Why Choose Medtransic for Epic Systems Integration

How Epic Systems Integration Works

Medtransic connects to Epic via HL7 v2 ADT and charge message interfaces, pulling finalized charge slips from Epic's Resolute Professional Billing module and encounter data from the Hospital Billing module in real time. Our integration engineers configure the HL7 charge feed to capture all charge trigger events from Epic's charge router, including charges generated from order completion, procedure documentation, and nursing flowsheet entries.

Professional claims are routed through a clearinghouse (Availity or Change Healthcare) after Medtransic applies pre-bill edits against live payer fee schedules and NCCI edit tables. Facility claims are routed through Epic's configured clearinghouse path or a secondary clearinghouse we establish based on the health system's payer mix. FHIR R4 APIs are used where available to pull structured charge data for high-volume ancillary services such as laboratory and radiology.

Electronic remittance advice (ERA) is posted back into Epic's Resolute module using X12 835 transactions, maintaining accurate AR balances in Epic's financial ledger. Medtransic's revenue integrity team reviews Epic's revenue cycle dashboards daily, using Epic's built-in reporting tools to track charge lag, clean claim rates, denial reasons, and payment velocity across all departments and billing providers.

Frequently Asked Questions About Epic Systems Integration

How does Medtransic submit professional and facility claims through Epic?

Epic uses the Resolute Professional Billing module for physician claims and the Hospital Billing module for facility charges. Medtransic connects via Epic's HL7 and FHIR interfaces to pull finalized charge slips and encounter data, then routes professional claims through a clearinghouse (Availity or Change Healthcare) and facility claims through Epic's own clearinghouse connection. We configure Epic's charge router rules to flag unbilled charges automatically, minimizing missed revenue.

What denial patterns are most common in Epic-based health systems?

Epic environments frequently see denials from incomplete charge capture in the charge router, missing or mismatched NPI on facility claims, and coordination-of-benefits errors when Epic's benefit verification cache is stale. Complex multi-facility organizations also encounter bundling edits when Epic's grouper logic conflicts with payer-specific NCCI edits. Medtransic runs pre-bill scrubbing against live payer fee schedules to catch these before submission.

How does eligibility verification work within Epic and how does Medtransic enhance it?

Epic's real-time benefits check pulls eligibility via X12 270/271 transactions at scheduling and check-in through Epic's MyChart or front-desk workflows. However, Epic's built-in verification does not always surface secondary payer coordination or deductible accumulator data. Medtransic runs an additional batch eligibility sweep 48 hours before each appointment date and flags discrepancies for staff review, reducing front-end eligibility-related denials by over 30%.

Epic primarily serves large health systems and academic medical centers. What specialty billing complexities does Medtransic handle?

Academic medical center Epic deployments involve complex billing scenarios including teaching physician attestation rules, split/shared visit documentation for resident encounters, and 340B drug billing for oncology infusions. Medtransic's Epic-trained coders audit teaching physician documentation, apply appropriate modifier GC/GE usage, and reconcile 340B claims against the dispensing data to ensure compliant reimbursement for oncology, anesthesiology, and emergency medicine departments.

What does the go-live process look like when transitioning a health system's billing to Medtransic within Epic?

Medtransic coordinates directly with the Epic technical build team to establish HL7 ADT and charge message interfaces, typically requiring 6-8 weeks for an enterprise health system. We run a 4-week parallel billing period — submitting claims through both legacy and Medtransic workflows — before cutting over fully. Post-go-live, a dedicated Epic revenue integrity analyst reviews charge lag reports weekly for the first 90 days to catch any missed charge triggers.
