Medication access and authorization
Biologics and physician-administered drugs can trigger prior authorization, step-therapy, benefit-pathway, approved-unit, and renewal requirements.

ACP Specialty Billing
Billing support for rheumatology practices managing chronic inflammatory conditions, infusion-related services, procedures, and medication reimbursement.
Built around your work
Rheumatology claims benefit from a record that connects the diagnosis, disease activity, treatment history, treatment decision, medication, dose, administration, and monitoring to the service billed. When a medication is high cost, small omissions in the documentation or charge details can have an outsized impact on payment timing.
Where the details matter
Biologics and physician-administered drugs can trigger prior authorization, step-therapy, benefit-pathway, approved-unit, and renewal requirements.
The record needs to align the drug, dose, waste when applicable, administration service, diagnosis, and patient-specific documentation.
Office visits, joint procedures, monitoring, and infusions can be affected by changing payer rules across an extended course of care.
Payer and reimbursement follow-through
Payers may treat a therapy differently depending on whether it is covered under the medical or pharmacy benefit, supplied by a specialty pharmacy, administered in office, or subject to an authorization pathway. ACP helps practices organize the payer response, documentation requests, and claim corrections that follow those decisions.
Medication reimbursement can involve denials, partial payments, authorization expirations, NDC or units questions, and accounts that need escalation before the balance grows. ACP’s follow-up and reporting help rheumatology practices see which payers and treatments are creating friction.
