Gastroenterology Medical Billing Services
GI practices, with their complex endoscopy coding and high-volume procedure mix, need a billing partner that understands the specialty inside and out. Atlas brings years of gastroenterology billing expertise to the table.
Get An Expert TakeNo Two Gastroenterology Clinics Are The Same...
...but many deal with similar issues. We bring our experience from working with many other gastroenterology groups to help you navigate the key questions for your practice.
When should I add a new service line?
New service lines should bring in patients for your core service or keep your existing patients longer. Always think about the impact on the core care journey — don't think about starting totally new clinic pathways. The best expansions strengthen what you already do well.
How do I negotiate better payer rates?
You need to push for better rates up front and ask for a raise every year. With insurance companies, the more you ask, the more you get. Most practices accept whatever rates payers offer at credentialing and never revisit them — that's leaving money on the table.
How do I know if my practice is leaving money on the table?
Most practices don't know what they're missing until someone looks. A billing audit that compares your charges, collections, and denial patterns against specialty benchmarks will show you exactly where the leaks are — and they're almost always bigger than you think.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Atlas handle colonoscopy coding when polyps are found during a screening? +
When a screening colonoscopy converts to a diagnostic procedure due to polyp discovery, we apply the appropriate modifier (PT or 33) to ensure the screening component remains covered at zero patient cost share while the diagnostic and therapeutic services are billed correctly. We review every pathology result to confirm the final coding matches the clinical findings, protecting both your revenue and your patients from surprise bills.
How long does the transition take? +
Most practices are fully transitioned within 30 days. We run in parallel with your current billing operation during the overlap period so there is zero disruption to your cash flow and no claims fall through the cracks.
Do you provide a dedicated billing manager? +
Yes. Every Atlas client gets a dedicated billing manager with a direct phone number you can call or text anytime. Your billing manager knows your payer mix, your fee schedules, and your practice inside and out.
Are there long-term contracts? +
No. We work on month-to-month agreements because we believe you should stay with us because of results, not because of a contract. Most of our clients have been with us for years.
