When it comes to medical billing in Alberta, many physicians and clinic managers find the process overwhelming. Between keeping up with Alberta billing codes, fee schedules, and explanatory codes, it can feel like a full-time job just to make sure claims are submitted correctly.

At OMIX Health, we specialize in helping clinics across Alberta simplify their billing services so they can focus on what matters most patient care.

Understanding Alberta Health Billing

Every physician working under the Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan (AHCIP) must submit claims according to the Schedule of Medical Benefits (SOMB). This includes:

Alberta Health billing codes that change regularly.
Billing modifiers that affect payment amounts.
Explanatory codes used when claims are rejected or questioned.

The Alberta Medical Association (AMA) even provides tools like the Fee Navigator to help physicians navigate the complexity. But even with those resources, many clinics still struggle with compliance and efficiency.

Common Billing Challenges in Alberta:

Physicians and clinics often face:

Claim rejections due to billing errors or incorrect modifiers.
Time lost reviewing the Schedule of Medical Benefits instead of seeing patients.
Confusion with governing rules around Alberta Health billing.
Lack of proper training for clinic staff on medical billing compliance.
Revenue loss from missed or incorrect claims.

For many, outsourcing to a professional Alberta medical billing company becomes the most efficient solution.

Why OMIX Health is Different:

Unlike other billing services in Alberta, OMIX Health doesn’t just submit claims—we provide a complete operational partnership:

Regular audits and monthly verifications to prevent revenue leakage.
Training for clinic staff to ensure accuracy in coding and claim submissions.
