Billing for workers compensation claims requires patience that standard medical billing doesn’t demand, since payment depends heavily on dispute resolution and employer insurer timelines rather than a predictable payer response window. Documentation has to be thorough enough to support the claim regardless of how long a contested injury determination takes to settle. When you start billing workers compensation, practices don’t plan for these extended timelines and often end up with a much larger aging accounts receivable bucket than expected, simply because workers’ comp claims move at their own pace and don’t follow the same 30-60-90-day cycle other medical billing typically does.
