Accurate Nephrology Billing for Fair Practice Reimbursements
Helping your nephrology practice grow through correct coding and accurate claims generation using advanced e-billing systems. Two-layer quality checks before claim submissions ensure adherence to regulatory standards and quick payments for the services you provide — the full discipline of our revenue cycle management.
Manual nephrology coding and billing can be tough, but MarkLab has made it easier by incorporating electronic systems. We keep all your practice and patients’ information in advanced, protected documentation software for safe billing. Moreover, our experts get you authorization for the required procedures from payers on time — through our authorization workflows — to avoid denials.
Further, we know that nephrology care procedures and their codes differ. Thus, our certified coders use advanced systems for coding applications to minimize bundling and unbundling errors. Additionally, our team records all processed and paid claims for proper revenue cycle management. Also, we provide regular financial reports to update you on your revenue performance.

Nephrology Billing Plan
Nephrology coding sets are complex to understand, but our specialized knowledge and plan simplify the process. The steps we follow are:
- Insurance Verification — coverage confirmed before every procedure
- Practice Coding — correct nephrology codes applied to each service
- Modifier Application — modifiers used accurately to prevent denials
- Two-Layer QA — every claim reviewed twice before submission
- Final Submission — clean claims filed on time, every time
Coding nephrology medical services on your own while maintaining the privacy of patients’ PHI can be mind-boggling. But hiring our professionals will resolve the problem: we maintain compliance with the PHI security standards set by the government. The billing staff sticks to the “need to know” principle — the same HIPAA-compliant discipline behind our two-layer quality checks — while coding and preparing claims to ensure zero information leakage.
Frequently Asked Questions
Efficient nephrology billing is crucial to providing high-quality nephrology care. However, providers have their concerns regarding the process. Below we have answered some questions that they frequently ask. Whether you’re practicing nephrology individually or affiliated with a hospital, these will effectively clear your confusion. Let’s have a look:
1) What are common nephrology procedures that require billing?
The most common are hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, kidney biopsies, chronic kidney disease (CKD) management, kidney transplant care, and related surgical services — each with its own coding and documentation requirements.
2) What are the most commonly used CPT codes in nephrology billing?
Hemodialysis with evaluation is billed with CPT 90935 (single evaluation) or 90937 (repeated evaluations in a day), while monthly end-stage renal disease (ESRD) management is billed with codes 90951-90962, based on the patient’s age and treatment setting.
What are "add-on" codes in nephrology billing?
Add-on codes report additional services performed during the same encounter beyond the base procedure — for example, extended evaluation time during a dialysis session. They must be documented separately and billed alongside the primary code, never alone.
