Practice Type Billing
Specialty pages answer which codes the visit uses. Practice-type pages answer how the organization is built: one physician, a small group, several specialties under one tax ID, more than one address, a walk-in urgent care, a hospital outpatient department, or an ASC. Vector Medical Billing is in Jamaica, New York, and the work is remote.
Choose the practice shape
Use the page that matches the organization. Keep the specialty page for the code set.
Solo practice
One rendering provider, enrollment that waits on that physician's signature, and no in-house billing desk.
Read solo practice billingSmall group
A few clinicians. New associates and midlevels billed under the NPI that actually saw the patient.
Read small group billingMulti-specialty group
One organization, separate coding rules per specialty, reports that do not blend the departments.
Read multi-specialty billingMulti-location
The service address is the building where the visit happened. A/R is readable by site.
Read multi-location billingUrgent care
Place of service 20, and either a global urgent care code or an E/M — not both.
Read urgent care billingHospital outpatient
Professional claim at place of service 22, kept off the hospital's facility bill.
Read hospital outpatient billingAmbulatory surgery center
Facility fee separate from the surgeon and from anesthesia. Medicare uses place of service 24.
Read ASC billingSpecialty still matters
Practice type is the organization. The code set is the specialty page — cardiology, dental, therapy, and the rest.

What is a practice type?
How the organization is built: one physician, a small group, several specialties, more than one address, urgent care, a hospital outpatient department, or an ASC. It is not the clinical code set.
We are a solo cardiology office. Which page?
Solo practice billing for the shape, and the cardiology specialty page for the codes. Both apply.
Is urgent care a specialty?
On this site it is a setting. Emergency department coding stays on the emergency medicine specialty page.
How is the fee set?
A percentage of net collections. No setup fee on the monthly cycle. The written rate follows volume, specialty, and how much of the cycle you hand over.
