San Diego’s active population and large military presence create strong demand for pain management services. Scripps Health, Sharp HealthCare, and UC San Diego Health serve a market where interventional procedures, spine care, and chronic pain treatment are in high demand. The region’s significant TRICARE volume adds complexity that pain management billing teams must handle alongside commercial, Medicare, Medi-Cal, and workers compensation claims.

Cosentus provides full-cycle pain management billing and revenue cycle management tailored to the San Diego market. Our team manages TRICARE, commercial, Medicare, Medi-Cal, and workers comp billing with procedure-specific precision. Every injection, stimulator, ablation, and nerve block is coded by specialists who understand the documentation and authorization requirements for each payer in the region.

Complete Pain Management Revenue Cycle

Interventional Procedure Coding

Epidural, facet, sacroiliac, trigger point, nerve block, RFA, SCS implants and trials. Precise CPT selection with correct modifiers for laterality and imaging guidance.

Medical Necessity & Documentation

We document what each payer requires before the claim goes out to reduce denials and defend pre-payment reviews.

Pre-Payment Review Defense

When payers trigger reviews, we prepare and defend your documentation with clinical evidence.

Prior Authorization

Authorizations tracked and cleared for injections, SCS trials, ablations, and imaging-guided procedures. Payers scrutinize pain more than most. We make sure nothing stalls.

Medication Management & Drug Screening

Proper coding for medication management visits, drug screening, and related services.

Denial Management & Appeals

Methodical appeals with clinical evidence. Every denial gets a root cause review to fix the pattern, not just the claim.

Patient Billing & Support

Cindy handles patient balances and billing questions in over 50 languages. Clear statements for every visit.

Analytics & Visibility

Dashboards showing collections by procedure, provider, payer, and denial category. See where your revenue is going.
