A specialty code in medical billing identifies a provider’s area of practice and plays a key role in claims processing, reimbursement, and compliance. This guide explains specialty codes, how they differ from taxonomy codes, common types, and how errors lead to denials and revenue loss.

Claim denials vary by specialty, payer rules, and documentation standards. Explore the top claim denial reasons by specialty and practical fixes to prevent revenue loss.

A structured approach to claim tracking and denial resolution helps reduce A/R days by addressing unpaid and denied claims early. This blog explains how coordinated A/R and denial management improves reimbursement timelines and keeps billing workflows on track.
