Why Pediatrics Billing in Fort Worth Requires Specialized Expertise
Pediatric billing in Fort Worth is driven by CHIP and Medicaid STAR Kids — the two dominant payers for children in Tarrant County. EPSDT mandates comprehensive preventive screenings with specific documentation requirements, and vaccine billing requires precise NDC-level coding for each dose administered.
- CHIP and Medicaid STAR Kids — Aetna Better Health, Molina, Superior HealthPlan billing rules
- EPSDT (Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic, and Treatment) compliance
- Well-child visit CPT codes — 99381–99385 and 99391–99395 — by age group
- Vaccine billing — CPT + NDC codes, VFC program documentation
- Developmental and behavioral screenings — M-CHAT, PSC, CRAFFT coding
- Same-day preventive and sick visit billing with modifier -25
MedVoice’s pediatric billing team understands the nuances of CHIP/STAR Kids contracting, EPSDT documentation, and vaccine billing that directly impact Fort Worth pediatric practice revenue.

FAQ – Pediatrics Billing Solutions for Healthcare Practices in Fort Worth
Do you handle CHIP and Medicaid STAR Kids billing for Fort Worth pediatric practices?
Yes. MedVoice has deep expertise in billing for Texas CHIP managed care plans — including Aetna Better Health of Texas, Molina Healthcare, and Superior HealthPlan. We manage plan-specific claim requirements, EPSDT screening billing, and prior authorization workflows specific to Tarrant County pediatric providers.
How do you handle vaccine billing and VFC program documentation?
We bill CPT 90460/90461 for counseling-accompanied immunizations and apply the correct NDC codes for each vaccine administered. For VFC-enrolled practices, we ensure proper documentation separating VFC-supplied from privately purchased vaccine stock — preventing audit risk and ensuring full reimbursement for administration fees.
Can you bill for same-day sick and well-child visits?
Yes. When a sick issue is addressed at the same visit as a well-child exam, we apply modifier -25 to the evaluation and management code to ensure both services are reimbursed. We also ensure the medical record documentation supports billing for both services on the same date of service.
How do you manage ADHD and developmental screening billing?
We bill CPT 96110 for developmental screenings (M-CHAT, PSC) and 96161 for caregiver health risk assessments. For ADHD evaluation and management, we ensure proper E&M level coding with supporting complexity documentation. We coordinate behavioral health billing codes when applicable for co-occurring mental health diagnoses.
