Houston & Gulf Coast

Houston is home to the Texas Medical Center, the largest medical complex in the world, anchoring a healthcare market that includes MD Anderson Cancer Center, Memorial Hermann Health System, and Houston Methodist. The region's heavy energy sector workforce drives strong employer-sponsored commercial insurance coverage alongside significant Medicare and Medicaid populations.

Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex

The DFW Metroplex is the fastest-growing metro area in Texas, with UT Southwestern Medical Center, Baylor Scott & White Health, and Texas Health Resources serving a rapidly expanding patient base. A large employer-sponsored commercial insurance market creates strong reimbursement potential for well-managed practices.

The competitive landscape includes a growing number of private equity-backed practices, driving demand for sophisticated revenue cycle management and payer contract negotiation.

Key specialties in demand: Orthopedics, dermatology, urology, ENT, pain management

Austin & Central Texas

Austin is the fastest-growing healthcare market in Texas, fueled by tech industry migration and young professional demographics. Ascension Seton, St. David's HealthCare, and Baylor Scott & White serve a population that skews younger with strong commercial insurance coverage from major tech employers.

The growing independent practice market and influx of new providers create demand for credentialing services and new practice launch support alongside ongoing billing management.

Key specialties in demand: Primary care, psychiatry, pediatrics, sports medicine, OB/GYN

San Antonio & South Texas

San Antonio's healthcare market is heavily influenced by its large military population centered around Joint Base San Antonio and Fort Sam Houston.

Frequently Asked Questions About Medical Billing in Texas

What is the Texas Prompt Pay Act and how does it affect claim payments?

The Texas Prompt Pay Act (HB 2256) requires insurers to pay or deny clean claims within 30 days for electronic submissions and 45 days for paper claims. Insurers that fail to meet these deadlines owe penalty interest at 18% annually on the unpaid amount. Medtransic tracks every claim against these deadlines and files prompt pay complaints with the Texas Department of Insurance when payers fail to comply.

How does Texas Medicaid (STAR, STAR+PLUS, CHIP) billing work?

Texas Medicaid operates through managed care organizations under the STAR program for families and children, STAR+PLUS for adults with disabilities, and CHIP for children's coverage. Each MCO (Amerigroup, Molina, UnitedHealthcare Community Plan, Superior HealthPlan) has separate authorization requirements and fee schedules. Medtransic manages the complexities of each plan to ensure maximum reimbursement for our Texas providers.

How does Texas SB 1264 protect against balance billing?

SB 1264, Texas's surprise billing law, prohibits out-of-network providers from balance-billing patients for emergency services and certain non-emergency services at in-network facilities. The law establishes a mediation and arbitration process for payment disputes between providers and insurers. Our team applies SB 1264 rules to all applicable claims and navigates the dispute resolution process when needed.

How does having no state income tax in Texas affect practice finances and billing?

Texas's lack of state income tax means practice revenue is not reduced by state-level taxation, but this also means the state relies on other revenue sources that can impact healthcare. Practices benefit from keeping more of their collections, making efficient billing even more impactful to bottom-line profitability. Medtransic helps Texas practices maximize every dollar collected through clean claims, denial prevention, and aggressive follow-up.

What are the Texas Medical Board requirements for billing documentation?

The Texas Medical Board requires physicians to maintain complete and accurate medical records that support all billed services, with records retained for at least seven years. Insufficient documentation is a leading cause of claim denials and audit risk in Texas. Medtransic provides documentation improvement guidance and pre-billing audits to ensure our clients' claims are fully supported.

What are the timely filing deadlines for Texas insurance claims?

Texas commercial payer timely filing deadlines typically range from 90 to 365 days depending on the payer contract, with many major plans using a 180-day window. Medicare requires claims within 12 months, and Texas Medicaid MCOs generally require submission within 95 days of the date of service. Medtransic submits claims within 24-48 hours to ensure no revenue is lost to missed deadlines.

How much do medical billing services cost in Texas?

Medical billing outsourcing for Texas practices typically ranges from 4-8% of monthly collections, depending on practice size, specialty, and claim volume. Medtransic offers transparent, competitive pricing with no hidden fees. Most Texas practices see a net revenue increase after partnering with us because of reduced denials and faster collections.
