The problem
One appointment can become a lot of billing decisions.
Stages, tissue blocks, diagnosis, and documentation have to line up.
When treatment follows on the same lesion, bundling can change what belongs on the claim.
Excision coding depends on lesion size and the margins taken.
Simple repair may be included; intermediate or complex closure may be separately reportable when supported.
Covered services and patient responsibility need to stay distinct when both appear in the same workflow.

Common questions
What teams ask us.
Answered clearly, without the sales pitch.
What makes dermatology billing different?
One encounter can involve multiple lesions, procedures, repairs, pathology services, drugs, and coverage types. What gets paid depends on how those details relate.
What dermatology-specific logic does RCx include?
Current content addresses Mohs surgery, lesion removal, closure coding, biopsies, pathology, cosmetic and reconstructive services, photodynamic therapy, drug units, and wound care.
Can routine dermatology charge corrections happen without manual review?
Yes. Supported modifier, unit, procedure, and sequencing corrections can happen before claim creation. Cases requiring documentation or coding judgment stay with your experts.
What happens after the claim is created?
Can the logic reflect how we bill?
Yes. Apply out-of-the-box specialty-specific logic by payer, provider, location, specialty, and workflow — then add your billing expertise on top of ours.
Can we learn from more than our own denial history?
Yes. Your outcomes can be viewed alongside payer policy and relevant patterns across similar specialties, markets, and payers — so you can anticipate denial risk and strengthen future logic.
