San Francisco is a premium healthcare market where UCSF Health, Dignity Health, Kaiser, and Sutter Health anchor pain management care. High operating costs mean pain management practices in the city cannot afford revenue leakage from denied procedures, underpaid claims, or missed authorizations. The Bay Area’s sophisticated payer environment demands billing precision that general RCM companies are not equipped to deliver for interventional pain.

Cosentus provides full-cycle pain management billing and revenue cycle management designed for the financial realities of the San Francisco market. Our coding team handles injections, spinal cord stimulators, ablations, nerve blocks, and medication management with the payer-specific accuracy needed to maximize collections in a high-cost market. Every authorization is tracked and every claim is coded by pain management specialists.

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.
