As part of Los Angeles County, Long Beach Medi-Cal patients fall under the county's Two-Plan model, L.A. Care or Health Net, each with its own plan partners and rules. Long Beach also runs one of the few city-level health departments in California and has a strong safety-net presence, plus a large veteran population tied to the VA.
Meridian manages the entire revenue cycle for Long Beach providers, from eligibility and prior authorization through coding, claims, denials, and collections. We know how the area's plans behave, so your practice spends less time reworking claims and more time seeing patients.
You get the complete cycle, not a single service in isolation.
We confirm coverage before the visit, including which LA County plan (L.A. Care or Health Net) a Long Beach Medi-Cal patient falls under, so claims aren't denied later.
Authorizations secured ahead of service and tracked to approval, following the plan partner rules (such as Molina) a member is assigned to.
Clean claims filed to each Long Beach payer's exact specs, with scrubbing that catches errors before they cost you.
Certified coders apply accurate, compliant codes that hold up to Long Beach payer and audit scrutiny.
Every denial worked, appealed, and root-caused so the same Long Beach rejection doesn't keep recurring.
Aging Long Beach accounts followed relentlessly to bring down days in A/R and collect what you're owed.
What decides whether a Long Beach claim gets paid is specific to this city and county. We manage it for you:
