductions get reopened and repaid.
Facility Enrollment and Credentialing
A lapsed enrollment freezes every Medicaid and Medicare claim your center submits. We manage NJMMIS, CMS-855B, CAQH, PECOS, and payer applications. Revalidation and accreditation dates are tracked well ahead of expiry.
2026 CPL Migration Support
CMS added roughly 560 procedures to the ASC Covered Procedures List for 2026. We confirm coverage and contracted rates with each New Jersey payer before your center schedules a new case type. New volume gets paid instead of denied on site of service.
What New Jersey Billing Laws and Rules Does Transcure ASC Billing Services Handle?
Five New Jersey rules govern how a surgery center gets paid. Transcure applies each one at the coding stage, before a denial or an assessment penalty arrives.
Out-of-Network Consumer Protection Act
P.L. 2018, c.32 caps patient responsibility at the in-network cost share for inadvertent out-of-network facility care. Payment disputes move to binding arbitration administered through DOBI. We document network status and file inside the deadline so your center collects a defensible rate.
ASC Licensure Under N.J.S.A. 26:2H-12
New Jersey licenses surgery centers as ambulatory care facilities under N.J.A.C. 8:43A and 8:43E. One-room registered surgical practices were required to apply for ASC licensure. The Department of Health reissued guidance on that obligation in August 2025. We keep billing records aligned with your current license category.
Ambulatory Care Facility Assessment
N.J.S.A. 26:2H-18.57 and N.J.A.C. 8:31A assess licensed ambulatory care facilities at 2.5% of calendar year gross receipts. Facilities that miss the HFEL-5 filing deadline face a default assessment of $350,000. A civil penalty of $500 per day applies to continued non-compliance.
PIP Medical Fee Schedule
N.J.S.A. 39:6A-4.6 requires DOBI to publish regional medical fee schedules for auto injury claims. The ASC fee schedule sits at N.J.A.C. 11:3-29 Appendix Exhibit 7, priced by North, Central, and South region. We bill every PIP case against the correct regional table.

Which New Jersey Revenue Streams Do Out-of-State Billers Miss?
Out-of-state billers miss three New Jersey revenue streams: PIP recovery, DOBI arbitration, and accurate gross receipts classification. PIP cases get priced off the wrong regional table with no arbitration filed. Out-of-network claims sit past the DOBI deadline. Medicaid revenue gets counted into the gross receipts assessment.
Transcure assigns billers who work New Jersey facility claims daily and know which stream each case belongs to. They file arbitration before the window closes, keep Medicaid dollars out of the assessment base, and treat each MCO as its own workflow. Your center gets people who read a remittance the way DOBI reads a filing.

Where Does a New Jersey Surgery Center Actually Lose Money?
New Jersey surgery centers lose money in four places, and only one of them is a standard denial. Underpaid PIP claims priced below Exhibit 7 sit unchallenged. Out-of-network disputes miss the DOBI deadline. Gross receipts get overstated because Medicaid revenue was never excluded. Authorization and bundling edits close out the list.
Transcure recovers each one on its own path: PIP arbitration filings, disputes under P.L. 2018, c.32, corrected HFEL-5 classification, and root-cause appeals through DEXA. Our fee runs 4% to 6% of what we collect for you. Your center gets facility coders, AI denial agents, and New Jersey arbitration specialists on every claim.
What are the Key Attributes That Make Transcure New Jersey's Top ASC Billing Company?
New Jersey surgery centers pick Transcure for the reasons below. Each one connects to a facility claim getting paid in full.
New Jersey ASC Compliance Desk
A dedicated desk tracks the Department of Health Division of Certificate of Need and Licensing, DOBI, and DMAHS. The August 2025 licensure guidance reached our protocols the month it published. You never learn about a rule change from a denial.
AI RCM Agents
Four agents handle your facility claims: ELIXA on eligibility, PRIA on authorization, CODIN on coding, DEXA on appeals. Together they hold a 99% first-pass clean claim rate. Coverage spans NJ FamilyCare, Medicare, PIP, and commercial plans.
New Jersey Facility Enrollment
We file NJMMIS enrollment, CMS-855B ASC certification, CAQH profiles, and payer applications. Revalidation and accreditation deadlines are tracked before they lapse. Your center never bills against an inactive enrollment.
Certified ASC Billing Specialists
Every biller on your account holds CPC, CCS, or CPMA certification. Annual training covers Exhibit 7 PIP pricing, DOBI arbitration procedure, HFEL-5 reporting, and Medicare payment indicators. Facility billing is their discipline, not a secondary skill.
PIP and Arbitration Recovery Team
A dedicated team works underpaid auto claims and unfiled out-of-network disputes. Cases are checked against the correct regional table and pushed to arbitration when the payment falls short. Recovered dollars are reported to your board each quarter.
New Jersey Payer Contract Analysis
We measure Horizon, Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, and Wellpoint payments against your contracted percentage of Medicare ASC rates. Underpaid rate groups and implant lines get flagged. Renegotiation is backed by your own claim history.
What ASC Software and EHR Systems Does Transcure Support in New Jersey?
Transcure bills inside the surgery center platforms your team already uses. We connect to your current system, so nothing migrates and case posting continues uninterrupted.

Frequently Asked Questions About ASC Billing Services in New Jersey
New Jersey surgery center administrators ask these questions most about facility billing, state rules, and payment recovery.
What can a New Jersey surgery center collect from an out-of-network patient?
Patient responsibility is capped at the in-network cost share for inadvertent out-of-network facility care. P.L. 2018, c.32 sends the remaining payment dispute to binding arbitration administered through DOBI. Balance billing the patient for the difference is prohibited. Transcure documents network status, files the arbitration, and pursues a defensible facility rate.
How does New Jersey PIP pay a surgery center facility claim?
Auto injury claims price against the ambulatory surgical center fee schedule at N.J.A.C. 11:3-29 Appendix Exhibit 7. Rates vary by North, Central, and South region, so the county your center sits in changes the payment. Transcure applies the correct regional table and pushes underpaid claims to PIP arbitration.
How is the New Jersey ambulatory care facility assessment calculated?
Licensed ambulatory care facilities are assessed 2.5% of calendar year gross receipts under N.J.S.A. 26:2H-18.57. Reimbursements from Medicaid and NJ FamilyCare are excluded from the gross receipts calculation. Miss the HFEL-5 filing and the default assessment is $350,000. Transcure classifies collections by payer type so your reported figure is accurate.
Which 2026 Medicare changes affect New Jersey surgery center revenue?
CMS raised ASC payment rates 2.6% for 2026 and added roughly 560 codes to the ASC Covered Procedures List. A three-year phase-out of the inpatient-only list began with 285 mostly musculoskeletal procedures. Transcure verifies coverage and contracted rates with each payer before your center takes on a new case type.
How quickly can Transcure start billing for our New Jersey surgery center?
Most centers are live within five to seven business days. During that period we connect your ASC platform and verify payer enrollment. NJMMIS records, CAQH profiles, and each MCO workflow are configured in parallel. PIP and out-of-network queues are set up in the same window. Billing continues with no gap in cash flow.
What is the timely filing window for NJ FamilyCare facility claims?
Fee-for-service NJ FamilyCare allows one year from the date of service under N.J.A.C. 10:49-7.2. Managed care plans run shorter windows, commonly 180 days, and each contract sets its own. Once a window closes there is no appeal path. Transcure files every claim against the shortest applicable deadline.
